Welcome to our new weekly section - MacKid Rockville Picks. I spend hours every week checking out cool and useful products and places that I think you, my wonderful readers, might like. Be sure to check this section for our Pick of the Week where we will share our favorites with you. Sometimes, we will also offer giveaways and discount codes. I should note that some weeks the product(s) highlighted will be aimed at kids, but other weeks, be on the lookout for items just for moms and dads...so even if this week's pick isn't for you, keep checking back every week.
This week, I'd like to tell you about Dotmine Day Planners! Dotmine day planners was founded by Lisa Edwars and Sara Nicoli, two moms who traded the corporate life for the enterpreneurial world. So why do I like Dotmine Planners so much...read on
I had stopped using day planners and was relying solely on my blackberry until it crashed and I lost all my contacts, calendar entries and more just a few weeks ago. After this horrible experience, I decided it was time to keep track of everything on paper and stop relying solely on technology. I still use my blackberry, but now I write all the important stuff down just in case. For my needs, I want a quick and simple planner that keeps the important information at my fingertips...Enter Dotmine...
Dotmine planners are very affordable at $20 or less and are available online and at Borders Books. I think the Dotmine Day Planners would make great gifts for both parents and high school and college students. Each Dotmine Day Planner covers 17 months, and open flat (a big plus in my book!). They each have daily, weekly and monthly views, along with room for notes and tear-off margins for lists. One of my favorite unique features is the fold out lists in the front. The three lines offered are: family_time.mine®, for moms; life_time.mine®, blending work and family life; and time.mine®, for the individual or student.
This week, we are giving away a Dotmine Life_Time.Mine Planner.
