(CLOSED) I Resolve to… Get Organized! BusyBodyBooks Giveaway

January 5th, 2010 · 105 Comments

I have officially started my New Year’s Resolution’s Guide! Today is packed with a bit of fun including this review and giveaway! Later today you will find an AWESOME guest post! This is my brain! I do not know how how I managed to survive without it. I use my BusyBodyBook for my blog. Everyone asks me how I manage to stay organized. It is really quite simple… I have the very best planner in the world!

I have a brand new Berry one for 2010 and now use one of the 5 columns for my menu plan! This is perfect because I spend more time looking at my BusyBodyBook Organizer than any other item in my house. It is a constant reminder for me to get busy making supper.

Now, I have a new toy! Joan recently sent me the UNdated Weekly Grid Pad to review. This is an AWESOME thing, too! Since it has a magnet, it sticks right on my fridge. When I first received it, I couldn’t figure out the best way to use it. My wonderful middle boy, Zack solved the problem. He looked at it sitting on the fridge and asked in his high-pitched 7 year old voice, “MOM! You got us a new chore chart!??” What else could I say but, “Yes!”? LOL!

It has 7 columns across it, which is perfect for chores! They currently have the following:

T – Teeth (3)
Z – Teeth (2)
T – Homeschool
Z – Homework
T – Feed and Water Annie
T – Meds
Z – Kool-Aide

It also has a notes section on the right side which we have found VERY useful for scribbling groceries as we use them up!

The BBB UNdated GRID Pad is the perfect desk size – 11 x 8-1/2, and a slim 52 pages.

One winner will receive a Busy Body Book UNdated Grid Pad!

REQUIRED: Visit the BusyBodyBooks website, look around, then come back and tell me something you want, like, or learned.

I like that each family member, with their own personal column, can plan and track their activities while they organize and coordinate with one another “side by side.”
This would help eliminate lots of confusion at our house.

I have just recently discovered blogging, and I am in LOVE. Its like when you discover a new product that you can’t believe you have been missing out on! So anyways, I added your feed a few days ago along with about 10 others and now I am excited to get up every morning:) So I don’t know exactly how this contest stuff works but I will do my best. I now follow you on twitter @melodyofbt, and I already subscribed to your feed and follow your blog. Now the thing that I loved on the BusyBodyBooks website was the family organizer. Nothing feels better or more secure then being organized and I would LOVE to have a planner like this to organize the lives of me and my two boys. Thanks for your wonderful blog!

With BusyBodyBook planners, managing your time is a breeze! BusyBodyBook family calendars provide each family member with their own column to organize and track their schedules and activities while coordinating with each other side by side.What a great way to organise my busy days ..and my families too !
