Amy Knapp Organizers

Description

Compact and spiral-bound, these planners have a lot to offer the busy parent! Week-at-a-Glance pages also have a list for tasks, menu planning, a grocery list, reduced calendar of last and next months and weekly inspirational quotes. The quotes are secular in the Family Organizer and Scripture in the Christian Family version. The cover has an inside pocket. There are also full month-at-a-glance pages. The dates are from August 1, 2021 to January 1, 2023. Two pages of colorful stickers include birthdays, meetings, games, and more. The covers are thick and sturdy. I especially liked the first few pages with space for goals and where improvements can be made. If you are not one to use your phone as a planner, a pretty and sturdy book like this is a great option. Planner stickers are not religious and include more than 350 stickers to brighten your days. They offer little reminders to take care of yourself and keep going. These are planners for life, not lessons. ~Sara
