Dotmine Day Planner Review & Giveaway

Dotmine day plannersI recently received a Pink Tie Dye Family_Time.Mine day planner and am very pleased with it.  The first and most important feature, to me at least, is the durable plastic cover.  What good is a day planner if someone spills milk on it and ruins it?  The plastic cover gives the Family_Time.Mine day planner that extra durability a mom’s planner needs.  Dotmine’s Family_Time.Mine day planner features one week per page giving me lots of space to write important events and notes for every day of the week.  The page margins are really nice too as they give me lots more room to write random notes and reminders.

Dotmine Day Planner

Dotmine day planner features:

  • Size – It is a good size for keeping on your desk
  • Storage – It has a pocket in the back
  • Durable – It has a durable plastic cover to protect it from spills (you know what I’m talking about Moms!)
  • Views – It has daily, weekly and monthly views, room for notes and for tracking the entire family, and tear-off margins for lists
  • Style – 20+ elegant, fun and sometimes funky covers each year

Dotmine day planners have specialized pages for phone numbers, babysitter information, and notes.
One of my other favorite features of the Family_Time.Mine day planner is the stickers.  I love having a visual, colorful reminder of important events like doctor’s appointments, recitals, and birthdays.  The Pink Tie Dye Family_Time.Mine planner comes with plenty of sticks that should keep you covered for a year.
