Can You Pencil Me In?

This
Manic Monday has me all inspired to start thinking about the new school year. A
new school year means new classes, new friends, new activities—and a slew of
new parties, appointments, meetings and practices to keep track of. If only
there were a stylish way to stay organized… If only… —


For
busy families who need their hectic schedules all in one place, the Blue Sky Home Series offers charming personal
organizers that give you the materials needed to keep things straight—without the
annoying bells and whistles of electronic organizers. Each product was designed
after consulting with busy mothers to find out what they wanted and needed to
manage the details of their daily lives.

The
weekly/monthly
planners
feature wide, colorful pages, checklists and home organizing pages.
For the visual organizers among us, Blue Sky offers color-coded options. The Multi-Task
Notebook
is broken up into six color-coded sections to organize to-do
lists. Use blue for birthday parties and social events, green for grocery
lists, and red for regular appointments and obligations. If you need to stay
organized by family member, the color-coded Family Calendar allows you to do
just that. Let your kids pick what color they want their appointments to be and
teach them an early lesson in Type-A organization while you’re at it!

Each Blue Sky
Home product is cleanly designed with simple flowers, stripes or solid colors.
Choose from warm or cool color schemes. Best of all, the products are all under
10 bucks so you won’t pay a hefty price for organized style. Better yet, New York Family is giving away two sets
each of Blue Sky’s family calendar, school year pocket calendar, door notes and
mouse pad. To enter this giveaway, send us an email explaining why you’d like
to win: [email protected] and put “Blue Sky” in the subject line. Be sure to
include your contact info, including address. Deadline to enter is Friday, September
2.

Here’s to a year
of super-organized chaos!
