What is the difference between the MOM and the WOW Diary?
Read about the differences in our blog post
How did the WOW Diary come about & why is it such a good planner?
Any women, whether they are moms or not, generally have many different hats that they wear and a good planner is needed.
In 2010 Alison Deary, a mom to 4 sons, was faced with the challenge of her kids all being at different schools. On top of 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. That was the start of the MOM Diary!
Two years later, one day on a run with her running partner, Ange asked her if she could make her a diary but with the MOM turned upside down so that it would read WOW Diary. Ange loved the way the planning worked in the MOM Diary, but was not a mom herself, and for obvious reasons, did not want a diary that said MOM on the cover.
How can the WOW Diary (woman’s planner) help YOU
The WOW (Wonderfully Organised Women) 2023 Diary 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.
The WOW Diary is an awesome woman’s planner, 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 women stay organised, it is also helping the local economy.
What has changed in the 2023 WOW Diary?
Although the basis of the WOW 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 2023 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.
Noula Draper –
I ordered 4 WOW diaries as Christmas gifts. Two were on back order. The Papery Team sent me a weekly update about my order, and when they sent the tracking number the parcel was delivered within 3 days. Not only is their service immaculate, but the diaries are beautiful and of high quality. Would recommend The Papery to anyone!

I normally order via takelot but they didn’t have my colour yet so I ordered directly with The Papery for first time. WOW what super service. They said 7 days, kept in contact. My diary was well delivered way before that. THANK YOU

I can’t wait to start 2022 living a more intentional life having this diary as a daily companion! You could never make a mistake buying this diary and the service from The Papery was wonderful! Wish I had discovered this diary years ago!
