I have been using Amy Knapp's family organizer the last year and love it. There is enough space for daily appointments to be written in the calendar, a to do list, tear off side columns for grocerys &/or meals. You can get it spiral bound or hole punched to put in your standard size planner.

This came at a great time for me, thanks! I'll be checking out a couple of these. Right now, I use the regular calendar and it works well for me.

Thanks so much for all these great links! I am a total list maker and just put the Remember the Milk app on my iPhone! I am so excited to get to use it!

Great roundup! I'm loving the online tools these days, though I still rely heavily on my printed planner pages that I adapted from simplemom using excel…sometimes I "reuse" them in plastic sleeves to try and save on the paper. Here is a link for anyone interested: http://problemsolvinmom.blogspot.com/2009/04/organizing-tip-thursday-creating-your.html

My favorite wall calendar is the one by Real Simple available at Target. You fill in your own dates, so you can start at anytime of the year. It also has color coded stickers for different family members. The stickers come off great if you need to move them around also. I've used it for 3 years now! Still need to find a hand held organizer I love as much as this one. Thanks for the great blog.

Awesome review of calendars. This time of year I always get the itch to reorganize and head to the office supply store. Right now I am off to go check out the Cozi calendar–I like that it looks so cute online.

Love the links for the online tools and I'm going to give some of them a try – but I'm still a pen and paper gal. Though I use Google to keep coordinated with my online team.

I posted a couple weeks ago about the calendar I use and how I use it for business and family.
