I purchased both the Boynton Family Calendar and this calendar last year and used them simultaneously. I really felt the Boynton calendar was much better in terms of execution and space. This Plan it Plus calendar was just too small. If I needed to write more than one appointment on a given day, it would not fit in the little square and made the calendar look very messy. The only thing I really liked was the magnetic strip at the top so that it could be hung from the Fridge which the Boynton calendar doesn't have. Other than that, I would not recommend this calendar to any families who have more than one child. I am curious though about the super size version which has recently come out. I already purchased the 2009 Boynton calendar and am seriously considering purchasing the Plan It Plus super size 2009 version and compare them again. Then maybe write a review on each next year.

Decided to try a new calendar this year and now wish I hadn't. The squares are far too small. I like to write the when and where of any appointment and there just isn't room to do this for more than one person on a given day. I see there is a super-size version coming. If you can wait that may be a better option, if not I recommend the More Time Moms calendar. It is not nearly as colorful but there are large squares with plenty of room to write.

I bought this to replace Mom's Family calendar by Sandra Boyton, what a mistake!

We often have more than one event per person per day, and the boxes are 1/2 the size of the old calendar, so there is not enough room to write anything about the appointment or meeting. With a busy family, this will just not work!

I am going to give this away to someone else.

We have 3 kids and a lot of activities to keep track of. I used to use the Boynton's family calendar, which was a great idea, with one column for each family member. However, it's really large and has a vertical format with just one day per row. It always felt a little awkward.

A couple of years ago we switched to this one. This one uses a standard horizontal format (one week per row), and fits on our refrigerator. (I've never had a magnet problem, so maybe the other reviewer just got a bad copy.)

We've been really happy with it. I like the artwork on the Boynton one a little better, but this format just works much better for our family.

This is my 4th year using the Mom's Plan-It Calendar. It is the best I've found for keeping our 5 member family organized.

I had the calendar hanging on my fridge and after a week, fell off the fridge minus the magnet. There is a definite flaw because the glue was not strong enough to hold the magnet on the back of the calendar & my attempts were futile when trying to put it back together. Otherwise, good enough for a family of five who aren't too "overbooked" with activities, although preferred the location of the fridge door.

This is my favorite calendar ever! This is the second time I've purchased it and I will probably continue to do so as long as they make it. It has the perfect amount of space for my 5 person family and it keeps me organized which I love. It's also very cute. It comes with lots of stickers if that's your thing, but I really don't use them.

I love this calendar. I agree with the other reviewer who said that she "couldn't live without it." I have used the '06-'07 and the '07-'08 versions, and have yet to see anything better suited to a busy family's (aka Mom's) lifestyle. The only improvement I would suggest is more rows for more family members - only because I have a friend with five kids. There are five rows all together, so I have a line for Dad, Mom, and each of three kids.
I would suggest this calendar to any mom who asked my opinion.
And considering that this is the first time that I have "rated" an item at Amazon, I must really mean it. :o)

I have the '07-'08 version of this calendar and searched the internet to find the new one for the upcoming year. I have 3 kids and I don't think I can ever go back to a regular calendar - cramming in everybody's activities into a regular calendar box. My kids (ages 6,4,2) know how to read the calendar and can keep track of their own upcoming activities. My oldest even checks her line for "gym" days at school on her own to know when to wear gym shoes.
