Erin Condren LifePlanner Unboxing

Erin Condren LifePlanner Unboxing

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a thing for office supplies. Fun new colored pens & notebooks are one of my love languages.

When I entered middle school, they started giving us student planners and I loved it!! From then until now I’ve used many different types of planners and until recently, it was more for fun then it was for necessity.

Yes, I’m aware how weird I am.

I have entered a season of life where I have so many different schedules, to-do’s, reminders for myself and the members of my family that finding just the right planner is very important and not to be taken lightly.

I’ve had a MomAgenda in the past and really liked that I could have separate areas for each family member. For most of 2105, I used this Sugar Paper planner I found at Target. It was good but I needed something better – more than a calendar. When 2016 came along, I knew I wanted to take my time and find something with the separate areas for each family member at least and maybe some other neat features if possible. I ended up with a Day-Timer FamilyPlus and I had really high hopes for it. Alas, it did not live up to my expectations.

All this time I’d really wanted an Erin Condren LifePlanner. I just couldn’t justify the cost until I was a little more of exactly what I wanted. In the meantime, I watched Unboxing & Plan With Me videos on YouTube and would browse the Erin Condren site and dream.

Then I got the email that all planners were 40% off!!! I could get my first Erin Condren LifePlanner for only $25! I jumped at the chance and eagerly waited for it to arrive!!!

Erin Condren LifePlanner Unboxing - Cover

I chose one of the Good-To-Go covers as it was the least expensive option and it would have been very hard to choose among the personalized options. Plus, I knew that the covers are interchangeable and I can always get a new one if I decide there’s something I really want.

Erin Condren LifePlanner Unboxing - Month View

The Monthly View is great for jotting down the bigger picture items on your calendar – birthdays, appointments, general reminders. In the Erin Condren LifePlanners, each month has a new color scheme. I thought April’s was light & springy!!

Erin Condren LifePlanner Unboxing - Week View

The Weekly View is where you can go into more detail – goals, to-do lists, daily tasks, etc. It has become queite popular to customize & personalize these pages with washi tape, labels, markers..you name it. Check out YouTube for some great ideas. I hope to venture into – likely to much lesser degree – as I learn how to make the planner work best for me.

Erin Condren LifePlanner Unboxing - Extras

The back of the planner has a pouch with lots of great bonus accessories for your LifePlanner. They include compliment cards, referral cards and a sample set of “do-it-all” dots.

I am so excited to get started using my new Erin Condren LifePlanner!!!

Playroom Re-Org

With the impending arrival of Baby Girl, we’ve had to rethink and readjust how we use the space in our house. Our 3rd bedroom is currently Brooke’s playroom and we don’t have room anywhere else for the toys and books in there so we’re making it a combo of playroom & nursery.

Dress Up Hook Over-the-door Art Organizer That means we’ve had to get creative in terms of storage. We hung hooks for dress up clothes and accessories. We got an over the door shoe organizer for art supplies. We made progress but there’s still so much to figure out and there are so many different shelving and organization systems out there, I want to make sure we’ll get the most use out of whatever we get. My poor ADHD brain has been on overload trying to think it all through.

With playroom organization on the brain 24/7, I was so intrigued when I saw these new labels from Mabel’s Labels!

Mabel’s Labels has created a great new label that combines technology with organization! Can’t remember where you put your summer clothes or those holiday decorations? With the new Scan & Store labels from Mabel’s Labels, you will never misplace your items again! Here’s how they work:

1. Apply the label to a bin, tote or other container.
2. Scan it with the Write Away! app.
3. Store the title, location, description and a photograph of the container.

From your phone you can store the names and photographs of an unlimited number of items and assign them to a container, search for containers and items and much more! Organizing has never been so easy. Be sure to try out these new amazing labels today. Happy Organizing!

My mind is racing with the possibilities. What would you use Scan & Store labels to organize?

Pinterest keeps me dreaming

In my circle of online friends, Pinterest has become a phenomenon.

I’m using it to keep track of recipes to try, books to read, craft projects to attempt and even party ideas for Munch’s upcoming 3rd birthday.

I’m hoping to tackle some of these projects and feature them here on the blog.
