Summary: Great Family Tool!
Review: Great book! I have found this especially handy when we were going away and the children were staying at home with a babysitter. Everything that she needed was in one place for any emergency. It never occured to me before to add some of the must know things that only Mom knows about. Thanks! I've also used the travel tips recently when the little children went on a trip! Look forward to the next book. Soon I hope!

Summary: Fantastic Guide For Organizing Your Family Life
Review: Here's a book every busy mom can really use. It's a great resource to buy for yourself and finally get your life organized. It's also a great looking book and makes a super gift for any mom on your list. Stacy Debroff, the author, has a website that is a nice extension of the book; momcentral.com and a great newsletter. This is a wonderful compliment to my book, 10 Principles for Spiritual Parenting because when you have the organization set up there's room for spirit to flow in.

Summary: I always thought I was organized until I found this book.
Review: I always thought I was organized until I found this book. Now I know I really am. I never stopped to think that in an emergency I would have to run all over to find the information that I now have all together in one book.

Summary: I needed Mom Central!
Review: I am the kind of person who writes notes on too many "little yellow stickies" and has to go searching through those little pads to get back the information. Mom Central has given me one organized place to record all the pertinent information I need to keep handy and my family or caregiver may need in my absence. An added bonus is the momcentral.com website and their monthly on-line newsletters which are full of useful information.

Summary: too much , overkill
Review: I bought this book because it looked good. Once I opened it, I was disappointed in thecontent. There are too many forms and checklists and most information is useless. I have developped my own system in which I use a 5 x 8 binder. It is easy to copy my forms and lists and is less bulky than their book. Their checklists are too expensive to keep ordering. My advice: save your money and make your own record keeper.

Summary: Disappointing...not what I expected
Review: I expected this book to be my central source of vital household and family information once the blanks were filled in. Instead, the book contained dozens of checklists and at least three sections that I don't need. The few pages I did find useful requested information I'd already entered into my handheld PDA months ago. Chances are this book will collect dust on a shelf, or will be passed on to a friend who may find it more useful.

Summary: This book only gives you the FEELING of being organized
Review: I got the book "Mom Central" for Christmas (from Amazon.com!), but I'm really not very happy with it - it's just a bunch of lists and it's not in a 3 ring binder or anything, so if you use one of the lists you destroy the book. It's the sort of book that may make someone FEEL organized when they first write all the info in it, but then they'll just have to re-write it later when they outgrow the book (which seems like it would happen pretty quickly!) I think getting yourself a small 3-ring binder and some colored paper would make more sense!

Summary: Limited Usefulness
Review: I have tried to use this book for a few years now, and I am planning on giving up and moving to a three-ring binder which will incorporate paper, some forms from Franklin Covey, and -- most important -- my own dividers. I am giving it three stars, because I think it is probably really useful if you happen to have a few children who are involved in a million activities and you make enough money to have to make choices on things like which nanny is best. I've read that stay at home moms think this would only help working moms, but I work full time and have two children, and I think it would only help wealthy, urban moms who have a pretty high-powered lifestyle. I also find the spiral binding very limiting, and the way in which it is divided does not work for me. An example: I have yet to quickly find my kids' clinic numbers quickly using this thing, but of all the information in the organizer, this is information I need most often -- usually while I'm on the phone with the doctor's office. Why not have a space for info like this right inside the cover? Disclaimer: I am considered to be very organized. It might be that this organizer might be more helpful if you want more direction.
