Mead OrganizHer & Target GC {Spring Event Review & Giveaway #39}

Designed with busy moms in mind, Mead has introduced a new line of products known as OrganizHer sure to keep you on schedule, on track and organized! I wish I could say I didn’t need any help in this area but that is definitely not the case.  It is a constant struggle but I’m always open and excited about new ways in which to over come my organizational woes!

OrganizHer Products Include:

Customizable Solutions

Whether it’s a Shopping Companion to manage your “to-buys”, a Family Organizer for all your planning and scheduling needs, or an Expense Tracker, these OrganizHer products feature Tech Lock® technology – rings that open and close easily so you can add, subtract and customize with your own documents or free downloadable templates available at Mead.com

Calendars/Time Management

We know how hard it is to keep track of a family’s busy life, as well as what’s for dinner. With OrganizHer’s time management products like the Month-to-Month Family Wall Calendar and On-the-Go Family Planner, you can plan ahead while keeping today’s priorities in close view.

Meal Planning

Keep track of your shopping list and plan meals for the week ahead with OrganizHer’s convenient Write-n-Wipe Meal Center and Meal Planning Magnetic Notepad. Both products easily hang on a fridge for convenient access when and where you need it most.

On-the-Go Solutions

The portable sizes of OrganizHer’s On-the-Go Memo Book and Stay-in-Touch Address Book are perfect for a purse, briefcase or diaper bag, allowing you to take your planning anywhere!

My favorite product that I received is the Expandable file! With an amazing 21 pockets, this file allows me to easily drill down and find what I’m looking for quickly and easily. I love the pre-printed labels along with plenty of blank labels for me to customize based on our needs. Such labels as medical records, bank statements, school records and tax information are included. I added categories of my own such as home improvement, retirement, medical bills and car insurance. I’m honestly loving the idea of using this new system and am hopeful it will help me keep all my mail from just becoming clutter around my kitchen.

The Write ‘N Wipe Monthly, although very inexpensive at $4.99 was my least favorite product. I liked the idea of a smaller wipe board calendar for my fridge but found it to be much to small to write. This is partly due to the larger tip pen that is included. Because it isn’t a fine enough point, I’m even more limited by what I can fit. It has space for “all you”, “all them” activities and “chow” for meals.  Because my boys are small there is rarely an “all them” kind of activity so I simply used both the spaces to have more room to write when appropriate. This wipes off clean but I’ll be looking in the stores for a more appropriate pen!

If you are looking for a more detailed family calendar for your refrigerator, I would recommend the Magnetic Calendar Center instead. While it is much larger in size, it is much easier to use, read and you can include much more detail!

Overall, I’m very pleased with the OrganizHer products I’ve received and am excited about the prospect of being more organized. And really, what is not to love about these fabulously chic designs? Here are a couple of closeup shots so you can see what I mean!
