The Bottom Line

The momAgenda Desktop Planner is perfect for busy moms who need to record tons of information, but want a day planner with class and style. The momAgenda Desktop planner contains weekly and monthly planner pages, room to record information for children's activities, slots for menu planning, and so much more. I love the momEssentials removable address booklet and birthday planner because after using the planner for 17 months, I can pull-out that section and put it straight into my new planner without having to recopy all my information. The momAgenda planner has a place for everything I need to keep track of.

Guide Review - momAgenda Desktop Planner

I have a crush on the momAgenda desktop planner. I didn't mean for it to happen. Sure, I was intrigued by the blue faux crocodile cover. It made me want to open the planner up and delve inside. But it wasn't until I really took a look at the inside of the planner, that my love boiled over. The momAgenda has room for everything I need to schedule. Want to glance at your entire month? No problem. Want tons of space to schedule out your week? Easy. Want room to record kids' activities, dinner plans, websites, music recommendations, entertaining ideas, contact info, and important holidays? Check, check, check. The momAgenda has it all. Besides functionality, I love the beauty of the planner. I'm shallow like that. The soft pale colors of the pages, the trendy colors and covers available, the place marking ribbons...it all adds up to a planner you'll be proud to use and display.

I was very disappointed with this purchase. I am a huge fan of Planners / Organizers / Stationary, etc. I have used everything from Franklyn Covey to store bought calendars in the past. This planner is cheaply made for the money and poorly organized. There are no tabs ( I believe this is something you can purchase separately) and there are no built in pockets. I paid the extra $10 for the stick on pockets, which are also very cheaply made. Last year I bought a Mother's Planner at CVS. It came in a variety of great colors and had a place for a picture of the kids on the front. It was very well organized, some of the pages even look the same as this planner. It fit easily into my purse and I loved it. Total cost: $7.50. When I went to buy another one this year, they were out of stock so I started searching the internet and found this planner. Again - huge waste of money. I bought a few extra pads and a chore chart, so my total bill was $75. I can't stress enough how much this was not worth the money. Go to CVS!
