Amy Knapp’s Family Organizer  is my favorite planner – and since it just dropped to the $10 range, I grabbed my copy for next school year. While online planners are all the rage, this one sits on a cookbook stand on my desk (so it never gets buried!) and tracks the schedules of our entire family. Everyone refers to it daily (and they’ve learned to write down their important dates here)!

While I know that many people love their calendar apps (we keep a digital calendar as well), this is what has worked best for our family, since it includes meal planning and allows everyone to see what’s ahead.

What I love about Amy Knapp’s Family Organizer:

• Plenty of room each day for our family’s schedule, plus stickers to mark important birthdays and appointments
• A weekly to do list and a full calendar layout once each month for planning.
• There’s room for a grocery list and meal planning each week. The grocery list is perforated – just tear it off and head to the store!
• The organizer measures around 6×8″ – small enough to fit in a purse if needed, but large enough that I can’t lose it easily.
• Spiral bound with a double wire – I’ve never had issues with pages falling out, but I can tear them out if needed.
• It’s a 17 month planner, so each year runs from August through the following December. I usually grab my new copy at this time of year so I can plan ahead for the next school year.
• On a good week, we’ll brainstorm meal ideas as a family during Sunday dinner. It’s a nice way to plan ahead for the week’s activities.

*MICHIGAN BUSINESS* I’ve been using Amy Knapp’s Organizers for several years now. She’s a mom from Kalamazoo, Michigan – and I love supporting her small business! I got my copy last week and already started filling it in with this year’s school calendar and appointments (and already I feel more organized)!

What B2B Readers Have to Say:

• I use this planner too! I like the grocery list on the side and that there are large spots for planning the days of the week. A good planner that is portable is hard to find. – Amy
