How did the MOM Diary come about & why is it such a good planner?
In 2010 Alison Deary, a mom to 4 sons, was faced with the challenge of her kids all being at different schools. Because she had a big gap between her first two and second two kids, she ended up with one in pre-school, one in primary school, one in high school and the oldest at college.
That meant a lot of careful planning, dealing with 4 different institutions, school meetings all being on different dates, sports and other activities happening at each of the schools and then keeping track of tests, exams, projects, cakes sales, tuck shop duties, social activities………and the list goes on!
Apart from that, Alison was running a business from home, having staff to manage and fitting in her own work hours too.
As if that was not enough, having given up smoking and the weight starting to pack on, Alison had taken up running quite seriously and at the same time joined her younger kids at their karate class.
There was a lot going on for her back then and she needed to find a way to manage all of this in a way that would keep her from getting totally overwhelmed. After looking around for a suitable woman’s diary to do her planning in, and finding nothing, she decided to create a diary that would help her with the challenge of managing the household, kids and work and her own personal commitments, all at the same time.
Being a goal driven person, she also wanted to incorporate her goals into the diary, so that they could become as much part of her life as her chores were. Even her daily gratitude was given a prime spot in the diary.
How can the MOM Diary (woman’s diary) help YOU with planning
The MOM (Most Organised Mother) 2021 Diary system incorporates many helpful solutions to organisation, time management, budgeting, meal planning & recipes, record keeping and convenience. All in a simple, effective and easy to use format.
10 Years later, the MOM Diary is still an invaluable tool, and the woman’s diary of choice, to so many women in and around South Africa. And one of the bonuses is this is a locally manufactured product, which means not only is it helping moms stay organised, it is also helping the local economy.
What has changed in the 2021 MOM Diary?
Although the basis of the MOM Diary will probably never change, i.e. the layout of the daily pages, we decided with the 2021 Diary, to make a few changes – either to make it aesthetically more beautiful, or to make your planning experience more effective.
Because it is a woman’s diary, we decided to pretty up the cover with floral patterns all over the 2021 Diary – we also changed the cover material to a leather like printed material (this is our Covid-19 baby).
The monthly planner has also been upgraded to a 2 page spread.
Because we want to keep this woman’s diary looking fresh every year, we have made subtle font and design changes in the 2021 Diary.
Another great planning feature is adding dotted bullet journal pages at the start of each month.
We asked you, our customers what recipes you wanted in the 2021 Diary and we think we have done a pretty good job in satisfying most of your requests. We teamed up with Foodies of SA and used some amazing recipe’s from their Foodies of SA recipe book.
We really hope that you love your 2021 Diary and would appreciate any feedback that you want to send our way.

I am completely impressed with the mom diary. It’s what I’ve been looking for, for ages.
It has everything I need to keep organised, of my own things, my husbands things and for my 2 kids.
I was so impressed with it, that I bought another as a Christmas gift and I shared the link to this product on a few Whatsapp groups.
Thankyou so much for an awesome product to help keep me sane through all the chaos.
I will look forward to the new designs and updates for 2022

Love this diary. It lays flat. Has a beautiful cover and the page a day is just wonderful. The paper quality is also good and my gel pen doesn’t bleed through. I can’t say enough about how great it is. And at such a good price point anybody can afford to have one. I am definitely giving this as gifts for Christmas this year.

I purchased my mom diary for 2021, when it arrived I absolutely fell in love with it immediately. So days passed and unexpectedly my ribbon fell out, I thought OK I’ll let the company know, as this is a fault from the printers /binders. A day or 2 later I received an email from one of the ladies working at “The Papery”. After explaining the story and some photos, with out any question they asked for my address and posted me a brand new diary and a very lovely pen to go with it.
Best costumer service I ever experienced.
You have a customer for life. Yet again that you ladies for the awesome work you do.
