What is the difference between the MOM and the WOW Diary?
Read about the differences in our blog post
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) 2023 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.
13 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 2023 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 2023 Diary, to make a few changes – either to make it aesthetically more beautiful, or to make your planning experience more effective.
Because we want to keep this woman’s diary looking fresh every year, we have made subtle font and design changes in the 2022 Diary. We have Howard to thank for these beautiful fresh ideas.
As always, we come up with 12 new exciting recipes each year. We are really trying to cater to everyone’s needs with some vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, etc. We hope we have nailed it!
Our Monday motivation is handpicked by Alison each year. 2023 features a lot of self love and self kindness quotes, clearly just what we all need during this time that we are going through in the world.
We really hope that you love your 2023 Diary and would appreciate any feedback that you want to send our way.

This is the first year that I am using the WOW Diary, and I absolutely love it!
It is the first time that I am actually “devoted” to entering all my “to-do’s” and appointments in a diary seeing, in contrast with my past diaries, this one is so user-friendly with lots of tips and inspirations.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to send you feedback, and for a wonderful, functional diary!

I have used the MOM diary every year since 2012! So this is my 7th year. Love it! Love it! I buy them for my sister-in law and friends for Christmas, they make a wonderful present! It is so well laid out and so encouraging. I use mine everyday! Even in these times of electronic diaries, it is always nice to write stuff down. My to do lists, Xmas Lists. It is wonderful to jot down my thoughts and daily/weekly plans, while I drink my morning tea, at the start of the day. Alison and her team have done an amazing job, and are always open to suggestions. I can not live without my MOM diary!!

I have been using a MOM Diary every year for the last 6 years and I couldn’t run my life without it! My family are all hyperactive so I need this fantastic diary to keep pace and keep track of them. I don’t know how Alison does it, but every year the diary gets better and better and this year’s was even cheaper than last year! Well Done to Alison and her wonderful team, you are doing an excellent job!

I received my diaries the very next day – WHAAUW – I am so impressed – this is the best delivery service I have ever experienced in South Africa. Well done and thank you, I love the diaries and look forward to using them in 2019!

Before I even had a chance to check the tracking number yesterday my parcel arrived with my beautiful new 2019 diary!
I made my first entries in it last night – all in different colour-coded pens for me, hubby, the kids and family events. And then, this morning, when we ran out of milk, I could have kicked myself because I didn’t order a ‘To Do’ list together with the diary that I could have stuck on the fridge
Thanks for great service as always!
