I recently purchased a household planner from Tashia at The Household Planner and I had to share it with you! I have serious organizing issues (love to do it, just not very good) and this planner definitely exceeded my expectations.
You can create your own (purchase the printouts and then put them in the binder yourself) or you can go the super easy route like me and have the creation done for you. My planner included:
-
Dated 2010 Calendar – June 2009 – June 2010 also available
-
Household Information Forms
-
Phone List – Mom’s version is customized for families
-
Household Chore Lists
-
Weekly Meal Planner
-
Financial Organizer
-
3 Ring Binder
-
Divider Tabs
-
1 Pocket Folder
-
1 Business Card Holder Page
I knew it would include those items, I just didn’t realize how useful they were! There is a household section that has a place for all your phone numbers, medical info, babysitter info, pet info, subscription lists, rebate lists, website login info, gift lists, and wish lists.
The daily planner section has a small reference calender, a 
larger one page month calender to list birthdays/important dates, to do lists, goals and projects lists, and of course the calenders and weekly planning info.
The household section has a household chore list – it even gives you suggestions! It also includes a home maintenance plan and weekly laundering plan.
There is also a meal planning section and a finance section.
Each section starts with at least one page describing what you can do with the information you now have. I was able to pick the color of my binder and the style of my planning section. It was cheaper than the planner I picked up at Target (and worlds better). The one I bought is catered toward moms so there is a lot of info in there for your kids as well.
When I received this I contacted Tashia to tell her how wonderful it was and she offered to do a giveaway for my readers! I tried to get some good pictures of mine, but I don’t think my digital takes them well enough – I couldn’t zoom in to the parts I was trying to see

I'd love to have the women's planner – I've got all my stuff in several places so it would be great to have it all in one spot.
And the financial pages look quite handy!

They both look great – hmmm, I am a busy woman AND a busy mom, what to choose?? I'll go with the busy mom planner! Thank you for introducing these useful planners.

not sure it's my best organization tip but it's been useful… I keep all my user manuals (fridge, stove, etc) under the silverware tray in the kitchen so they're always handy.

Best organization tool: we have a family meeting once a week for 30 minutes, during which my husband and I compare calendars, figure out who has the baby at what time, what we'll eat for dinner, etc. So helpful!
I'd LOVE the mom's planner! <3
Also, I read your blog on my BlackBerry via RSS in Viigo! LOVE IT! (Especially your HyVee matchups)
Oh my, being a newly back to work mom, I need this, weather or not I win I will own one!! I would like/need the moms planner.
Tweeted about the contest! What an awesome giveaway. @lauralouwho2
I emailed this to 5 people (who need it too!) and I put it on my facebook page
My organization tip is to reuse cereal boxes for mail (have kids decorate it) and I have a mail box for each thing, bills, junk, husbands, kids.
Don't procrastinate! Get it done.
I like the mom's planner.
I'd love the Mom's Planner!!
I would love the moms planner! calynl@gmail.com
Her financial organizer is unbelievable! Talk about thinking of things I never would have. It's aesthetically pleasing too, not like a boring spreadsheet! I'd like the mom's planner if I win.
Would LOVE the Mom's Planner! Thanks for the chance to win!
I also like the Financial Planner on her website! Thanks for another chance to win!
I subscriber by email! Thanks for another chance to win~
I've had lots of organization tips over the years, but really the best prevention one is to process everything daily–ie. when I get home from a shopping trip, I put everything away right away if I can. I process the daily mail at the garbage can & set in piles for different levels of the house. I try to fold laundry the day that it gets done. Library check-outs get put in their baskets as soon as we get home. If I can't get to something on the same day, I will go level by level (4 levels) in my house the next morning, decluttering along the way. It's so much easier to keep my house organized this way, instead of leaving everything for the weekend.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love to get a womens planner. Thanks for the chance to win one!
I, too, would love the women's planner. I have 17-year-old twins who could use some organizing and I think learning by example would be a super way to get them off to a good start for now and when they leave home. Sure hope I win! I am in much need of organizing. I think the financial planner/pages are super and something, especially during these times, could benefit from. Thans for another great site to visit.
By the way, I think using the 15 minute timer and getting things done in little chunks of time is a great organizing tool that I've using for a few months now. Surprising how much you can accomplish in 15 minutes!
I would love to have the Mom's Planner! With eight children and one on the way, as well as, homeschooling, I could definitely use something to keep me organized. Thanks for the opportunity.
I would love the Mom's Household planner. I have been looking for a way to try to better organize our chaotic lives, and this might be it!
I would love the Mom's planner.
Thanks for the chance!
My best organizing tip is to organize my coupons the day before going to the store and organizing the coupons by aisle too!

thanks!

thanks!
The Mom's Planner looks great!
The Phone Directory looks very helpful as having one place to place all of this useful information will help to save time instead of looking for all those pieces of paper you have placed in a spot where you will easily be able to find it 🙂
I would love the moms planner! And I love the cleaning lists

Best organization tip: Every time you bring something new into the house, take something out. Try it!

I liked the Household chores planner, since I don't have an organized cleaning schedule. Maybe it would help ease my procrastination a bit. I was also very impressed by the free printables – what a great resource!
I would pick the womens planner. Oh to be organized!!!!!!!!
Oh, I would LOVE the MOMS PLANNER! I need help with keeping up with 5 kids!
thanks

love the MOMs planner!
I'd do the Woman's planner

I would pick the Mom's planner. And I like the household chores planner. maybe that WOULD help me to be more organized.
Entry #48 = Elizabeth (subscription entry, forgot to put it in a different post)
Entry #49 = Cherise (organization tip, forgot to put it in a different post)
Entry #50 = KeyserPublicity (other product, forgot to put it in a different post)
I'd love the Women's Planner!
My best organizational tip is to USE PAPER. This might not work for everyone, but I simply can't use online organizational tools because they're too easy to avoid by avoiding the computer. A big calendar on the kitchen wall, though, and printed to-do lists on the fridge, are a lot harder for me to ignore!
I think the Household Information Forms would come in pretty handy!
