It’s Almost August
Time for a new BusyBodyBook

July 11, 2008 by Jennifer Donovan

Do you use one of those school-year calendars that go August to August? For the last couple years, I have. It’s in August that I begin to think about all of the practices, after-school activities, doctor’s appointments, snacks I have to bring, and all of those things of which a mom must keep track.

Back-to-school is the time each year when I have to forget the lazy days with no schedule and buckle back down (although 5 Minutes for Mom and my new 5 Minutes for Books site have kept me busy so far this summer).

Actually, it was my work with 5 Minutes for Mom, as well as participating in blog events and book blog tours on my personal blog Snapshot that first convinced me I needed one good place to keep track of everything.

Last year I reviewed the Busy Body Book here on 5 Minutes for Mom (twice actually). I have been using it faithfully all year. Each week I use the unique five-grid system to keep track of contest ending dates, hours worked, to-do lists (there’s a nice list page opposite of the weekly grid), phone calls to return, appointments, dinner menus–you name it.

I just received the 2008 – 2009 Academic Year BusyBodyBook. I would not have guessed that it could get any better than the system upon which I’ve come to rely–but it has:

  • There is a separate flexible plastic cover for the front and back making it even more sturdy (although my heavy wax cardboard from last year held up just fine.
  • The bar at the top with the week’s date range is a little darker, so it pops.
  • The cover colors are brighter.

I can’t wait for the calendar to change so that I can break in my brand-new BusyBodyBook.

If you would like to win one of 4 Academic Year (August 2008 – September 2009) BusyBodyBook planners, leave a comment here, letting us know which design you prefer. We’ll announce the winners on July 24.

You can also save 10% on BBB brand new 2009 Wall Calendar if you order it now and enter the code “BBBWALL” in the comments section at checkout.

  262. RefreshMom says

    July 12, 2008 at 3:06 am

    I love the Dots one. And I think I might order the wall calendar for DH. He’s got events for several departments to keep track of and we were just talking how it might help him to have one wall calendar up where he could keep track of it all at a glance. This is even better than just color-coding the entries.

  263. Sarah W says

    July 12, 2008 at 2:27 am

    Oh, sign me up……I LOVE mine for this year. It’s been a huge help. I’ll take either design….surprise me!

    I have looked at this product before but never took the step to order it. It looks like a great system though! I would love to win one of those to try it out. My favorite is the polka dots! Thanks!

    I love the green with the dots too. I started using a planner three years ago, and it has made a tremendous difference. My mommy alzheimer’s has greatly diminished!

    I like the green with polka dots design. Going back to work in the fall and with two kids now in school I could sure use a good organizer.
