A Do It All Mom Planner by Orange Circle Studio Review, and, no, I'm still a Filofax Freak

While strolling through Target the other day I spied this in the clearance section for $4.98 USD (50% off) and  I snapped one up to share here with you all. I have liked Orange Circle Studio's calendars previously for their layout, organization, and stickers. It's size closed is 5 3/4" x 8 3/4". Open, well, you can do the math.  And, I will happily pass this one on to a reader that thinks, "I need that! " I have too many planners floating around here as it is. But this one is just so cute!

Love the retro-ish cover. And the storage pocket as well!

4-color stickers! 

Another sheet of stickers! I love stickers. Yes, I have a five-year-old side, apparently.

Helpful introductory pages. Alas, the monthlies lack tabs. Love the month on ONE page, though!

 The paper is a nice weight IMHO but I don't have a fountain pen to use to put it to the test. Um, Philofaxy pen fiends--need you now! The paper actually reminds me more of Erin Condren and less of Filofax. Yes, it's that nice.


The weekly layout features a mom-inspiring quote and space for Mom's and four other family members' schedules. I like that Mom gets pole position on the layout. But that's just me.

After the weekly spreads there is a 2013 holiday list and the start of information pages such as Mom's, kids', and emergency/medical contacts, services, and 6 lined notes pages.

A fun detail in this planner that I have seen elsewhere is a section with perforated shopping and to-do lists.

It has three slots at the back for card storage

The back of the planner. Run, Forest, run!

Overall, a highly portable, attractive planner with room to track lots of information, fun use of color, and lovely paper quality. If they made this unpunched I would buy it, punch holes, and make it at home in an A5 binder. Seriously. It actually has a personality unlike some other, ahem, inserts. And, no one is paying me to write this. You're welcome, Orange Circle Studio. :)



And for my non-Mom readers they do carry another planner, see? Similar layout, different stickers, quotes, contact pages...will post more pics later.

Thanks for reading! If you're interested in adopting it please let me know.
