Every semester I cannot wait
to get all my syllabi together and fill in my calendar. Is that just me? I love
to organize and plan, and I can't live without my calendar. So when I saw Erin
Condren's life planner it was love at first sight!
I have to give credit
to Lessons with Laughter for introducing me to this wonderful gem. Erin Condren
has great teacher lesson planners as well, and I had to stop myself from buying
one, since I won't be teaching until next year. It was tempting anyway. But the
life planner is amazing! Instead of telling you, I'll just show you. You
can see for yourself here on
Erin Condren's site under the planners&books tab.
This
was very hard for me to slow down and take pictures as I opened it! I just
wanted to rip right into it and see it.
Isn't
it so pretty?!
This
little goodie was free with my purchase. It included a sample of her new body
butter and the little pouch. I now use the pouch for my markers and post it
notes!
There
she is!! Look how pretty my name is, it has never looked better. The name and
date were free, but you can also add a photo for a charge. There are also
different styles for the cover, this one was just my favorite.
There
are so many inspirational quotes throughout the book.
Now
for me, this is my favorite part. This I use multiple times a day! Along the
left side I write my goals for week. (I think every week so far my goal has
been to go to the gym and I haven't yet! Oops!) I already filled in all my
homework for the semester. Each week I plan my meals out along the bottom
section. As I plan my meals, I also write a grocery list along the left too. It's
perfect!
There
are lots of blank pages in the back, both lined and not. I have not used these
yet, but I am planning on keeping track of each class's grades on the pages.
In
the back are a TON of stickers! There's an entire sheet of birthday stickers.
This sheet pictured includes "game!", "day off!",
"hair appt.", "dentist appt.", "sale!", "doc
appt.", "concert!", "mani/pedi", "party!",
and "vacation!". They just make it look so cute and colorful when you
use them.
Also
in the back, (in the resealable pocket!) are gift tags and stickers. Some
already have my name on them and others are left blank.
On
the last page are the calendars for the next 2 years for planning events ahead.
So that's my baby!! I would
be lying if I said I hadn't hugged it...it's just so pretty!
Here's
my week and how I've used it so far. I always like to have a post it note with
a verse that has stuck out to me on it. And now I have a little note for blog
ideas too! :)
