2011 Amy Knapp's Big Grid Family Organizer wall calendar: The essential organization and communication tool for the entire family

I have been using Amy Knapp's family organizer planner for 3 years, but I never tried the Big Grid organizer calendar until now. I have been using the Plan-It wall calendars for the past 3 years, but this past year noticed a dramatic decrease in quality. So I decided to try the Big Grid organizer this year and am glad I made the change.

I am posting a few more close up photos of what the calendar pages look like on Amazon to help those who might want to see more of this calendar.

Differences between Plan-It Calendars and Amy Knapp's Big Grid Family organizer:
---Plan-it has an area on the far left where you list each family member's name (up to 5 people) and then you are supposed to put that person's schedule on their grid line. The Big Grid Organizer does not have this. However, when I looked at my usage on the Plan-it, many times I ran out of space and wrote things all over day area.

I loved my Flylady calendar, but I did not want purple any more. THis one has similar sized squares. It comes with stickers, which I never remember to use. I especially like the little block for 'dinner menu' at the bottom of each day.
It's real paper, not slick like some calendars, so you can write effectively on it with anything (markers, pens, pencils). The paper stands up well to colored crayola markers (which I use to color-code the calendar for different family members) - it doesn't bleed through.

It is fairly heavy (I have three magnets to hang it from my fridge), but you really can't get away from a heavy calendar if you need big squares on paper that can handle markers.

All-in-all, a good calendar for organizing a busy family.

I love this calendar!!!!! It is made from the type of paper that you can write in pencil. It has large grids so that you have plenty of space to write multiple activities on each day. I love the extras on this calendar such as: the dinner menu, monthly projects suggestions, the "Don't Forget" section, check off projects list, the calendar stickers, and the extra list in the back for groceries etc. The 2 things that I might add to would be, a large pocket tab in the back to place flyers you may need for additional information, and a long thick and strong magnetic strip on the back of the calendar to adhere to a cabinet or refridgerator.
