Like me, you probably juggle “a million” tasks every day. Household chores, work assignments, family commitments, and social appointments. Without some kind of plan, daily life can feel overwhelming.
📢 UPDATE – This post highlights an earlier version of Homemaker’s Friend. The NEW 2023 edition is now available on Amazon and from the publisher.
If you struggle with time management or stress management, you need help. A personal day planner may be the answer. But not just any planner. A smart planner for women on the go.
Homemaker’s Friend is a must-have for women like you. Thousands of busy women use it to simplify their lives. If you’re the Martha type (Luke 10:38-42) – busy, overwhelmed, and overworked – Homemaker’s Friend could be just what you need.
Why this particular planner? Let’s find out.
đź“‹ DISCLOSURE – I received a free copy of Homemaker’s Friend in exchange for an honest review. Regardless, the opinion expressed on this page is my own.
What is Homemaker’s Friend?
Homemaker’s Friend is a daily planner for homemakers of all stripes. Busy moms, work at home wives, women in the workplace – anyone on the go. Sue Hooley created this planner after years of homemaking and mothering experience.
As a mother of six, she understands a homemaker’s day. She knows that no two days are alike, and tasks don’t always fit in a typical planner’s time slots.
That’s what makes Homemaker’s Friend different from other planners. It’s basic but flexible. Compact yet roomy, with enough space for all your notes.
It really is a smart way to plan your days.
“Through eleven moves, from one child to six, from toddlers to adults … this basic, flexible planner kept me on track,” wrote Hooley, “while allowing me to change from one stage to the next.”
Homemaker’s Friend is the consumer version of her homemade planners from years gone by. Since the first edition came out in 2010, thousands of women have used it to organize their days and duties.
I discovered the planner last year, when the author sent me a copy to review for my readers (read the review here). So many features impressed me, especially the weekly calendar and tear-out shopping lists.
For more on this planner’s features, keep reading.

The New Edition is Here
Although the new year is three months away, I’m pleased to announce that the 2018 planner is here – hot off the press! This gives you plenty of time to get YOUR planner before the holiday rush.
I know some women who would love to receive this planner for Christmas. 🎄 And it’s likely you know some, too. So when you buy YOUR planner, order extra copies for the women on your gift list.
What’s in the New Edition?
The 2018 edition of Homemaker’s Friend is similar to this year’s planner. The spiral-bound book has a convenient size (5.5 X 8.5 inches) and an attractive laminated cover. Seven tabbed dividers distinguish the following sections:
- Yearly Calendar
- Monthly Calendar
- Weekly Planner
- Tasks Lists
- Projects and Events
- Information
- Shopping Lists
Hooley sprinkled inspirational quotes and Bible verses throughout the pages. And she offers a bonus, too – FREE menu planning worksheets to make your mealtimes easier. Now that’s smart!
The tear-out shopping lists are one of my favorite features of Homemaker’s Friend. I also like the planner’s compact size. It tucks “nice and neat” into a laptop computer bag – mine goes everywhere with me.
Whether I’m doing housework or blogging at a coffee shop, I’m never without my planner.
A Smart Planner for YOU
Homemaker’s Friend really is a smart planner for busy women. It can make your days more organized and less stressful. This year’s planner has helped me make the most of my time, so I can’t wait to put the new edition to work!
If you need a daily planner for 2018, visit Amazon and grab a shopping cart. The planner is a bargain for what it offers, and with Amazon Prime you get FREE shipping. (Those Christmas 🎄 gifts?)
Make this YOUR planner for the new year. You won’t be disappointed. ◻️
