Brand New Motivated Moms! And another contest... • Oct. 29, 2007

Posted in Resources
I have written several times about the organizational system I use from Motivated Moms.  Well, 2008 is ready to download but the author has made it even better! 

They now have SIX versions of the planner, the full and half sized with and without Bible readings scheduled and then two new versions - the Page Per Day with the scheduled Bible readings and the same size without the Bible reading.  This is a full-sized planner (8.5"x11") which has a separate page for each day of the year with an Appointments section, Notes section and a small box for writing in the menu plan for the day.  All six versions now have a cover page and at the back a page for two-week menu planning that can be copied by the buyer to use throughout the year.
 
The Page Per Day is 368 pages and that much printing might not appeal to some buyers but many will love being able to have one notebook and have a section for their appointments and notes on each day with their chore list.  You can see a sample page of the newest version of the planner here.

You can order a Motivated Moms planner by clicking the link on the sidebar.  They are an economical $8.  But you can also post a comment and you'll be entered in a drawing to win a Motivated Moms planner!  I'll close the comments and contest this Saturday, the 3rd of November, at midnight.

I could use a little motivation around here. :) I'm still trying to get my feet back on the ground after having a new baby almost 5 months ago. I'm not sure how you're doing it Kendra - a 7 month old and pregnant. Blessings to you in your day today!

Motivated Moms - Oct. 29, 2007

Shared by Joyfulhomemaker
Thank you for your site and your contest. As a homeschooling mother of five 8 and under I have come to the point I HAVE to be better organized. Several years ago I was well on my way, but I fell off the wagon! From the outside everyone thinks I am very organized, but my dh and I both know the truth! Thank you for your encouragement.

This looks like a nice planner. I really enjoy reading all your tips for preschoolers. This is my first year schooling with my 2 1/2 year old. She really does add quite a change to our day for the older ones.

I've been debating whether or not to use Motivated Moms for the past few months. I desperately need to take a proactive approach to cleaning instead of my current "time to clean when it looks bad" approach!

I Would Like To Try Motivated Moms - Oct. 29, 2007

I actually tried to purchase Motivated Moms back in the spring but was having a paypal problem because we moved. Finally got that all straightened out, but just figured it was too late in the year to start using it. Maybe I can give it a try for 2008. I need something.....

I also purchased this in the past but never used it--I think because I lacked the M word--motivation!! I am now committed to using a clip board this year, and I think this would work out well for helping us manage our home. That is........as long as we stay motivated!!!

A drawing. How exciting!!! - Oct. 30, 2007

Shared by jabbabean

I can attest to the helpfulness of Motivated Moms. I bought a planner for this year. I've used it some. Boy, what a difference it made this past weekend! We got a call that guests from out-of-town were on their way on Saturday morning. My older children had jobs with other families and my husband already had plans. I cleaned the house by myself (with my 2 year old actually) and had the house ready in plenty of time because we'd been following the plan. I'd love to win next year's planner.

Organized fingerprints - Oct. 30, 2007

Shared by Nates5bs
I'll take organizational tips from Kendra any day! In fact, there's already fingerprints of her organization throughout my home already. I remember hearing some of them years ago and tucking them into my "file" (or you may call it my brain) for future use because my children were still to little, but now Kendra is everywhere in our home! Thanks, Kendra, for taking the time to impact our little home. My family thanks you.

I would love to be entered to win...I have 3 kids - ages 5, 4, and 2 and baby #4 is due Jan. 6th. I have got to get organized a do a better job before this baby arrives. Most days I feel like I am going under, and have no control. At the end of the day I am so tired, but when I look back, I can't really see what I have accomplished. I think this planner would really help me to concentrate on the important things...like reading my Bible and reading to my kids, the planner just includes so much.

I love the Motivated Moms planner. I have used it for the last 15 months and have really benefited from using it. I would love to win a new one, but know I will buy one if I don't. It really helps me remember those piddly jobs that I never remember (like cleaning out outside garbage cans). Thanks, Kendra for your blog and congrats on the newest little one. Praying for you and your morning sickness.

Motivated Mom's Contest - Nov. 3, 2007

Shared by Beth
I first purchased this planner in mid-2006 (per your recommendation) and have really enjoyed it.
When I am using it properly, I give my three oldest choices for the week of which of the jobs they would like to tackle (in addition to their regular duties). They like using it, if only their mom would be more consistent!
Thank you for your blog. It has been a real encouragement to me.

Kendra, I've enjoyed your blog for several years now and learned so much for you.
Thank you for all the hard work you do for all of us:)

Motivating Moms is a great tool. I used it a couple of years ago, then tried to come up with my own. It's much nicer to have it done for you :)
I would love to use it again.
