Are you feeling organised for school, yet? Maybe your kids have gone back already, or if you’re in NSW like me, today’s the big day. I spent all of yesterday, madly running around, making sure everything was ready for my daughter’s first day back at school. Talk about stressful!
To help make life much easier, Inner B is giving one lucky reader the Mum Organiser, in fushia pink.
I’ve actually had a look over this gorgeous diary, and I’m so impressed. It costs $44.95, and can be easily customised according to your family life. You can store your appointments, to do list, birthdays and anniversaries. It has a unique format which allows you to plan all of your family’s activities. It has a section for you to write in all the important things, such as details for your children’s dentist, local pharmacy, GP, local hospital, and whatever else you need regularly.
Inner B always makes sure to remember mum too, though. The Mum Organiser therefore also has a personal well being contacts section for you to keep your physio, hair dresser, massage therapist, and all those other contacts that make our lives more manageable.
Then, it has a household contact information page, for pretty much everything; local council, your accountant, electrician, gas, water, internet providers, and so on. As if that weren’t enough, there’s space for your entertaining contacts, your brilliant ideas (come on, we’re mothers! We have ‘em all the time!), things you want to do and places to visit, your dilemmas, goals, health and fitness ideas, favourite websites and passwords, must read books, must see movies, must listen to music, favourite restaurants, retail stores you like, items borrowed and lent, phew! (This is reminding me of that ‘I’ve been everywhere, man’ song!)
And then, there’s family medical information, current immunisation schedule, dates to remember, (eg, check fire extinguishers, torch batteries, all that practical stuff we all get caught out on), kids’ favourite activities and it even has holiday and party planning sections, with checklists and all. Bloody hell. Pretty much all it doesn’t do is wipe your butt for you!
What I also love about this organiser is that it looks so cool. It comes in four different colours: fushia (shown here), butter, lime green and the most popular colour of them all, turquoise Tiffany Blue. You can also buy refills for it every year too.
So, here’s what you have to do if you want to win this baby:
First entry (both actions mandatory):
- Go to Inner B and tell us which Inner B product would help you to get organised the most, in the comment section.
- Sign up for email updates from Hear Mum Roar. If you already are signed up, that’s fine. And yes, I do check!
Optional entries (one extra entry per action):
- Follow Hear Mum Roar on twitter.
- Subscribe to Hear Mum Roar’s RSS feed.
- Tweet this giveaway.
- Follow Inner B on twitter.
If you have extra entries, please mention in the comments box below what you did, so I can check. Thanks!
The lucky winner will be drawn on Sunday, the 6th of February, 2011 and is open to Australians only.
Good luck, people!
Update:
I ended up deciding to buy some goodies from Inner-B for myself. Since Diminishing Lucy was interested in seeing what the Tiffany blue mum organiser looks like, I thought I’d share the photos of my purchases here, as the Tiffany blue was my favourite colour, too. I also bought the completely AWESOME meal planner. It’s magnetic and fits really well on the fridge. Each meal square is a cute little magnetic tile. The kids have been going stir crazy choosing meals, because they love sticking the pieces on. Valerie was kind enough to send me the planner notepads (meal planner and daily planner) just to be nice. I’ve got to say, I’m very impressed. I’m not the most organised person in the world, and all this stuff has been a godsend.
Other reading:












For me it would be the Mum Organiser. With one starting prep this year, two at high school, another starting Uni and me getting accepted to Uni, I’m going to need a planner that is easy for me and everyone else to make sense of.

Hi Sharon – all entered – all followed, sogned up for, retweeted etc etc! I am a huge fan of these organisers – it’s a shame the new Turquoise Blue isn’t shown – I suspect that’d be my colour!
I think it’d be my fave too, Lucy:)

Lucy, I ended up buying the Tiffany Blue myself, and I’ve added it into the post above to show you how cute it looks:)
Defiantely the Mum organiser. i have an autistic son & I have bone problems. So between the 2 of us we have lots of specialist appointments. The pockets are great for me to place those medicare receipts to be claimed, so I don’t lose them in my handbag.
Chantelle, it can be so hard to keep track of lots of appointments, can’t it?

I think the Mum Organiser would be a great help! With 5 kids, there’s always things going on and the organiser would make it a little easier to remember things! I also noticed that there is a Christmas Compendium that hasn’t been linked yet. Being a Christmas nut, this would be great too!

For me the Mum organiser hands down …… although I am quite interested in the Sleeping and Feeding Journal for my sister, and I may just decide to get that for her for when the latest bump makes its appearance. I am not sure if I get email updates, so I just signed up anyway.
Dani, I was surprised at how inexpensive the sleep and feeding journal is:) Congrats on your sister’s new pregnancy

The Mum Organiser for sure! Once we move the girls will be doing day care, dance, swimming… among other things. The Weekly Planner looks great, too though.

I’d probably buy the meal planner notepad thingy – something I keep meaning to start doing.
How did school going back go? Amy starts on the 16th and I’m freaking out a bit. Very disorganised, I’m sure I’m going to forget everything.
Veronica´s last post ..How to have a perfectly rotten day
It went well, Veronica:) She’s so happy to be able to boast that she’s in year 5. Of course, we forgot lead pencils, doh! They were out of stock at Big W, and when we went to other shops, we forgot to get them there. I’m a bit annoyed though, because they’re already expecting swimming lesson money to be handed in today before they start tomorrow. I find that pretty rude and inconsiderate, but hey, other than that, all went well.

What an awesome giveaway!
I’d love the Mum Organiser, my entire life in one attractive spot! I’d also buy the Daily Planner (I hope I got that name right) because I am a little OCD about to-do lists and keeping them all together like that might help more of them become to-done! I also like that it fits into the back of the Mum Organiser as well, perfect combination for family and work.
I’m just going to sign up for your email updates now. I’m pretty sure I’ve got the rss feeds but if not will do that too.
Thanks so much, Kelli:)

I like the ‘Magnetic Weekly Planner ‘. I’m a very organised (and visual) person and I like to have a good view on how my week(s) look like.
I’m a bit the same, Cyndie:)
Hear Mum Roar´s last post ..Coloured Window Art
The weekly planner looks like it would be so great, with a newborn I am finding I am having trouble remembering all the things I need to do, like pay bills and make sure I get my daughter to her dance classes, so this would be really good for me. I like the Babysitting notepad it looks really handy too, I would really like to have some time for hubby and myself and this would give me some piece of mind when leaving the kids with a babysitter for the first time.
I am also subscribed by email, have been for a while
Congrats on the birth of your new bubby, Kym:) Sounds like a busy time. I want the babysitter notepad too, and a babysitter:P

Love the Mum organiser and also the pregnancy organiser. Currently pregnant with bub #2 and have a 19 month old girl already. What with play dates, family commitments, work stuff, pregnancy appointments etc – I could use both of these!
Love your blog, this is my first visit

I’m glad you like my blog, Marissa:) Welcome! I’m so impressed that someone has even thought to create a pregnancy organiser, this would’ve be so useful when I was pregnant
Definately LOVE and need a Mums Organiser! My oldest has just started Prep and I have two other littlies who are 3yrs and the other 10months AND a hubby is about to be deployed with the ADF for 6 months!
So a busy 6months for this solo flying Prep Mummy (whose hubby usually organises all the finances!)

Oh that Mum Organiser looks fabulous! I think we are in desperate need for something like that around here! So helpful for keeping track of all the appointments a baby, a diabetic 11 yo and a PhD student has. As well as everything else that needs to be done!

I love the Mum-Organiser. Especially since it has the Aus/NZ school holidays dates in there! Handy to know when you don’t have to send them to school and when the ‘torture’ ends…hehehehe…
LOL, Norlin! So true

I would absolutely love the Mum Organiser in turquoise. No luck finding refills for my current organiser…it was a Christmas present, and is not a standard size
