Save on your 2011 Motivated Mom’s Planner! Coupon available and a giveaway on my latest Motivated Mom’s Post!
I absolutely love the Motivated Moms 2010 Planner. For the past 16 years my family has struggled to stay on top of the chores. It seems like if we miss one weekly cleaning our house looks like this:
With nine people it doesn’t take much for the house to go from good to really, really bad.
Last year I found a solution to my cleaning dilemma. The Motivated Moms Planner. There are very few things that I think every homemaker (and working mom) must have, and this is one of them!
The Motivated Moms Planner is a year long planner that helps keep me organized and on top of daily activities. I use the Motivated Moms one week on each page planner. I print out each week and we all mark our names on the chores we are tackling each week. The chores are broken down into easy to accomplish tasks that take a short amount of time each day.
A example of a daily chores list from the planner:
- Inventory refrigerator contents and plan meals around leftovers
- Vacuum main/public rooms or 1st floor
- De-clutter/organize desk
- Dust office
- Clean toilets
- Replenish stock of toilet paper in bathrooms
My younger children are able to replace toilet paper, dust, and vacuum. My older kids can clean the toilets, which leaves me with inventory the fridge and de-clutter the desk. Our daily chores are finished in under 30 minutes.
If you diligently complete each day’s chores you end up with a super organized, clutter free, and clean home! I used this last year until I moved and I totally regret not starting back up in the new house. We spent most of our Saturdays plugging away at the cleaning… not fun!
The best part about this planner is that it is only eight dollars! I think that is a great deal for something that saves me hours each week and keeps my house organized!
If you want to see a sample page you can view it here. They have many different planner styles ranging from a page per day to a page per week. I like the page per week style, but every style is only eight dollars. You can visit their site to view all the different planner styles.
The folks at Motivated Moms have given me a coupon code to share with you. You can save $1 on your order by entering the code NEWYEAR. This code is good until January 14th 2010.
Just downloaded this! This is awesome!!! Thanks for sharing!
Just ordered & downloaded it.
This is a practical answer to my prayer for this year…
Thank You, Jesus!
And, so thankful to you for your blog & many, many ideas!
Whoa–this looks interesting! Maybe, perhaps it could help me stay organized too?
I think I need this!
I’ve used this for 3 years now and LOVE it! When I slack off, it shows immediately! I’ve even purchased it for a few dear friends (who I know were blessed and definitely NOT offended) and they have enjoyed her simple, effective, and practical approach as well!
BTW, my favorite “chore” she lists makes me laugh each time because this mama forgets it all the time: trimming children’s nails! LOL!
The chair in the pic looks like my “hot spot” chair in our bedroom! I could really use this organizing system.
Thanks for the link! I just downloaded the full size and am going to get to work on it immediately.
Thank you for this! I really need this. So simple. I just downloaded and printed the full size with the Bible verses! My mood is lifted already!
Oh no! I went and downloaded it this weekend after your “goals” post! Oh well. It looks great. We’re staying in a hotel waiting for home repairs to be finished but I’m excited to get going. I think this is going to be great as I am a rule follower…just tell me what to do, and I’ll do it, but left to my own volition, nothing will get done! Thanks for the tip!
Thank you so much for reccomending this. My husband and I are really working to just organize our lives. We both work outside the home so it gets very crazy at times. Also on a side note I just wanted to let you know that I learned of Dave Ramsey from stumbling upon you site one day. I think you talk about him on your about me page. Anyway, we bought the book and I swear my whole mindset has changed with money. For the first time ever we put a budget together and are diligently working towards finacial fitness! I love your blog!
Hiya,
Love your Blog and I look forward to stopping by again soon!
Ok..you are the 2nd or 3rd person who has mentioned this. I tried to make my own version a couple weeks ago, and have yet to get it right…so WHY did I try to re-invent the wheel when THIS was here?!?!
Thanks so much for the reminder and the coupon code!!!!!!
I totally agree, when I first saw it I thought, I can make this…. well, why would I bother since they do such a great job and it is so inexpensive! It would take me hours to make a similar chore planner!

My friend and I just started using The Motivated Mom calander. WE LOVE IT!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing it.
I guess this is a strange question but
does it come with info on the calendar or do I add my own list of things to do.?
Thanks
Marian
But what if I’m not motivated????? Just kidding. This is great. It amazes me how 3 people can make such a mess of a house. Of course I should say 2 because I NEVER mess anything up. Did that sound convincing?
All I can say is this is PERFECT for me! Thanks!
just downloaded it! Thanks for the coupon code. I can never get to those little things to keep a house tidy and have been doing a major clean on Saturdays. Hope this will get us back on track
Thanks!
This is something I need! What an answer to my prayers!
My husband and I were just talking about trying to find something like this to keep us on task around the house. With 3 preschoolers and a baby on the way if it’s not written down in front of me it doesn’t get done! Thanks for letting us know about this I’m looking forward to trying it!
I’m buying this! thank you for the tip. I’ll have so many hours of procrastination avoided by having this.
I love that they have reading to children as a DAILY thing. I am passionate about reading good books to children!
I may be the only one here, but I have a rebellious side that would keep me from doing some of these things just because I’d feel like I was being ‘told’ to do it! LOL Seems great for ‘normal’ people, though!
I understand what you are saying. I just figure the stuff needs to get done, so either I spend time making up lists or I have someone do it for me. I chose option #2, lol.
Keeping on top of all the cleaning is by far my greatest weakness. It gets to overwhleming too quickly and I feel like why bother? However, I just downloaded a copy of this and am hoping that this will help me to stay on track. My husband thanks you for sharing this…as do I!
Toni are they all the same except the ones with bible readings? I am trying to decide which one to get?
Brilliant! What a fantastic way to keep on top of everything!
Thanks for sharing this! I printed out & followed some of the sample pages for the past couple weeks. Last week was the last sample week she had, so I downloaded the whole thing today. It has been great!
My 4-year old actually loves looking at the list & helping to check things off. Restocking toilet paper is her new chore now.
