MomAgenda Spiral Refill and Folio Cover: My Paper Calendar Pick (w. giveaway)

By

I’m often asked how I stay organized. 3 words: momAgenda Spiral Refill. Back to school time means getting organized and despite my love of technology, my trusty calendar has always been the Spiral Refill from momAgenda!
Just some of my Spiral Refills from past years.
And yes, really I do save my personal calendars!

Affordably priced at $24, the Spiral Refill has all the great features that momAgenda is known for but comes in a convenient size (7” x 9”) that sits flat thanks to the spiral that also serves as the perfect place to house a pencil or pen.

This year I’m using my Spiral Refill differently than I have in the past. It’s always been our family calendar but due to the need to have an online shared calendar that can be easily accessed and updated on the go and through the cloud, my momAgenda Spiral Refill has become my work calendar. 
The top half of the calendar is perfect for work calls, appointments, and dates and times I’m volunteering in the kids’ classrooms. 
The day’s appointments and calls go in the top section
The bottom section features a place for up to 4 schedules and while those areas used to be the place where I wrote in after school activities, doctor’s appointments, and my husband’s travel schedule, I now use them to keep track of work commitments.
Hmmm. I must consider my blogs my children!
My editorial calendar for this site, posts I’m planning for my Tech Savvy Parents column over on Parents.com, and milestones for projects with Clever Girls Collective each have their own row so each day’s commitments can be easily seen in the column!
I love that the momAgenda Spiral Refill calendar runs through the academic year meaning that it starts in August 2012 and runs through December 2013, mirroring the school calendar!  There are the weekly views pictured above but there’s also a monthly view.
It’s the perfect size to sit on my desk or to tuck in my bag when traveling and the durable plastic cover ensures that it will last the whole year and beyond. I’ve traveled with mine endlessly and recently added the Refillable Folio Cover that I wish I had gotten sooner!

The Refillable Folio Cover ($24.95) is specifically designed for the Spiral Collection and is made of beautiful Italian faux leather. I have the shimmering pink but it also comes in shimmering spring green or shimmering smokey gray. The colors are beautiful and all would be a great addition to the Spiral Refill.

    I have used a few of the different styles, but I love the home office edition so far. I’ve had different styles/colors, but really love them all! I think all of the Mom Agenda’s are must haves!

    I love the weekly family planner pad – We are a family of five and it has enough room so we can all see what is up for the week as well as “What’s for dinner” I bought it at staples and then have checked the website regularly for new products. I wish I knew how to tweet… gymmomto3@charter.net

    I’ve used the Desktop for a couple of years now and love it, although I’ve been thinking of switching to the spiral with the folio cover, just to keep it closed better in my bag.

    I love the desktop! Been using it for three years and have just received my new one today. I would love to check out the spiral one or the mini’s! LOVE MOMAGENDA!

    I love mom Agenda-_I have the portfolio–after using the desktop for years–Now I am thinking of getting the Home Office. I also have used the wall calendar!

  26. Tawny says

    I have used the giraffe desktop last year and LOVE it! I think I would like to try out the kitchen portfolio at some point. I would love to win a new one for this new year 🙂

    Cool stuff! I hadn’t seen their pads before. There are some handy things there. I think the menu and chore pads are my favorites. I can imagine using the chore pads to keep track of whether someone has given my kids their meds as well!

    This pink folio would protect my life’s plans. I really need a bright color so I can always locate it. If I can’t find my agenda planner I am lost because it is where I record all my future bill payments,, my job interviews all important dates/tasks and I also keep track of mileage for physical therapy and my many medical appointments. Without this beautiful pink folio my whole life would get worn & torn without it’s protection.

Trackbacks

  1. […] I found that using the top half to keep track of work calls, appointments, and dates and times I’m volunteering in the kids’ classrooms worked well. Having the bottom portion to note kids’ schedules along with my editorial calendars for Parents.com, Babble Tech, and my own site keeps me organized by allowing me to see my work commitments and plan my week accordingly. For photos of how I’ve meshed my work and family schedule into my momAgenda Spiral Refill, visit this post. […]
