Truly Mom

I always tell myself I need to get organized, and now I'm getting organized in style thanks to my new planner courtesy of Truly Mom.

According to the website, this is the story of how Truly Mom began: "Kim, Maria, and I (Michelle) were friends when cancer put my life into turmoil and me into a wheelchair. Along with my sister, Kristin, they stood by me through my treatment…During that time, they too were going through their own life struggles-at some point I guess every mom does…When I finally got back on my feet, the four of us simply wanted to find a better way to appreciate the small joys that we get out of each day by making the entire harried part of the day just a little less complicated. We think we may have done just that. We’ve created a smart and stylish tri-fold planner…It’s streamlined to be just what you need… a mini-portable desk to help you organize your time in the simplest, most efficient way possible.”

I received Truly Mom’s stylish Aqua Microsatin Planner (ARV $60) just a few days ago and immediately started using it. The fun and bright colors make me want to open up the planner often and stay organized. I love the different components of the planner—it comes with a weekly/monthly 2009 calendar, notepads entitled my day, my list, and a note to, a remember this sticky note pad, as well as an address book, pen, and cute stickers. The planner is made with a unique tri-fold design and it has a hidden magnetic closure to keep things secure.

I think it's great how the notepads are secured by elastic holders both on the top and on the bottom. Often times, just through normal use, sheets get loose and they simply fall off the pads, but with the elastic holders, no more loose sheets!

The planner's pocket, which holds the address book, can also hold other important notes, business cards, or coupons.

Truly Mom also offers other planner accessories (e.g. clips, gift lists, etc.), as well as many other cool and fun products, such as personalized stationery, invitations, gift wrap, and even chic totes!

Although I do have to get used to the Monday through Sunday format of the calendar, I truly love my Truly Mom planner. It’s sturdy, stylish, fun and functional, and it has helped me stay organized and on top of things so I really can spend more time being truly a mom.
