Busy Body Book Review & Giveaway CLOSED

Have you heard of Busy Body Book? Its the PERFECT personal organizer & calendar for Moms. Busy Body Book (or BBB) is the perfect-sized organizer and calendar that's packed chock full of useful, keep-you-on-track stuff. When you open the book to any week, here's what you'll see...



On the left-hand page, you've got "To Doodles" and a handy list. At the bottom, you've got a tiny view of three calendar months (the previous month, current month, and next month). I typically LIVE by Post-It Notes. I hate all the waste created by them, and I hate not being able to keep track of anything in an organized fashion. Don't get me wrong, Post-It's are great for some things, but a family organizer is NOT one of them. : ) The creator of the BBB was totally thinking of Moms like me when she added the To Doodles page in. I cover them with all kinds of ideas I have for TCC, projects I want to do, people I need to call, etc. Its wonderful!

On the right-hand page, you'll find five individual spacious columns that are all ready to go for you to label with members of your family, goals you've got, classes you're taking, whatever! The possibilities are endless with BBB, because you make it your own!



One of my favorite features of the BBB is the size. (Not what you were expecting, huh?) I find most personal organizers to be too small or too big, too bulky or too flimsy. I just can't seem to find one that I feel like will actually be useful, helpful, and durable enough to last me a whole year. BBB is perfectly-sized at 7" x 10" and its got everything I need inside (spacious pages, room to jot stuff down, etc.) and nothing I don't (a 2013 calendar...sorry, I don't even think ahead to tomorrow, much less to 2013). In addition, BBB has durable plastic covers over both beautiful covers, so I know its "built to last."

Speaking of the covers, how adorable is this pattern?

And each cover has a pocket for stuffing stuff you don't want to lose (genius!) and the BBB comes with a bookmark in the same pattern as the cover so you can always find the current week easily. I know you're probably thinking that BBB is the most perfect organizer ever, but wait...it gets better! BBB comes with perforated shopping lists that you can tear out and take with you, month calendar grids, pages for jotting down notes, important dates, and an emergency contact page, too!

I am absolutely LOVING the organization the BBB has given me. To be completely honest, I find that my days are less stressful now, because I have everything we need to do, everywhere we need to go, and everything I need to accomplish written down in black and white in front of me. I don't worry about forgetting to be somewhere on time or forgetting to call someone back. That card for So-and-So's Birthday? No longer forgotten because I wrote myself a note in the BBB. The Busy Body Book is a must-have for any Mom, Business Mom, or Student! (And don't forget Dad's either....they'd LOVE the BBB!)

Personal Organizer not your style? No problem! BBB has a whole line of awesome, personalize-it-yourself products. There's the 7-Column UnDated Weekly Grid Pad...

...and the Busy Body Book Wall Calendar!

I'm totally loving the wall calendar, but for me, I need something portable...that can go everywhere with me. The original Busy Body Book is just the ticket. : ) And just look at all these cover designs...you're sure to find one you like!
