House of Doolittle Business Planner and 2014 Desktop Calendar

Don’t you just love it when you start all over again!  That’s how I feel every single year.  One thing I must have to start every New Year are brand new calendars.  Therefore, when Shoplet sent me a House of Doolittle Business Planner and a House of Doolittle 2014 Desktop Calendar I was extremely excited! 

The House of Doolittle Business Planner is 7 x 10 which is a tiny bit bigger than the size I used last year.  I think I’m going to like the increased size though.

  It is bound with wire which had me a bit concerned when I first saw it.  I usually end up getting the ends caught on something which totally ruins my planner.  However, this planner’s binding will probably not catch because both ends of the wire are located in the back of the planner, and they are relatively short.   Each week is represented on two pages that lay flat for easy note-taking.  The day starts with 8:00 and ends at 5:00.  I wish that it would have started at 7:00…because I am an early riser…but I think I think I will be able to work with it.  There is also an expense record located on the bottom of the page for every single week!  It allows you to keep track of how much you spend on gas, entertainment, and miscellaneous items.  Love it!!! 

I love being organized so this business planner is going to get lots of use.   There are also many additional information pages that will come in handy.  A few of the pages included are area codes, metric conversion charts, time zones, mileage for roads and air, toll free numbers for major hotels, auto rentals and airlines.   It is going to prove to be very useful.  I can hardly wait to fill it up with all the things I have planned for this year. 

The next item I received is a House of Doolittle 2014 Desktop Calendar.   

It is a nice size (18 1/2 x13) which is somewhat smaller than most of the desktop calendars that I have used in the past.  It is going to work perfectly on my desk. The daily blocks are large enough that even I (and I write BIG) have plenty of room to add my personal notes. There is an additional area on the side if needed for more writing! Each month has its own full page. The font used for the dates are large enough to be read very easily. When I first received the Calendar I had to tear off the first page, I was glad that it was able to be removed easily and left a nice clean edge.

Both of these items are made of recycled materials  and also made in the USA!!!
