Top 3 Planners For The Busy Mom
You need a planner and you need a plan!
Because:
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!
Yes, smart phones are great for appointment reminders and alarms but there’s nothing like putting pen to paper when it comes to planning out your week.
And we busy moms have busy weeks!
So, here’s the most important things that you’ll need in a planner.
1. Space for a to do list.
Every planner is spaced differently but one thing you need for sure is space for a to do list.
Not necessarily does it need to be a daily to do list. Weekly is fine too.
But the to do list space is a must! Then you’ll fix yourself once a week (or once a day – as you like) to sit down and write out your to do list.
Then as you accomplish your tasks you can have that amazing feeling of ticking off the done items on the list!
2. Menu Planning
Have a place for menu planning is a great plus – either weekly or a space for a set 3 weekly menu plan.
3. Inspiration
I love planners with inspirational quotes – just to keep up my spirits!
So here’s the scoop on the planners I would personally recommend.
The Mom Agenda
The Mom Agenda day planner was created to help moms get organized using a unique layout, with separate spaces for mom and up to four kids.
This planner literally makes getting organized that much easier with a family with special planning spaces for each child, plus a space for menu plans and loads of other family organizational tools.
If you're a mom - and you're busy - this might just be the most important tool you'll get!

Amy Knapp’s Christian Family Organizer
Amy’s Christian Family Organizer is very similar to her mainstream family organizer with all the same benefits.
