Fab Find Fridays features items that are Rebecca Approved and Beloved. Basically, it is like a weekly Oprah’s Favorite Things without the unlimited disposable income and probably no car giveaways. And hey now that Oprah is retiring or whatever, maybe my Fab Find Fridays can take over!!! For previous Fab Finds, click here.
Every summer before school started, I had to buy a brand new dayplanner for the new school year. I would spend an entire day meticulously writing in vacations and other important events. Then once school started and I had my syllabus in hand, exam dates and major project due dates were written into the dayplanner. My life revolved around those spiral bound calendars.
And little has changed since I finished school: my life still revolves a dayplanner. It took me a awhile to find one I loved but when I bought a myAgenda by momAgenda a while back, I had found the dayplanner that I knew I would use forever.
I love the myAgenda because it allows you to separate your daily events by categories (Moms would likely separate their daily events by kids). Each day has four separate spaces: I use one for appointments, one for workout scheduling, one for blogging tasks, and one for special projects.
And I love the sparkly covers. And that it is not spiral-bound.
Unfortunately, this all changed when I became an iPad addict in May. My iPad goes with me everywhere all the time. Carrying my iPad and my myAgenda book was just too much. And in that battle of things I love, the iPad won. I started looking for dayplanner apps for my iPad and found none that I loved or even liked. I know some people are crazy-go-nuts about Google calendar but I am not one of them.
Therefore, you have no idea how excited I was selected by the wonderful people at momAgenda to test the new iPad app momAgenda has created.
So cool! I love having all of the functionality of the myAgenda right on my iPad. It keeps me sooo organized.
I love that the weather forecast is displayed by each day. (And the fun little inspirational quotes at the top.)
If you are a mom, you can create a special row for each family member. I have altered this function to fit my needs by making my “family members” the categories that I schedule by.
I also love that I can have reminders for events texted to me.
There are a few features I wish the momAgenda iPad app had (and maybe it does and I just have not figured them out yet):
- I wish that I did not have to enter a start/end time for each entry on the calendar. Most of the time, things I need to do or be reminded of do not have a specific time. Like I wanted to put a Labor Day marking on September 6th but had to associate a start time with it.
- Okay, purely superficial but I wish there was a choice to have the myAgenda app instead of the momAgenda. I always feel weird when I open the app in front of someone and the big momAgenda screen pops up and I definitely not a Mom.
- I miss the sparkly cover. A lot.
The momAgenda iPad app is available on iTunes for $4.99. Check it out! I love love love it!
