I have been using this calendar for years, ever since I discovered it on the shelf at Borders (I now order it from Amazon).  My family runs by the "If it isn't on the Calendar It doesn't exist" rule.  Lots of room to write in each box for appointments, reminders, celebrations, etc.  About every other month is a color pic, but that is not a problem as my daughter loves to color in the months not color printed and it makes the calendar even better.  I think, I would actually be sad if they had full color and I couldn't have her "fix" it for me as she has been doing this for years!
