FAMILY ORGANIZER / AGENDA FAMILIAL

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my calendar.  I call you every year and talk to Joanne or her son.  Not only is it a great product, you are great people.  Now, I see you are doing this fabulous project in Africa.  Way to go.  You are taking your success and building upon it in a way that is inspiring.

God Bless you and NO, I will NOT buy someone else's calendar.  Using a calendar to organize home life/children, etc. leads to organization and efficiency in business.  My kids and husband use my calendar daily because I plug them into it.  The stickers, the pictures at the top (now in color -- I used to use colored pencils and color it in when I was on hold.....), the seasonal suggestions, all of it, is well thought out and helpful.

Just wanted to write and give you my sincere thanks.  I know you get tons of correspondence, but it is always important to know that the efforts you make have wider significance than you can see.
Best wishes,

Just got my new Family Organizer calendar today and I absolutely love it! I fell in love with this calendar a few years ago, but opted to go with a different one last year and regretted it every day. I'm delighted to see all my favourite features – the inspirational quotes, the recipes, the big writing spaces and to do lists. It's just awesome. And I love the new stickers. I work part time outside the home. I'm a freelance writer. AND I'm a mom to two busy school aged children. Keeping track of their schedule, my schedules, and hubby's can be such a chore, but this calendar makes it a delight. Thanks for the great tool for keeping my family organized and me sane! 
One happy customer,

Moved to tears...

We have been using your family organizer for about 7 years now.  I was not able to obtain one anywhere that I called or went to in Tucson.  I did not know how I was going to function without it.  I then found your website and this problem was forever solved.  As the mother of 4 sons, the last who are twins and graduating in May 2008.  I sat down at the computer to place my order and burst into tears.  How could time have gone by so quickly?

Everyone in the family knows that we put everything down in this organizer and we are all on the same page.  It is with a heavy heart that I am placing this order.  Looking on the brighter side I will be able to put their college schedule and basketball games, homecomings, vacations and fun stuff in the next one that I get.

Thank you soooooooooooooooooooo much for thinking of all the moms, dads and children out there who have used this organizer.  It has been something that we are not able to live without.  I think that I will get one for each of the boys next year and tuck the special letter that we write to them as a surprise on their first day of college.  
Many thanks,

Hello to everyone at More Time Moms! 
My name is Pamela and I am a stay at home mom in Prince George British Columbia. I must tell you that I absolutely love this calendar. I just got the new calendar today and opened it up, I looked at the stickers first like I always do and saw the row of stickers "Mom's Time" and I was moved almost to tears. Thank You for making my time such an important enough event that you would make a sticker to remind me to fill my cup.
Yours most sincerely,
Pamela Belsham

 

Busy family schedules

Enjoy? I am a mother of six, a ten year old, a five year old, and four 1 year olds. Being that they were premature, we had a ton of doctors appts. all over the place for them this past year. Also, my 10 and 5 year olds had their lives too! From soccer and basketball practice and games to CCD and dance, and school events! I don't know what we would have done without your calendar! It got us where we needed to be when we needed to be there! I've had other Mom calendars, but I love this one the best!!!  Thank you for such a great product!!

I have been using the MTM's Calendar for several years. I have always struggled with organization and usually have 2 or 3 calendars/planners going at any given time.  I had even bought an expensive family member color coordinated "planning system" for next year from the local office supply store.  When I went online today to order my MTM for 2008, I saw all of your fabulous products - the agenda that matches the MTM format, the shopping lists, cookbook, etc. - and I am so thrilled!  Now, it is easy to use ONE format and have all of my planners coordinate so that I don't have to keep switching from one thing to the next.  WHEW!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  I am taking my new "planning system" back to the store today and I have ordered one of everything (I think!) from you.  I have a teenage daughter and your Girlfriend's calendar seems to be very appropriate for her busy lifestyle!  I might even order the refrigerator calendar so that when last minute things come up, each family member can add it to that on their own and I can transfer it as we adjust our schedules!!  Thank you again, you have truly outdone yourselves!
With a grateful heart,

"The More Time Moms Family Organizer is the best investment we have made in a long time! Our whole family can look and understand what is going on each day. With 2 busy young children with babysitters and two parents working, life gets hectic."

Makes a Great Gift

Thanks Joanne - we love the product.  It is a Christmas morning (not to mention EVERY morning) must have.  My wife loves it and I think it's a great gift.
Mike

I love your product.  I buy one every year for me and my daughter.  I have purchased the Family Organizer for house warming gifts, it is the best.  Thank you for the chance to donate to Kenya.
I am so proud of you,
Rita Jackson

Just a quick note to say thanks for another great calendar! This is the 7th year I have purchased one and I'm always so excited to receive it! As a mom of 2 very busy grade school kids and a new baby on the way I'm so thankful for the size and set up of thiswonderful art piece! I have it hanging on my kitchen wall where I can see it everyday and keep everything running smoothly. I love that it was created for moms by moms...it really shows. I tell everyone I can to order one for themselves. Again, thanks and I look forward to using my new calendar!
Sincerely,

Mary Jean Blaquiere

I just wanted to drop your company a line to let you know that I look forward to your calendar every year!!!  Let me tell you this calendar has every thing - I use this for my job - which I am a dayhome provider or 6-7 children, and I also use it for my daily life - If we lose this calendar we will lose everything!!! I love the Quotes and the recipes and try most of them and they are GREAT!!!!! ... AWESOME CALENDAR.

 

Room for everything and everyone

I have been using this calendar for about 5 years or so and since I starting using this calendar I have numerous family members and friends that have also started buying it as well.  This calendar has everything - enough space to write out daily events, b-days, special days - and the stickers are great - my daughter can not wait to put all the b-day stickers on our family birthdays and her special days at school. Please keep this calendar going - I just LOVE IT!!!
Thanks from a Mom, and Dayhome Provider

"I've used your calendar for the last three or four years and I want to tell you how much I love it! I really like how it starts in September, which as every Mom knows this is when the year really begins... Finally enough room for all my family's activities."
Anna Orsten

Hi there!
I have been an avid MTM calendar user for years!  It's the only calendar that holds all our stuff! Thank you!

Hi Everyone:
I discovered your calendar/organizer the first year it was on the market.  I bought the first one at Costco.  Now, I just order it online.  Our family haven't quite left home yet but just so everyone knows where Mom is and who will be around for dinner we continue using the organizer.  Even though we are 5 adults each person was designated years ago a felt pen color and you filled in your activities with that color.  Just one look and you could see who was doing what.  Well, we still use this system with a plumber, electrician, drywaller, warehouse tech and product consultant.  When my boys each get married, part of their Christmas present each year will be an organizer.  I love them and I know their wives will also.  Thank you Joanne for a fabulous idea.
Regards Deb Sabraw

Please send me another of your fabulous "More Time Moms" calendars for 2009. I'm not a mom - except to my 5 animals - but I use your extraordinary calendar for my own pet care business as well as my personal business.  I find it invaluable and frankly can't remember how I functioned before I found your calendar. I've been using it since 2005 and will continue to use it even if I am no longer in business.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Keep up the great work!

Family stickers that parents and kids appreciate.

My calendar arrived today and I'm once again really pleased with it.  This will be my fifth year and I can't imagine life without it.  My children are now 5 and almost 3 and they take a real interest in the little pictures and what is happening in the big picture, of course they eagerly await the special stickers for birthdays and parties.  The new stickers are terrific and my husband is thrilled he can stake out time for him.  We like the changes to the calendar format too, the bolder lines make the individual days stand out more and we love the different colours for the months. So once again thank you for the heart of my kitchen and my home.
Regards,
Lesley Darling

 

Empty nesters love it too!

I love your calendar... have been getting it since our four kids were little...
now we are empty nesters... still love it for the room.. and I have kept each calendar.. just a keepsake of how crazy our lives were!!
Mary Jean Blaquiere

Hi Joanne et Al; Just a note to let you know how much we rely on our More Time Moms Family Organizer...we couldn't survive without it...AND WE DON'T HAVE YOUNGSTERS @ HOME ANYMORE! However, my wife and I are very busy with many things...including medical appointments, meetings of various sorts, and my "Gigs" as an entertainer for Senior Citizens.... It's the best purchase, and maybe the most important one we make every August. My wife is an elementary school teacher (getting ready to retire in June)...and our "New Year" has always started in September (I am a retired educator, too.) So the 16 month calendar is a real benefit. Thanks too for the stickers... makes all those events, family stuff and general activity a lot easier to spot. And the big squares are great for these OLD eyes! ...We're looking forward to the next organizer.
Enjoy the summer.
Stan & Mary, Mississauga, Ontario

 

Recommending to friends: the finest compliment.

Thank you so much Teresa. This is one of the reasons that I love ordering from smaller companies, because of the personal touches. I absolutely love the calendar and because I have 12 week old twins I have so many appointments etc so already need extra stickers.  I have recommended this calendar to many of my friends and they love it as well.
Thanks again
Tricia

Hello,
Just wanted to say a couple of things. I absolutely love your calendar and I have been using it for many years. I have introduced it to a bunch of my girlfriends who now can't live without it. I would love to use your little helper but can't because I am left handed and it is extremely difficult for a left handed person to use a spiral bound book. There are a lot of us in the same situation and I was hoping you would think about us lefties and make one user friendly for us. Anyway, just a thought from one of your customer of many years.
Sincerely,
Yannick Mathisen in Canada.

 

LITTLE HELPER: PERSONAL ORGANIZER FOR MOMS

Hello Trish, I have been a customer of yours for several years now and LOVE your products.  I have tried everything else and nothing is as good as Mom's Little Helper for daily organizing.  The size is perfect and I love all the extra space for lists.  There's only one more thing that would make it utterly perfect.  I would love it if you could incorporate a little pocket somewhere.  Maybe on the inside of the back cover for those invitations your kid hands you while you are out and about or the friend's phone number that your kid got at school.  Even without the little pocket though, your product is the best!
Sincerely, Tamara Winer

I am loving the Little Helper, too.  The Little Helper has all sorts of really handy forms, such as "Vacation Plans"-- which I have never seen in any other planner, and it's terrific!!-- and "Bills to Pay".  What would be really helpful (to me and hopefully other Moms & Dads, too) would be to attach a "pocket" to the inside back cover.  That would allow me to "carry around" any holiday plane tickets or schedules, or sealed envelopes with bills inside. I know that suggestions from customers are more "food for thought" for you.  I really appreciate how thoughtful, friendly, and what great customer service you give.... It's great that you operate from my home province: "la belle province."  I wish you, your family and loved ones, and "More Time Moms" the best in 2008,  thanks again!
Anne Koenig

Just wanted you to know how much I love my "little helper" as it has everything in it I could possibly need to manage my family of 5 (3 active girls). I also wish there was a full blank lined page at the end of each month as I use that for my monthly grocery list.
Thank you, Deb Bernansky, Nova Scotia

"Thank you, That is the best "little idea" you have had in a long time. I have purchased your calendar for more years than I can remember and this little book is great...Thanks again for coming up with another great idea for moms."
Patti Dagrland

"First of all let me say that I love your first edition. I have only been using it for 2 weeks, but it has helped me finally to get organized. I no longer have 5 lists on the go. Looking forward to your second edition."
Simone Gouveia

"Hi this is Kim calling from Burton, New Brunswick. I am just calling to let you know that I just received my new More Time Moms Little Helper agenda. I just got it today by courier and I think it is fantastic. It looks like the best one yet, it has just the right amount of every thing. I write big and there is enough space for everything. I am so excited to get out my pens and my highlighters and get writing things in there.
Thank you, Kim Burton, New Brunswick"
A tip from Kim: "I use a different coloured pen and highlighter for each member of the family to make things even easier."

I have been using the planner for the last three years and I love it!  I especially like the 2009-10 year anniversary design.  It's a little more reserved and classy looking..great job!
I was flipping thru my 2008 planner before I put it away, and still pulled out a few unused yet handy lists...I love how the planner has strategically placed checklists based on the season.  Love the month at a glance option too. 
I am very picky with my planners...I must have a quote, and no French.  (not to be disrespectful, but I find bilingual distracting with the extra words.)  I have recommended your planner to family and friends.  Keep up the great work!
All the best,
Sue

 

GIRLFRIENDS LIFELINE: TEEN ORGANIZER SCHOOL CALENDAR

"I love my Girlfriends Calendar. It keeps me organized because it has lots of space and great stickers to keep track of my soccer games, fun school activities, movie nights, baby sitting jobs and all of my friends birthdays. Plus it looks cool hanging on my wall"
Tori McIntyre 
Age 13

This calendar is totally funky. I love it! I've been using your Girlfriend's Lifeline calendar all year. It helps me so much. I've been so organized I have time to hang around wih my friends and read a book. This is by far the best organizer I ever had. The things I loved were: Extra-extra space for each day, Funky stickers, Girlfriend hang out ideas, Doodle space, Reminders, Cool sayings, Funky cartoons.
Anya
Age 13

I started using the girlfriends calendar when I was 13 and still use it at age 21. It was fun for me because I would watch my mom organize our whole family's schedule on her family organizer and it encouraged me to do the same with my girlfriends organizer. All through out high school and college it has been great for organizing my studies, work schedule and time with my friends. It is so much easier to be proactive and get things done when I can see it every morning on my wall. The stickers are a life saver! Not only are they fun, but very practical for itemizing events in my schedule. Great for girls of all ages!!!
Jordan 
Age 21

"This calendar is so helpful for organizing my schedule. It's easier to visualize when papers are due, when I will be volunteering, and when my nights out will be. As a student, this calendar is my life."

"For someone like me who is usually disorganized, this calendar has helped me become a more organized person. The stickers are an added asset. After using this calendar, you will not be able to go back to your typical calendar!"

MORE TIME COOKS:  MEAL PLANNING COOKBOOK

Dear Folks,
We discovered and fell in love with your menu planner some years ago, and by following the normal carb sections for 18 months, in addition to lots of water and zero junk, I left obesity and regained fitness, losing 90 lbs over the period. My husband lost 25, while my son continued to grow wonderfully. We learned that the energy to add more activity to our lives came naturally as long as our daily meals and snacks provided the adequate nutrition and full flavour that we would otherwise seek in unhealthy, last-minute choices.

I was learning to cook for the first time in my life and just about every recipe was, as you said, healthy, delicious, and well-received by all, child and adult alike. Grocery shopping has become swift and lacking in stress, and we have kept clear of the over-packaged, over-processed food aisle now for many years, thanks to your planner. Fresh vegetables and fruit now overload the grocery cart, while boxes and bottles are minority dwellers there.

The last word goes to your salad dressings: the day we started your planner, we said good-bye to bottled dressings forever. I had no idea how quick a great fresh dressing could be, and now nothing less than fresh basil, lemon juice, great olive oil and some varied spices will do. My favourite kitchen tool has become, consequently, my small whisk, which is flourished every night over the salad bowl as it is set to the table.

I am not exaggerating when I say that you changed my family's lives, for the better, healthier, and tastier. We have used and reused this little book, and each meal is never disappointing. I've never found anything that compares to the standards of freshness, taste and variety, ease of preparation, and especially health-producing selections that appear in your book. Please, please write another one!
Slimmer, fitter, a whiz-at-the-dressings and gratefully yours,
Patricia Nolan

"I received More Time Cooks as a birthday present this summer and it is the best thing that ever happened to our family. Instead of standing over the freezer each night, wondering what to have for supper, I am now so well organized that even the kids know how to start the evening meal. The way you have organized the file is quick and easy and the shopping list is a godsend!... What fun! I have also found it cheaper to feed my family of four and there is a lot less waste. Cheers to a job well done."
Kelly McCaughey

"Somewhere over the years my kitchen got away from me and everyone was miserable at mealtime, especially me. Within three days of using your system, my husband actually grabbed my hand and kissed it...Bless you for a wonderful product."
Judy Mendel

"I love my MTM Cooks. Great meals with so little effort - and they're good for us too! My son (14 months) loves to eat and has eagerly devoured each meal. I just shred his portion and he is getting so much more nutritional value than if he was eating the "traditional" foods that children his age are fed. Thank you for such a great product. I'm looking forward to the new year so that my Little Helper can also simplify life! Thanks for your assistance in making me a happier Mom with more time on her hands than she knows what to do with."
Kimberley Smith

"It is wonderful, the food is great - but it's the organization that really gives you a break."
Laura Robin, Food editor, The Ottawa Citizen

"It's all in the cards...mealtime salvation for busy people."
The Toronto Sun

"A great idea whose time has come."
Vicky Gabereau

"More Time Cooks lives up to their billing...could be the culinary Trivial pursuit of the 1990's."
The Ottawa Citizen

 

FRIDGE NOTES  / MEMO FRIGO MAGNETIC CALENDAR

Hi there Joanne;

I was given the Fridge Notes Calendar as a Christmas gift last year and I LOVE it!

I usually received your Family Organizer Wall Calendar, which is also awesome; but now I have a little 2 year old who loves to be involved with everything Mommy and Daddy do. Having said that, at the end of each month we plan out for the next and she places all of the stickers in their respectful places. She loves the stickers and she loves the involvement of household planning.

I find the large squares just perfect for writing down everything from chores to appointments and bill payments. I love that it's right there on the fridge so there is no way to miss it.

In fact recently I have started using it for something totally new. If my little girl does something which is worth rewarding, good listening, use of manners, etc. she gets to place a special sticker (Tinker Bell stickers) on the square of the day. If she gets so many in a day we get an extra story at bedtime or maybe an extra special dessert.

Needless to say I absolutely LOVE this product.. (not to mention all of the others) It makes my daily life much more organized and the whole family can be involved and have fun at the same time.
Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks a bunch;
Shannon Wilson

I went on your website today for the first time, and I wanted to add my positive review for others to read:

As a stay-at-home mom of 3 young boys and the wife of a busy husband, I cannot thank you enough for your calendar! I bought my first one this year (2008) when it caught my eye in a calendar store. I have been THRILLED to finally have a calendar that has spaces big enough to fit all of our family's activities. From snack duty for preschool, to field trips, haircuts, and even when library books are due, IT ALL FITS!!! I am a visual list- maker, so having it on my fridge helps me stay organized on a daily basis, and I will never be without your calendar again--THANK YOU!
