2020 Amy Knapp Christian Family Organizer

I absolutely LOVE this planner. I have been using it since it was first available, I think since 1987 or 88? I won't use any other - I've looked at them, but always go back to this one. It has everything you need to keep your days, plans, activities, appointments, lists, events, shopping, projects, etc all in one convenient place and easy to take along everywhere I go. On two occasions I thought I had lost it and I was a basket case until I could have it in my possession again.I understand what other reviews are saying about the extra pages for the 17-month style, but what I have done is take the pages I don't need and cover them with copy paper. I can then use them as extra planning pages for projects, goals, party planning, extra lists (I'm a list maker) - anything you want, so they aren't a waste if you cover them and reuse them in other ways. I always need more space. And I also agree - including a set of monthly tabs would be terrific; I always have to buy some to put on the monthly calendar pages.I truly love that you have the Christian version with the Scriptures and space for prayers. I used the original one for many years and just added my prayers around the edges of each page. Last year I tried the one with more art, goal bubbles, space for reflections, etc, and it's nice and it did make me stop and think and reflect more, so that was a good thing. I guess I just like what I'm used to and find my planner becomes a journal of my life no matter what. I have saved them all and will take a look at them every once in a while to see how life has progressed and the difference from when I had kids at home and now while I'm retired. Like I said, it is THE BEST planner/journal I have ever used and will always use. Thank you for designing this and keeping it available. God bless your efforts, business and days ahead.

I have purchased this planner for several years now. I like the features on the weekly pages including the menu column and the prayer & praise area. It helps keep me on track. I even use the stickers provided to make important things stand out. I mark the current month/week with a paperclip so I can easily find it. If you are needing something to help keep you and your family organized, this is the planner for you.

There are several features that I love about this planner. The menu list, the grocery list, the Bible verse, areas/ spaces for notes, and the stickers all make for an easy to use and efficient planner. It is a good size that fits into my "Mom Bag". I have been using this planner for years, and look forward to purchasing it each summer. I am a single Mom to three, and find it is able to accommodate our needs well.The only thing I would improve about this planner is perhaps changing the material of the cover to plastic or vinyl. The paper cover tends to rip as we get close to the end of the year, but overall, it's a minor issue considering how many times it is opened and closed on a daily basis.

I have been using this planner for quite a few years now. The new one is already in my cart. The organization of this planner is good. My favorite by far. I've tried a few others and always go back to this one. The different sections are great for keeping in mind what is needed and important.It would be nice if perhaps the grocery list was another section where you could tear it off. Perhaps a page that has 6 tearable pieces so you can use both sides. It would fit nice in your wallet.It would also be nice to have some line on the day section. Just to keep it looking nice and neat when writing things for the day. That's the OCD in me on that.The 18 month format is okay, but just a 12 month would be fine. Otherwise I feel like I'm wasting 1/3 of the book when I first get it and/or wasting 1/3 of the last years book by not finishing the end.

I bought this planner in hopes it would be everything I had wanted and more. It has a grocery list space that is perforated but it takes out part of the calendar when you rip it out. It's also a little small for writing in. And I really wish it was hardcovered. Overall it's okay but I don't think it's really any better than one you could buy from Walmart.

Love this planner / calendar! It’s my 4th year getting an Amy Knapp planner now, I love them!

I was looking forward to this planner to keep my life organized all in one place. We currently have one note pad for to-do lists and one for groceries on top of a planner. This planner seemed like it would streamline everything.However, when I got it and scrolled through, I noticed a design flaw that makes it impractical for us. The most important page in a planner for our family is the monthly view page. It gives us a bird's eye view of everything on for that month. The problem with this planner is the perforations for the grocery list actually removes part of the monthly calendar. So, in order to use it practically, you would have to use grocery list pages from previous months so you don't destroy the monthly overlook.That's just not going to work for us. In addition, it seems exceptionally thick and heavy, definitely not a "stick it in your purse" type of planner.It's cute and has a bunch of stickers to mark meetings and such. Also has a great section in the back for babysitters and things like that. I almost kept it because of that, but ultimately decided to add it to our donation pile and take it to the local thrift store. Perhaps it will work well for someone who doesn't rely on the monthly calendar page.

I have been using this calendar since 2012. I like being able to have my grocery lists, to do lists,meal plans and appointments all in the same place. It makes life so much easier for me. Plus I have a record of lists or meals from previous years that I can go back and check out. You won’t go wrong purchasing this calendar.

I put in the search 8.5 X 11 size calendar and this one came up...so I assumed it would be that size but it's like maybe 6×8...not enough space to write what I needed it for. So I didn't read it so that's on me, but the design, colors, and it well made if that is thr size your looking for.

I love this planner. From the menu options to my to do list to my devotionals notes. Only thing is I wish it was bigger for me to have more space to writes in the dates, but other then that, it's one of the best planners I've ever owned

I have bought this planner every year for over 15 years. The paper quality for this current year is awful. the pages tear on the perforated lines. Every time I open the planner, another page tears away. The paper quality is flimsy. I am so disappointed, that I'm purchasing a different planner to finish out the year.
