Attached mom of 3 boys just trying to keep my sanity while keeping the house clean and organized, shopping smart and saving money, being frugal, decorating on a budget, arranging fun activities for my boys, going green, making things homemade, and trying to improve my cooking skills!
About a month ago, Joan from Busy Body Book sent me a 2010 planner. I was so excited! I LOVE planners! There's just something in the promise of those blank pages that makes my heart flutter. I imagine all the things I'll write down; recipes, websites, phone numbers, email address...all in one place! I have to say that I have many planners. For whatever reason they don't get used. Usually it's because they look so nice that I'm afraid my scribblings will "mess it up". Stupid isn't it? I know.
So when my Busy Body Book arrived in the mail I stared at it for a while. Then I opened it and felt all the pages like they were magic. I immediately saw how handy it was going to be! I love everything about it. Let me explain:
2 Monthly Planners - One planner to record birthdays & anniversaries! Another to note next year's appointments & future events.
Months-at-a-glance - An overview to help plan ahead for the holidays, vacations, or special events.
Key contact pages - 2 Pages for your emergency contact information, doctors, coaches, babysitters...
Removable shopping lists - Perforated pages for creating handy grocery or gift lists.
2 Pockets - Inside front & back covers provide a deep pocket to hold important papers, receipts, coupons...
Bookmark - Easily flip to the current week with this unique bookmark that grabs the spiral.
Notes - A full page each week for notes, to do's, lists, or alerts. Plenty of notes pages in back of BBB too to record and keep important information.
NEW! - Sturdy, clear plastic covers now provide BBB's beautiful covers with even more protection.
Well, enough about my Busy Body Book...go get one! They are available in calendar year and school year, love that! A girl has to have options! Here's a peek at a page from their website:
She's so sure your gonna love it that they even have FREE printable grid pages for you to try out!!! If you find that the organizer isn't enough for you and your family...there is a larger 7 column format and a wall calendar available! Something for everyone! I love mine! Start the year off right and get organized with the help of the Busy Body Book.

I LOVE my Busy Body Book too! I've been using them for a few years now and always look forward to getting my new one. I use the columns for me, my husband, kids, dog and work. I like your idea of menu planning on the month at a glance pages. I also use my iCal on my computer but I find the BBB is a good one to throw in my purse and take with me when I leave the house.
You have a column for your dog? Must be one busy dog! lol! I'm not sure I need a column for my husband, he's not too busy that I need to keep track of him. I was thinking I may use his column for my blog!
I know! It does seem ridiculous but he goes to play with other dogs every other week and I need to keep that straight! My husband works on contracts so his routine changes and we share the car so when he needs it, I write that in his column. I like that you can change the columns up too. When my busy season is over workwise, I loose that column and make it something else.
That looks really neat! Does it come with a tracking device so I can find it when I leave it lying somewhere? Or more realistically, when my children grab it and take it somewhere? Seriously though, it looks really cool.
