Link Love: momAgenda

Hello.  My name is MamaSheppard.  And I am addicted to planners.  Actually, it's even worse than that -- I'm addicted to blank paper.  I have a terrible condition in which, anytime I see a blank piece of paper, I have an urge to write on it.  Notes, thoughts, story ideas, article ideas, reminders, appointments, lists.  Anything and everything.  It's bad.  Papa Sheppard often complains that there's never any blank paper around for him to jot down his notes.

I've recently become aware of a beautiful product called momAgenda, specifically designed for the busy moms out there.  They are coil bound and big, designed to keep tabs on all your weekly events and escapades.

Ooooo, coil-bound!  :)

In a very functional twist, they're actually designed to record the schedules of Mom and up to four children seperately.  This is really ideal, especially for those of us who like to record the things our children do.  I can see myself recording Little Sheep's daily accomplishments (when she rolled, when she smiled, etc.) in here, along with her appointments, play dates, visits with family, and anything else that we get lined up.  

They come in three beautiful colors.  My own personal favorite is turquoise.  But there's also a zebra-striped, which seems to be coming back in style for baby accessories.  You know what I do like, though?  There isn't a black.  I really like that.  And I love black.  But it's awesome that they only come in fun, bright colors, rather than look like every other agenda out there and be boring, basic black, all day long.

Tabbies too!

For those who are a little more tree-friendly, there is also a momAgenda app for the iPad (but not for iPhone? *tear*), which looks pretty functional.  Although then you don't get the neat zebra-striped  cover.  Unless you have one on your iPad.  

Currently, there is a contest going on via NaturalMommie's daily blog.  To enter, scroll down to the bottom and choose your method of entry.  There's lots of ways to enter, which is excellent -- this gives more people the opportunity to enter, rather than just restricting it to Twitter users, Facebook users, or those who subscribe to the email listing.  I like the openmindedness.  

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have about fifteen different things I have to write down.  Gotta go dig up some scrap paper.
