Home Improvement Tracker | #ECLifePlanner

If y’all are interested in the exact when I got, I will put it up in a card for you. My walkthrough hold on. I can’t like turn things and look at the viewfinder. At the same time, I got the lux cover and I actually have an interchangeable cover behind it, because I want to use this as a dry erase board at some point.

So I got an additional cover and this is the woven wonder, pattern in the lighter version and then the luxe version had the woven wonder only in the light kind of Navy based and then they also have a black one. That has the white lines in it. As well so anyway, this is my life planner and I do get the hourly layout and it looks like this and I have done a couple of other articles about this planner and I will link them down below for you as well.

Alright, let’s get this back straight again! Here we go so I have been kind of brainstorming how I was going to use this page. This page is at the very beginning of the planner, it’s right after the view of 2000 and 2018, all the way to the end of 2019, and I just have never really utilized this in any of my life planners and I’ve. This is my third life planner. Fourth, life planner. I can’t remember, there’s been so many I was thinking about it last night and I’m like you know what I have so many like little home projects.

I want to do that. Don’t necessarily need a full page like it doesn’t need like a whole notes page as I’m trying to stay so it’s like well, maybe I can put in all the different like areas in my home that I possibly want to work on in 2019 and kind of Have like a running checklist of things I want to get done and then, when I get them done that I can check them off my list. So that is what I’m going to do today.

I already laid down some page flags as to like the rooms. I want to like talk about in each category and I used my Erin Condren clip in stylized, sticky notes. It has these old teeth right here, so you can literally just with them in if you want to, and they don’t pop out until you go like a deuce. So I kind of figured out that these were all the rooms in the home that I would possibly want to focus on.

I have a little bit of a smaller home if you guys have seen my vlogs or anything like that, but clearly this could work for any sized home or apartment or condo or whatever, but you could just make it your own or if you want to get A little bit more specific, you could, you know, there’s other things you could do. What I’m going to be using today is going to be this Erin Condren. This is there like conversion of washi, but it’s paper tape, but it really goes with this woven wonder pattern.

That’s at the top there, so I’m going to use that on here as well as I have these metallic scalloped boxes from coffee break, planner, which I absolutely love in the foil, and these are gold, which I thought would look really nice with my gold coil that I have so I’m going to put in like kitchen or dining room or whatever on there, and then I also have these from Erin, not Erin Condren. Oh my gosh coffee break planner, I’m losing it today.

Um – and these are these cute little houses, which I think I’ll incorporate in some fashion on here – I’m just not sure how just yet and then I think I have some checklists from Christian designs still, but I’m going to just look real quick, alright. So I am almost out of these checklists, but I think today I’m going to write down, maybe one or two things in each category. If I have anything kind of pending on my mind and then I’m going to use these little checklists, just kind of just put them in so I can cross them off and check them off when I complete them, and today I’m also going to be using.

I can Trevor if I talked about this, yet maybe I did maybe I didn’t. I don’t know I’m going to be using my pilot ultrafine point permanent marker to use on my coffee break planner stickers and then on my actual page, I’m going to be using this jelly roll. Oh eight, it’s kind of like a more like a darker blue version. I believe they call it blue online, but it is more of a like a true Navy and I will link the pen sources down below for you guys as well.

So let’s get this party started. Let’s see how I’m going to do this, I’m not like totally sure yet. I think I want to leave like the little colour kind of poking out still, but let’s, let’s see, let’s see what looks good all right and this little bookmark is also from Erin Condren. It just snaps in again all right. I think I like the way that looks. Let’s, let’s do one together and then I will speed up things because we all know how redundant things could get on the Internet all right.

So I think I like how that looks. I just wrote entry and then let’s try this one as well, so I’m just not I’m not sure y’all, I’m not sure, okay yeah. I think I’m into this okay. So, let’s speed up the footage a little bit and I will do all the rest of these and then we will chat at the end when I am putting in all of the different tasks that I have for each location of my home all right. So I am finally all set up with all the rooms that I want to focus on for 2019 in my home, so I’m super pumped about that.

So let’s talk about the things that I want to do in my home. I’m actually going to use some of these little checklist from Christian designs. If you guys are interested, it’s the kad, zero, zero, four seven, eight I’ll link her shop as well as all the other sources that I’m using down below. But let’s focus on one page: at a time and I’ll zoom you zoom in a little bit Emily come on there. We go well zoom in just a little bit and four on the paper.

Here, I’m going to be using this jelly roll, oh eight! So in the entryway, I want to focus on a few things, so I’m going to just lay this down, oh and by the way I like to use a tweezers to lay these down, because they’re very, very meticulous, I’m currently using a Revlon tweezers with the slant Like the area, it’s probably easier to see it on the white there, with the like slanted tip, I feel like these really helped with pulling them like pulling them off of the sticker sheet as well as laying them down.

It gives me more control I’ll leave a link below if you guys are interested in exactly the ones I am doing so in the entryway. I want to do a few things, so let’s write those in and then we’ll talk about it, alright. So in my entryway I want to do two specific things. I want to change out my light fixture and they also want to paint a bench. There’s a bench. That’s actually a built in that was you know in the home before I bought it, and it’s kind of that golden oak color that all the rest of my other cabinetry is or was, and I want to paint that white at some point.

So that’s kind of on my to-do list living room. I don’t really have anything like really specific. I want to do in the living room for 2019 in my half bath. I also have a couple of things I want to do so. Let’s put those in alright. So in my half bath I want to paint my vanity. It’s also that golden oak color and I want to paint my walls, I’m kind of kicking myself that when I moved in here a year ago, I didn’t just paint the bathrooms either because the bathrooms actually weren’t that bad, but now looking at them, it’s like.

Oh, I want paint those so anyway, that’s part of my things that I want to accomplish in the laundry room. I really don’t have anything specific in there in the garage. I have a couple little things and we’re going to put those into there’s. Actually a couple of projects within this project, but it’s hang shelving and then the guest room is not going to be a guest room anymore. But I want to do a couple of little things, but my main one I’m going to put in for 2019 all right and then the guest room with bunny ears.

I need to find an air mattress that will work for my space and I also need to figure out some bedding storage solutions for the space as well. When I have guests come over, I’m either going to set them up in the loft or my new office, which is currently a guest room, but I’m going to change that over into an office. So there’s going to be some major changes happening at the fde house. In 2019, all right, so, let’s move along to the next page over here, so I’m just going to put in all the things that I want to do in each location and then we’ll talk about it at the end, all right.

So I think I am done now so I did add over on this side under garage keypad. I forgot that I really wanted to get one of those like keypad things. The funny thing is, is my home is already wired for it, but the keypad that’s out. There is like a faux keypad like it’s, not real, so you have to put in your own and all that good stuff, but I am going to hopefully be working on that in 2019, so over to the right in the kitchen.

Of course, I want to do a ton of things to my kitchen, but in there big things too, so I want to switch out the light fixture. I currently have this like a track system that I really don’t like, so I’m not sure if the lights still have to be tracks or if I can just get new actual like lights, for the track, I’m not sure but off to consult with an electrician. On that, I want to paint my cabinets, which is a huge undertaking, and then I also want to install a garbage disposal in the kitchen in the dining room.

I don’t really have any specific plans for the dining room at this point, but we’re going to just leave it open. I’m sure I will put something in there at some point. As for the loft again, the light fixture, the light fixtures are really really horrible here and what’s actually kind of funny is that the original owner spent more money on these light. Fixtures that I just think are hideous they’re like these like weird like spotlights, and that just doesn’t do it for me, so I really wish he would have just left the original ones in there cuz.

I know what they look like. I’ve been to my neighbor’s house and those are all original and I’m like whiney just leave those in there I mean they’re, not fabulous, but they’re, not bad, like they’re, not bad, like the ones that I heard I already have, but anyway, but switching out the light Fixture in the loft is one of my main priorities and then in the master bath. I want to paint my cabinet and vanity.

I have like oh tall, like like kind of built into the wall cabinet and then the vanity and then paint the walls again. Both bathrooms are basically the same in my bedroom. I don’t really have any like specific design plans or anything like that or things I want to buy just yet I’m going to leave that open because I’m sure I’ll put something in there at some point. As for my office, I have a huge remodel to do and I need to buy all of my IKEA office furniture and then the other tasks that I have that I’m like really needing to do is I need to remove the closet door and then I want To put up some like draperies and stuff in its place, as I set up my IKEA office furniture, I won’t be able to open the closet door all the way, because they’ll get swings and I’ll have a piece of furniture in the way and no one’s going To be using that room anyways besides myself, so I want to just remove the door and I will end up just putting the door in my garage and storing it out there for the next possible owner, oh and speaking of the office.

I do need to do one more thing in there, which is to paint the trim of the doors. So let’s put that in as well. Actually, I need to paint the doors too. What’s with that, and I need to paint the doors anywhere but in the office for sure I was thinking about just getting new doors but they’re so expensive. You guys, like I don’t know if I could do that, it just seems like kind of a waste cuz. The doors are fine, it’s just they’re like not a nice color for my design, aesthetic.

So I think I’m just going to spend the time and money and effort and just paint them versus spending a ton of money and getting them installed and having to deal with contractors here and doing all that stuff. And you know it’s just it’s just a whole long thing: it’s not just a door, it’s like the casing and the trim and all that and they going to rip everything out. It just becomes a whole long thing, but anyway that is going to be it.

For my article today, I hope you guys enjoyed this like legit. This is making me very motivated to like want to tackle these projects right now, but of course, I’m going to pace myself and when I do these little updates, I will be giving you all some sneak peeks, either in a article or on Instagram or Facebook, so Feel free to follow me there by social media links are always below for you guys and of course I will source all the things that I use for this spread down below and if you are interested in getting your own Erin Condren products if you’ve never bought Anything there before there is a link for you that says first-time Erin, Condren peeps and if you sign up and created an account, Erin Condren will send you an email for $ 10 off of your first purchase.

2020/2021 Layers Accessories Preview | Erin Condren #ECSquad

I just posted the Erin Condren life planner open box for 2020 slash 2021. I will leave that link up in a card for you and down below. I figured I wanted to do the accessories separate than the life planner, because I know some people are just interested in the life planner and some people are interested in just the accessories plus.

The article would have been like an hour long, so we’re going to break this puppy up. So here’s just some of the accessories that are going to be available on launch day by the way public launch day is on April 29 and then also, if you’re, an ec insider. Your launch day is on April 27. So you have a couple of extra days, which is very exciting, so the planners will be up then, as well as some of the accessories there’s, probably more accessories that I didn’t get and that’s okay.

So first things first! Thank you so much to the Erin Condren team, Sam and Tori. If you guys always think of me, thank you so much. I got this all in PR and I’m just going to tell you my thoughts. So let’s go through this a one by one and I will share what I know all right. First things. First, these little dudes are some of my favorite things. These are called complement cards and they’re like little business cards, and I absolutely love them.

I bring them to my office. I think this is one of the most like underrated, Erin Condren products. Basically of all time. I think I don’t know so I use these a lot in the office. Like I said, I mean clearly I’m not in the office right now, because we’re all under stay at home orders under quarantine because of everything that’s going on. But I have given a lot of these out in the past if somebody’s having a bad day or they closed a big sale or something like that.

So like this one sounds like I’m so proud of you, it’s got a blank back, so you can just write a little note and stuff, and the really fun thing is: is I’ll just leave this on somebody’s desk and write a little note to them. Like you know, I hope you’re having a great day or whatever it is and then, like you know, a year later, I walk by their desk and they, like still have it up. It’s like super cute, so anyways.

I love these. I think these are awesome and they’re in the colorful layers. That is the theme for this year. So you’re going to see the majority of my stuff that I received in PR is colorful layers. So this is the first thing the compliment cards. Also, this bad boy is a pen and it is a ballpoint pen. They have these last year as well in the kaleidoscope. They have the gold hardware and I did test this out already.

It is a black ballpoint pen and yeah. It’s just a ballpoint pen. It’s not a marker or anything like that, so it’s just, but it’s really cool it have a cute case. You can actually pull. Could you pull this out hold on hold on? I need to disassemble things I feel like you, can pull this out and use this for something else. Ooh hold on. Oh, yes, okay, sorry, I’m breaking all your stuff, erin condren yeah! You could pull this out and use it as like a little storage box.

If you wanted, but ya thought this was really cool and definitely going to use that there are also a bunch of stickers and we’ve got just some basic event box stickers with some silver foil. We’ve also got some birthday stickers with silver foil, and then we’ve got this one here, that’s more than rose gold, foil and the gold foil, which is my favorite, love those and then another thing that is one of my favorite faves.

I use them so often every single year is these stylized sticky notes they clip right into the coil of your life, planner they’re, so versatile, so functional. Actually, here, let’s do this. Let me let me show you the pen real quick and you just turn it like. It’s not a click like it’s a turn and so yeah there you go and it’s a black ink pen. I don’t know if I said that, maybe I do I’m losing it. I don’t even know what day it is right now.

No, but I love these and I use them every single year. I always stock up on them too, because I go through several of these per year. Next up is a dashboard, it has priorities and to do, and you can use your dry erase markers on them or wet erase markers. I don’t know I never use them and then over on the back side, it has Monday through Sunday people use this for like meal planning or if there’s like a bunch of to do things or whatever you can also use which I’ve seen.

People do little sticky notes on here, rather than actually writing on here too. So I don’t know everyone does something a little bit different. So I think that’s the fun idea of planning and you just kind of do what works for you and your family in your life and whatever you want to track or shorten dates whatever so yeah. And then these also have the clip in just like the stylized sticky notes, so they fit perfectly in your coil bound planner or they also fit perfectly in the ring bound planner as well.

Next up we’ve got these beautiful bookmarks speaking of fitting perfectly in the planner. Oh, I didn’t take. All the adhesive off should have done that before the article started. Oh well, but these fit perfectly in your life planner as well. Every year I end up getting these and you know what I end up using them for is to cut washy. Here’s my one from last year, that’s like legit just sitting on my desk because I use it every day, sometimes multiple times a day and yeah.

So this has all of the different colorful layers and you can choose you know which one you want to use or you can use all of them and you can clip them in and I feel like. I got the daily planner this year and I feel like with the daily planner. You definitely need a little bookmark just to keep you on task. I mean, maybe not just depending on how you use it, but I think I’m going to be using these a little bit more this year with that we planner for sure there is also some washi tape.

This year, we’ve got the neutral layers. Let me assume you guys in the little boat, so you can see it, I’m so sorry about the glare you guys, but you know I only have a certain amount of time to film these articles. So that’s just how it’s going to go and then so. This is a neutral and then this one is colorful. Just you can see what it would look like. You know on like a white paper background, but I just love this and they’re, not the paper tape they’re, actually like the washi tape, so there are little textured and they cut really well.

I’ve already cut one of them with one of these guys. You know these. These little dudes and they cut really really well – and I really really like them so very excited about that and jazzing up my planner this year and next up whoa hold on. We need to back that train up girl. Okay. Here we go alright. So next up we have one of the petit planners, and this is in the July 2020 through December 2021, monthly planner, it’s just a nice buttery color with the classic mid-century circles from Erin Condren in the gold, foil and yeah.

So let’s take a peek at this. So the first page is, you know this book belongs to just like you normally start out and then we’ve got 20 20 into 20 21 in these smaller month of views, and then you know some boxes and then we’ve got. You know all of the months – and this is just a really really nice basic planner, especially if you’re just not super in a decorative planning, or maybe you want to plan like do a little bit of decorative stuff.

But you just want to keep track of stuff, and this is pretty lightweight fits pretty easily into most bags or purses or something you can keep in your car on your desk. So I really like that and then also in the back. There are tons of these pages that are in the dot grid. This is just so nice and at the very back we have the little folder as usual, and then we’ve got some stickers in the gold foil as well.

So you can jazz up your planner. However, you want to and then we have the beautiful plenty pouch. I love this thing, and this is so so cute, I think was it last year is the first year that they did a pattern to plan a pouch. Maybe not maybe I’m going a little insane. I don’t know anybody’s, but they have it for this year in the colorful, I’m not sure if it comes in any other colorways, I’m not sure if it comes in the neutral or not again.

This was all sent to me in PR, and things are not live on the website. Yet so I’m not really sure, but it is this beautiful leather like material, that’s textured on the back is just kind of this really deep, greenish blue color with the gold strap. This is like a little, you know, opening and that’s got gold hardware, oh yeah and inside. I actually put something inside already, because I could not fit these back in the box and we’ll talk about these right now.

But anyway I was going to say with this: you could put this over your planner cover on your planner. Also, you could do it with your petite planners as well. They’re almost the same size, the pouch is just slightly smaller, I feel like so I feel like if you like, walked into a meeting or something with this that’ll, be it’s like super cute anyway, but yeah. You can put it on your life planner as well.

So, very cute, you can put lots of different things in their pens stickers, anything it all goes in there all right. So these are an interchangeable, DIY, pen, kit, you can scribble design, write and highlight so there’s highlighters, medium tips and three fine tips and then there’s two barrels. So these are the little barrels and then you just like pop them in I don’t know how. Oh, I see huh gotcha, okay cool, so you just kind of snap them in and then turn them and then you know, like you’ve, got stuff, that’s good, I’m kind of cool.

I know that these came out in one of the surprise boxes and I haven’t gotten a surprise box in a long time you guys, like I’m totally slacking, but these are kind of a cool idea and they have lots of different tips again. These are just like the regular markers, this one’s a highlighter, this one’s, a fine tip so yeah, and I just thought that a really great storage option would be to put them in the planning back, because I don’t want to lose any of them, because I want To play with them later and I think to get through filming this article before I can play with that so anyway, I just thought that was really cute, they’re kind of a fun option and then the last item I have to show you today is going to Be the new sticker book – I am just jazzed about this.

These colors are so vibrant and so dang pretty I just can’t get over it and I’m a sucker for an Erin Condren sticker book like everybody else so yeah. But this is beautiful. The color saturation is just so deep and so pretty so yeah I’m just. I am digging on this for sure. So this has a bunch of the gold foil. We’ve got this one that has some of the cooler tones that are more of the rose, gold, foil and then the warmer tones on this side.

This is a different type of paper. I did take one off already and they like meld into your paper um. I don’t know what this paper is, but it’s not transparent, but it’s not like the normal paper either. I don’t know, but I’m kind of obsessed. I don’t know how to explain it. You guys just need to get one trust me, and then this one has a ton of functional stuff which is awesome and the gold foil, and then this one is transparent.

These are totally transparent stickers and if you want to use a pen with these, you can’t use a normal pen. You do have to use a permanent pen. So if you have like a Sharpie pen or like I really like this one, it’s the pilot ultrafine point permanent pen. The link will be down below for these. If you’re interested, they come in a bunch of colors. You just have to write on these and then wait a little bit and then you can, you know, put them in your planner but yeah since it’s like a glassy glossy sticker sheet it just you know you can’t use a regular pen with it so yeah and Then these ones are all the little circles and the silver foil love these.

These are in the transparent as well, but you don’t really need to write on them. They already have the things written down for you in the gold foil. It’s like to do me time. Hello weekend today, appointment all that so I’ll definitely use all of these, and then we’ve got some banners, which is great like weekend, vacation a bunch of other little things, and these are all in the rose gold foiled we’ve got some silver foil here in the flags And then some gold foil and some foxes and hearts, and then we’ve got some of these washi strips, which are always so pretty every year in the layers, and these ones have the rose, gold, foil and then we’ve got some more silver foil, and that is it All right now, so this is it.

Finding Planner Peace

I was actually at my friend Ryan’s apartment yesterday, um, I don’t know in this articles going up, but Ryan has his own YouTube blog, which I will link up in the card for you guys he is a man with the plans, and I brought my binder over And we were kind of looking at each other’s planners and whatever, and I have been decorative planning for several years now.

Actually I started a decorative planning when I started my youtube blog. So what like, four or five years – something like that and it’s taken a long time for me to really understand my style and figure out. What makes me happy so we had a discussion about planner piece and if it’s even achievable and all of that stuff. So I wanted to kind of share with you guys my mentality of how I have gotten to the point where I feel like.

I have achieved the planner piece, the illustrious elusive planner piece. So a lot of my journey with planning is centered around the Erin Condren products. I have tried several different things and what I keep going back to is simplicity. For me, I am NOT one of those people that can have four or five different planners. It’s too much for me, my brain doesn’t work that way. I have a very simple life.

I am single, no kids, no partner. I have a dog like that’s it, so I don’t really have that much stuff to track or write down or whatever you know. But there was a time where I was using a couple of different planners for different things, and now everything is in this planner. What I use now is the Erin Condren binder system, and I’m just going to flip through and like talk to you guys, while I’m flipping so yeah, but this has just been working really well for me, oh my little, my little dots are over here.

Here we go, I’ve done several articles on this particular planner. I did put in a just cover because I feel like that helps with you know not ruining these pages, but I did actually end up ordering a neutral planner, because I love the way that the neutral was. But, to be honest, I decided that neutral is not for me and you guys are probably thinking like what Emily you’re like super neutral. Yes, yes, I am, however, I’m super neutral in my like regular daily life.

However, in my planner is like the one place that I can be super colorful and more bold and loud, and it doesn’t cause me anxiety, like color in general, like lots of like big colors, really cause me legit anxiety. So that’s why my home is very neutral. My wardrobe is very neutral, I’m very neutral, however, in here I actually really enjoy it, so it’s kind of like my little outlet, if that makes sense anyway.

Here are these pages. This has where I track my menstrual cycle paydays and then like work holidays, so I mean you could track whatever the heck you want to on there here. I actually just made this not too long ago. I had one of these in my last planner too, and this is like kind of just like projects or things I’d like to do so like I have my entryway living room, half bath garage laundry office, kitchen, dining room, loft master bath bedroom, and then I have An extra one, but just thought that you know this would be kind of cute to put in there and then over.

Here is my first July, a budget that I’ve done. I used to have a erin condren, deluxe monthly planner, and that only has my budget, and that was it. I love the idea of the deluxe monthly planner when I was actually tracking every single dollar that came in and came out, but I don’t do that anymore. I do follow the Dave Ramsey plan and, at the point that I was tracking everything I was, you know paying down debt saving up my six month, emergency and saving for a house so like that was really nice to have like a tangible place to see everything Like the incoming and the outgoing, but now that I’ve already purchased the house, I’m in baby step four and six, because I don’t have kids, so I don’t not doing college savings.

So I just like an overview. That’s just works super well for me, and I decided to do that in the sheet at the very front of the month. So anyways. If you guys want to see any of my budget bud, you don’t want to see any of my budgeting articles I’ll, throw it up and a card for you guys um, but yeah, and then this is the first month. I just wrote down some things, but I never really. I don’t know I don’t know what to do with this page.

This is this is my problem and I know that some people have actually like taped these pages together, so it just flips to the month. I may or may not do that, I’m not sure I mean I might find a use for these two pages at some point, but this is my month of July. That’s already happened and then speaking of planner piece. So, for me, what has worked really well, especially when you’re first starting is don’t buy all the things.

I know that’s so hard to do, because I bought all the things and I ended up not using all the things this is before. I discovered that people had like dedicated a planner, instagrams and people did. Plan with me is on YouTube and I did not know any of that yet so I had already established my youtube blog just a little bit. I had done a few articles and I decided as soon as I started or as soon as I got my first planner, that I was going to start planning articles and I did, and I actually didn’t do any talking at all.

I mean I said like hello and then I would just you know fast-forward through it, and then he like show you all at the end and it was like very, very decorative and I felt like everything needed to have a theme because that’s the only stuff, I Kind of saw online, it was very femi and it inevitably didn’t end up working for me, which really sucked, but that’s okay. Over the years, I have established a love for two major sticker brands that have really worked for me and the first one is coffee, brick planner, which all these little scallop boxes and then all the scripty words are from her and then I also am in love With Christian designs, I feel like the majority – well not in the majority at least half of the stickers in each shop really appeal to me and that just I don’t know it works well with my brain that I can support these two shops by the things I Need and I feel like it all kind of flows well together.

I hope that makes sense for me and a normal like weekly basis. Usually my two or my go-to things are these scallop boxes because I usually will write in things that are happening, and then these are also which I absolutely love, that they are mat removable stickers. So you can actually peel them up so say I didn’t. You know, edit that day I can pull that up and it’s just so easy. I do obviously have other sticker shops too, but I kind of just sprinkle those in where they go and I’m not super dedicated to one shop or another.

In that respect, I do like little icons like this. One is a 110 and a million this ones once more with love. This little dr. Guy is from plan to plan sticker Co yeah. So I mean I love like little things like that. Just to emphasize the event in the box also, these little blobbies are super cute from oh hello, stationery like there’s so many fun things to put in there to kind of, like judge up your planner, if you like that, if you like super basic and all you Want to do is just have different, colored pens like you go, you do your thing.

You know so yeah, that’s kind of like my mentality, like walking through how I lay my stickers down and how I choose what I choose. So this is like the week of July 4th. Clearly this is July 4th right here and then um here is this week, um so yeah. But another thing I really wanted to talk about was that I know there are some people in the planner community that get not necessarily upset, but maybe like a little perturbed if other people copy their style – and I feel like copying or emulating is how people find Their style, so I always take it as a compliment.

If someone’s going to tag me on instagram or send me an email saying: hey, here’s, my first spread or here’s a spread that I just did and I really emulated your style or I copied your style. What do you think or whatever like? I think, that’s amazing, because that’s how you find what works for you, one of my biggest style inspirations, has been Jen plans and I will leave her Instagram down below. If you are interested.

She also has a youtube blog, which I will link for you guys if you see her style, it’s very different than this, but this is kind of how I came to this conclusion. She has a lot more white space than I do typically in her weeks, and she does do some of the decorative icons. But I definitely do a lot more and I did try out her style like exactly for the longest time, and I just figured you know what I love that style.

It really works for me. I, like true times of you, know I work and then I put my washi in and then you know. At the end of the day, I cut my washi and then I put in what’s going on and what’s happening, but for me I wanted a little bit more decoration in mine and some of you may see this and go oh, my gosh. This is so overwhelming. I don’t know how you’re getting anything done and some of you may see this and go.

This is super boring? Yes, oh everyone has a different way of doing things, but finding that person or that account or several accounts, either on Instagram or Facebook or whatever and just kind of using those as like, okay. Well, I’ve never thought of doing it this way, but maybe I should try this and see how it works. For me, in my life you know Jenna and I actually know each other. We’ve met a few times now, but you know she’s a busy mom.

She works outside the home. She is married and also has three kids and a dog, so her life is so different than mine, but I could still take inspiration from what she has done and what has worked well for her style. So I just kind of took her style and revamped it for myself, because that’s really at the end of the day, what you have to do, you have to figure out what works for you and not necessarily worry about what everybody else thinks of your planner.

Your planner is for you and no one else. I, however, really like to make mine pretty I do have you know a blog online. However, I don’t have to share this stuff. If I don’t want to so you know, I just really enjoy sharing it, and I make it pretty because I want to make it pretty. You know I’m not really doing anything for the camera any longer. I’m really doing it because I love it so anyways. This is another week, that’s all filled in I’m going to flip a little bit more here and show you some other things that have really helped me we’re into August already.

Oh my gosh. So this is actually this week. This is today, and hopefully I’m going to get this up sweet so as I went through this week, so these are kind of like the Emily Leigh colors. So I kind of did a little bit of rainbow and then over here is just kind of whatever. But what I have done – and I’ve actually done this – this is how the conversation started with Ryan yesterday is what I have done, and not what I was explaining to him is that I went through the majority of the weeks for the next year and just put In my work and anything else that I knew was happening so like a birthday or like right here, oh I have a giveaway on Monday.

I don’t think this article is going to be up by Monday, but you never know, and I have like a girls night with my friends Megan. I jazz – and you know like there’s stuff in here and like my trash day, there’s stuff in here that I already know that’s going to happen. So if I lay this down, it’s so much easier for me that then, like mentally throughout the week, come upstairs to my office and then like fill in the evenings or anything that needed to happen in the day time or what’s happening in the weekend or what’s Coming up so that’s really helpful for me to like pre-plan at least the things that I know, and even if say this the day of the 8th.

You know I’m off work or something I can lift this up and I can put in something else. It’s not a problem, but my biggest challenge was just starting with a blank page and not even having like my work in there and then it’s like gosh. Now I have to think about what I want to do. I got to think about what theme I want to go with and about a month ago I ended up. I think it was actually the July 4th weekend.

I just was super inspired and started just planning out my weeks and it’s just making my life so much easier cuz. I don’t have to think about it anymore, so yeah, but then like here, I’m going to be on a road trip with my mom like the last half of this, but I am working over here. So yeah it’s just like, let’s just put in the things and then also like, I have other things going on so like I found out that the wild collab sale is going to be the 22nd through the 25th.

So I just kind of put a little sticky in here and then these little sticky notes are from Erin Condren and then I have another planner meetup, which I haven’t put in here yet and yeah. I even put in like all my budgeting things and anything that I know is in here like Labor Day Patriot day I’ll put in, and then you know I’ll, just put in little page markers for the things that are kind of pending ish, like I’m going to Go to state 4 with my mom and all that good stuff.

So yeah, I don’t know, I just think like this is going to work really well for me in the end that I don’t really need to think anymore. Oh maybe that’s the theme of this articles. Like I don’t need to think about it anymore, but I just really like the way that this feels I’m putting in all my paydays, I’m typically putting in laundry clearly. If I don’t necessarily do the laundry that day, I can still lift this stuff up and I could put it somewhere else without an issue.

I still have some weeks that I don’t have anything which is totally fine and you know I’m still consuming products, I’m still buying things, because I can’t help myself, but you know at that point I was like you know, I’m not sure what I want to do For that week, so I just skipped it, and then this one was actually blank until the other day, and I got my simply gilded box, the one with the malls – and this is the Stardust.

What was in there and I’m like this – is beautiful. I love it. So yeah, but I don’t have I’m out of my little work stickers and I haven’t decided which scallop boxes I want to use for this color palette just yet, but clearly I have until September, to figure it out, there’s also a grilled cheese festival in Minneapolis. I’m really excited about that plus there’s going to be one. So you know I want to go to that um, but yeah, but I like got like I’m going all the way into the end, so yeah there’s like a mother Blanc, one here well, this is a little bit.

Funky um here is like a little spooky one for you know, October and then into the next month. I’ve only done this, but this is like the actual Halloween Day, but yeah. So I mean I’ve obviously put like my dog’s monthly meds, that kind of stuff. You know like this is just like helping my mind work and I hope that this might help. One of you know, hopefully one of you out there, maybe the several of you.

I don’t know, but this is just really like working for me and yes, I’ve already made the decisions and yes, I can’t really use any new stuff, but that’s why I left a few weeks blank. So I think that’ll work pretty well for me and then like into December. I have well this is in December, but it’s actually the week of Thanksgiving, but I have some of this written down. I don’t know what I’m doing for Thanksgiving, probably hopefully nothing cuz.

That’s just my jam yeah, and this is like the first full week of December. Oh also, I got a question from Ryan. When I was we didn’t, you know we were flipping through this he’s like what are these little things mean over here and they’re, my paydays. That’s what they mean. You might not be able to see that one very well, but this one you can soulfully see but yeah. Those are my paydays, so I just keep track of that on my little thing there but yeah.

You know I don’t have anything there. This is the week of Hanukkah, so I wanted to use lots of Blues to celebrate and then the lights all that good stuff. This is the week of Christmas, which I think is so cute, and I used this kit, not a kit but like a couple of sticker sheets from one town and a million which I thought were super cute. This washes from 110 and a million of this washes from 110 and a million, and then this little green band is signifying my coworker is off, but it’s actually from one of the Erin Condren sticker books, I think from a long time ago, but it had the Gold and it had the right green tone – and I was like – let’s do it so anyway, but yeah I mean I’m going all the way into everything for this.

So this one’s really cute, which I love this one’s actually my birthday week, so this is January 9th – is my birthday yeah and I I’m also. I don’t even think I brought this up yet, but I’m also trying to stay motivated with bringing my lunches to work. So I got these really cute little like lunchboxes and then like on my birthday I’ll, probably go out, but whatever so yeah. This is the week of Doyle birthday.

This is Doyle’s birthday right there. It’s also my brother’s birthday, so yeah, but you know I just I’m loving the way that this is working for my brain and you know. I hope that you guys get a little bit of inspiration from this as well. It’s so cute. This is Valentine’s, even though I don’t have a final time, but that’s alright. This is a Valentine’s Day and then into March. I’ve done a few things love the way.

This looks it’s like huh, more springy, and then we’ve got st. Patrick’s Day week. So I mean I don’t know I just I just really like the way this looks, and I hope that you guys to do as well this one’s like a galaxy theme, which I love this washi, it’s like a sample that I had and then um. I don’t know I use this like art, deco II washi as well, so maybe I’m going to just stop it there. There are more weeks that I have filled out, but once I get into May I really haven’t done anything because you know if I get new stuff, I want to be able to use it.

I just prep ahead and that’s just been working really well for me and how this whole planner piece thing works for my brain. I hope you guys enjoyed the article, please let me know down below what has really worked for you to find your own planner piece or find your own planners style. I would really really love to know. We are all different. We are all unique, but I feel like we all have the opportunity to take inspiration from each other and I feel like there is definitely room for all of us as well, whether it’s on Instagram or Facebook or YouTube.

You know, I think everyone has a unique voice, even if your style is still growing and still moving forward. So anyway, that’s going to be it for me today. Thank you guys so much for reading and it feel free to thumbs up subscribe to all those things. Those youtubers tell you to do and I will see y’all in the next article bye guys well folks, it’s time to kick it old-school.

Organize With Me | Planner Sticker Storage

I will put it up in a card for you guys. I had some sticker organization that was working so so well for me, but in the last year or so it just hasn’t been functioning for me properly. I’m going to just explain what I had before and then we’re going to get into how I’m going to be organizing from here on out.

I had these clear pouches from Erin Condren. They had like the zip. You know things right here and I labeled them with Christian design stickers of what they were like this one was food. This one was working YouTube and I had tons of different categories and I would just put my planner stickers in here and then I actually had a pouch. This is actually the pouch I used. I don’t know if they have this design anymore, but these are those just like neoprene pouches that they have and then once they had all of their stickers in them.

I would just throw them in here, however, this got really full and even though I go through my stickers all the time, I do get a lot of stickers and PR and things like that – and I do try to you – know – trim them down from time to Time I was noticing that this little slide on some of them had broken off, because I had like used it too much and also I wasn’t very nice on my stuff and also like some of the seams had kind of ripped down.

I just stuffed them way too, full it’s, not the products fault. It was like totally my own fault, so we’re not going to do this anymore, but what I am going to do is take some inspiration. If you guys follow Jen Mackintosh on Instagram, she has her own blog too. I cannot remember the name of it for the life of me, but I will put it down below as well. For you guys, I saw the top of her Raskob card and I have a Raskin card as well and if you guys want to see a Raskin carte organization like obviously I’m going to be done with this by then.

Let me know in the comments down below or give the article a thumbs up. It just lets me that you got ta know that you guys want to see that I saw the top of her Ascot cart and she had the most genius idea. These are other pouches from Erin Condren they’re, just like a little envelope, which I absolutely love and there’s two different designs. There is this gold one and then there’s also a silver one that has like little polka dots on it, but I thought this would be really nice.

This is the one that she had, because I have an idea on the tops of hers. She actually put like right over here. I can’t remember if it was over here a little sticker. That said what was in there and that’s how she stores her stickers and I was like girl. I need to do that with mine. The issue I had with these, as they were a little bit too small, so if you can see the size comparison and not all my stickers would fit in this smaller one like the one that has the little white design on them.

So I have tested out some of the bigger stickers and they do fit in here, which is awesome and with the slides not working like even this one. Now it’s this one, oh, I was playing with the other one before this one is only open on the one side and see how this is like it’s hard to see, but this one’s already kind of ripping down this one just cause it’s a snap closure would Make it so much easier to kind of just get in and out of I just I don’t know I really like it.

So what I’m going to do is I’ll move all that away. I just got this Christine designs order in the mail and then she had sent, I think, with all her orders. Now they have like a little sampler, which is super cute, but I really wanted to get these a gold half buck, not half boxes but little event stickers. So I got a couple of these to work with there’s like a purple and and green, and then I have the bigger ones as well.

So I got two of the purple two of the green, but really what I’m going to be using is the gold glitter boxes here, because I do want to copy Jen’s stuff and put this little sticker up here and then I think for the bigger stickers. I want to put it you know somewhere on the front or maybe right here by the clasp or something like that so like, if I’m looking at it like this, I kind of know what it is versus like this way.

But the idea is one all of your envelopes. I’ve got a few, let me show you, but when all your envelopes are kind of sitting upwards, they’re going to all have the description of what is in there. So then you can just you know, grab which one you want and then go from there. So I’m really excited about this little object here. Oh I should say I don’t know if I said this. These are from Aaron Cohn and I will link the Erin Condren website down below, for you guys and when I bought these they were on sale, I’m not sure if the sale is still going on again, you can check the links down below, so I’ve actually been Out of this motive organization, for a little while – and let me show you guys what I’ve been using y’all are going to laugh.

I’ve been using plastic bags, so this one is labeled a celebration and like this one is labeled beauty. Yeah, it’s been a challenge, so I have been in this stuff for a little while, but you know what it’s been working for me and that’s really all that matters so they’re all just like in this big tote sitting. Next to me, is I’m going to pull all of them out, put them on my table here and then I’ll be able to write down my categories and then stuff my envelopes as I go, oh, and I also wanted to show you guys – I got these today In the mail as well, I got these in the mail as well, so these are get from Libyan Co.

I actually bought these because Jodi at life’s organized cast showed these on her blog and I was like I need those for sure these are from Libyan Cote and they’re, just like the little cash envelopes. So if you guys follow the Dave Ramsey system – or maybe you do like allowance for your kids or something like that or use cash for certain things – these are great little icons and I also got a ton of like fall themed things which I’m like super kind Of pumped about – because you don’t really see things in this colorway too often like the beige is Browns and like the burnt orange and the like nice cranberry, color, like from here over, is kind of my jam, the other stuff, it’s okay, but um yeah.

I got a lot of functional stickers for the Fall. I feel like with all my samplers and all that stuff, I’m always running out of stuff in the fall time. So I just got a bunch of these because I thought they looked really cute and you know need right: it’s a need situation, so let’s do the first one together as always, and then we will speed through the rest. So when you get these they most of them that I have, I think there was like, maybe one or two that didn’t have this.

They have like a little too you in the middle, and you don’t really need that. That’s just kind of maybe show the design, but the front part of this is completely clear, so there’s not like design on design. If that makes sense, and then I’ll snap that closed and the first thing I’m going to do is my category of shopping, as you can see, there’s like all these Target stickers. Currently, alright, I’m just going to start with one of these and write shopping.

Also, with the same idea, I’m going to do shopping right up here, alright, and I think what I’m going to do is. I want to start at the so there’s like a little design here and then the design kind of breaks right there. So I think I’m going to do it like right at the break. Maybe I don’t know Nona try to align the top of the word as much as possible. So now you see it says shopping. Oh, it’s kind of hard to see hold on guys.

Let me get you guys a little bit further in oh, it’s hard to see hold on move things out of the frame and then maybe it’ll show up yeah see now it says shopping so when it’s all lined up you’ll be able to see all the things That are in there, so I’m pumped about that and then this half box I want to put – I don’t know – maybe right here – maybe here yeah, maybe here’s better because I feel like if I put it like right here, my fingers going to like keep touching it All the time and it’ll, maybe like you, know, get kind of gunky, so yeah, that’s the first one and then let me get my bag out she’s such a funny way to do it.

I’m sure that there’s other like really great ways to store your stickers, but you know you’re just going to do what it works best for you. So then all my shopping stickers are in here and this category is done. I’m very excited about it and let me do the rest of them and I’ll speed. This thing up for you guys and hopefully I’ll find some good music for you too, all right, so I am all done, I’m so excited to show you guys.

The end result. Let’s use the Doyle one just for funsies and why isn’t focusing here? We go. Let’s focus up kids, alright, imma zoom, you out just a little bit for just a moment. On the very front I have the half box that I used from Christian designs. If you guys are interested in SCADA, 0, 7, 7, 7 and then at the very top, it says Doyle as well, and then this sheet was kad. 0. 0, 7, 8, 3 I’ll live I’ll, live no I’ll leave it.

The Christian designs link down below for y’all love the way that this works and then I just open it up and there is a ton of different. You know, doyle related stickers, and things like that. So I know that this is my doyle category and i’m not going to show you every single one, because that would be like way too long of a article and i’m sure y’all are not interested in that. So now, when I set up everything standing up in my raskov, it shows exactly what I’m working with so like this one: a celebration, beauty, military, functional health and then Doyle.

Those are the categories right here. Let me grab some more and I will show you my other ones, and here are some other ones to share Countdown’s household food, random, which basically, I have like emoji stickers in there, but there’s some other really random things in there that I do not fit into Any category and then travel and then my last few categories are shopping, sports, samplers, seasonal and work.

So that is it for how I am reorganizing my planner stickers, storage. I would love to know how you guys store your stickers. I’ve used the binder method in the past for a lot of my stuff, and it really only works for me with my Christian designs, stuff, just cuz, it’s already like pre-punched and everything, and I have quite a lot of it – and I’ve tried different kind of like Filing systems and those haven’t worked, and, of course you guys saw if you readed my article that had these ones in there.

It worked really well for a long time, but it just doesn’t suit. My needs anymore, but I think that’s like the fun of organizing, like I think, organizing spoons. Some people absolutely hate it, but I absolutely love it is. Sometimes it suits your needs for a little while and then you have to modify it to fit your life as it is right now. So this is how I am choosing to store all of my planner stickers and if, for some reason, I have a sheet, that’s a little bit bigger than this.

It’s very easy to just trim that down and then throw it in the little pocket envelope, which I love, oh and by the way. The back is pattern to. I don’t know if I said that also, I forgot to say the pen that I am using. It was the pilot ultrafine point permanent marker in the blue, and the reason that I used the Christian design stickers over any other sticker like that’s more papery, is her stickers are more of like a like a matte vinyl.

I go so I don’t know they’re kind of they’re not really glossy, but they’re, not matte, either. It’s very strange, but it’s an awesome sticker paper is, I felt like these would hold up as I’m like grabbing for things, and you know my nails are on things or whatever, like just the paper ones, get a little bit scratched up and they’re, not as durable When I’m using it for something like this, that I’m going to be grabbing all the time, so I thought that these would be really good and they held up really really well in this fashion.

Before so – and I there’s like nowhere on any of these – and I was using these all the time so anyway, that is going to be it for me. Thank you so much for reading. Let me know what your storage methods are down below feel free to thumbs up the article if you liked it subscribe. If you want to be part of the fde family – and I will see y’all in the next one – bye guys well folks, it’s time to kick it old-school.

Mileage Tracker Setup | 2019 Business Planner |#ECDeluxeMonthlyPlanner

First I’ll tell you about the business planner in a moment, so I’m going to be using this. This actually came with a planner that I got already, but it didn’t come with this specific planner. This one came with my Erin Condren life planner for 2019.

It has the woven, wonder, pattern on it, I’m going to use it because I’m going to be making a little chart and then this pin is the pilot. Ultrafine point permanent marker and I’m going to be using this on some of my Christian design stickers, which I’ll show you in just a moment and then also this Erin Condren, dual tip marker, which is why my finger is blue at the moment, because I just filmed Another article before and tried to clean up something and made him whatever um and then also I have this washy sample from my shop link is below as well as a little coupon code if you’re interested – and this is kind of like a transportation washi, I believe, Is what I ended up, calling it, and then I have this sheet from a coffee break planner that has like these little road stickers and then some little cars, which I think is awesome.

I’m also going to be using these two sticker sheets from chrissy and designs, and I will link her shop below as well as everything all the other sources that I’m using today, including the pins. And this is kad – 0, 0, 2, 3, 2. And then I’m almost out of this sheet, I always get like really excited when I finish a sheet, I’m not going to finish the sheet today, but I get very excited. I know some people feel really really sad when they finish a sheet, but I feel the complete opposite.

So this one is kad: 0, 0, 4, 8, 5 and then the planner that I am currently using for my business is an Erin Condren, deluxe monthly planner and I got the 12 I got. It only comes in a 12-month version. I’m trying to like get my words right. It only comes in a 12-month version, but I did get January through December and I got the maximum amount of notes pages possible and I believe it was a hundred and twenty.

Don’t quote me on that, but you could get a ton of notes pages. I will also leave links below to all the other things that I have set up in this plan. Basically, half the planner is notes pages and I have done a bunch of other tracking setup in those notes. Pages are ready, so, let’s get on to the article. So I’m going to start by using the washy and actually, let’s, let’s move some things around and make it a little bit easier for everybody to see make sure the whole class can see.

Oh, don’t zoom out, you got ta zoom in okay, perfect, alright! So this is like a little road scene and then I use this little bookmark from Chris or not Christian today, as well whoo all right start over again. I use this little bookmark from Erin Condren. It’s just one of those snap in ones there you go. I’m just kind of smoothing out the washi all right, and then I thought underneath that this little road, washi you’re, not washing about Road strips sticker from coffee break planner, would look really really cute and I think it’s about the right size, even though I I realized On the washi there on a road, but when I have things like arty in my arsenal, I love using them up.

It’s like one of my favorite things. Oh there’s like a little tail there we go, oh, that I feel like that. Just like really defines it a lot more. I like that a lot very cute, okay, so on to the tracking I am going to be putting in a few different things, I’m going to use oh darn it – maybe I won’t use these Bert Bert Bert. Actually, yes, I can still make it work. I was going to use the purple, but then there’s no purple in the washi.

I thought that there was a little bit of purple, but it’s more like a primary color situation, but there is there’s some blue. So I’m going to use this blue and then I’ll use some other colors here, so I’m going to put in date destination miles and then, like a total like a cumulative total at the end actually know, I’m suddenly used the same sheet, but just like at the Same type of sheet, but just a different one, if I want to use, I think I’m just going to use the yellows like something in this spectrum of the yellows, because I got that little ambulance right there, okay, so now I have them all written down.

So, let’s peel these a bad boys off I’m going to put the date on the left hand, side there. We go took a moment to peel off here and then we’ve got the destination, I’m just kind of centering it in the middle of the line, because I’m going to do a little something in a moment and then I’m going to take total and put that at The very very end can I just see how much space I have to work with here, I’m going to kind of hang, I’m going to hang this one over just a little bit because the miles are going to get you know bigger as the year goes on And then miles will just go right over here.

That is, crooked. Okay hold hold on all right, not crooked anymore. At least I don’t think so I mean you guys will tell me in the comments. I am sure what I think I’m going to do is I’m going to use another one of these strips cuz. You know if you have it, why not use it and I’m going to use this line as a guide for myself actually hold on. I keep messing everything up today. All right hold on I’m going to use.

Do this over one more time, just a little bit over and awesome. Think about coffee break planner stickers is, they are matte removable and I have removed stuff from like eight months ago with really like no issue, and it not. You know coming up on my paper or anything like that. The paper didn’t like rip off or anything like that, and I can still use the sticker, which is kind of cool. So I am going to make a little line on here.

So I’m going to be using my Erin Condren, dual tip marker and I open up the wrong side. We are going to use the fine point for this. All that we’re going to just put that up there for a moment. All right move this little guy over. I’m also going to use this sheet from Christian designs. It is the K ad is 0. 0 is 7 5. I’m going to be used this little yellow a sticker. That’s got some polka dots in there and just write mileage tracker on here.

All right, I’m just going to plop this up on the top there and I think I’m going to use 2 of these little blue cars. Also from that coffee break planner thing and then just put these two little blue cards on there. Cuz there’s a blue car here. You know you guys know. I, like my consistency and know my car is not blue. Oh my gosh, I’m! So sorry you were not in the frame. Oh I’m horrible! I’m sorry guys this whole time once in a while.

I should look up at the viewfinder I mean just once in a while, but clearly I am a failure, but now you can see what I was working on. Oh my gosh, I feel so stupid whoops. It up see. Oh well. I hope you guys could forgive me also. I just noticed this. I love this little blue car. I’m going to put this next to this little destination too cuz. You know cuteness and whatnot. Ok now I now I’m done after you guys didn’t see any of this stuff that I showed great.

This is fabulous alright, so I’m going to move this little guy down here, it’s just kind of off camera at the moment. Alright. So this is my mileage tracker for my business planner for 2019. If you guys track mileage, let me know how you do it like if you do it in a decorative way like this, I know, there’s like apps and stuff like that, that you can do on your phone, but if you track it in like a paper way, Let me know in the comments down below what you use.

Also, if you have any questions, let me know down below, I will link all the sources as well as my nail color. I get a lot of questions on my nails recently, so I will leave that in a link down below for you guys as well, if you, like, the article, make sure to give it a thumbs up, feel free to subscribe. If you’d like to join the fde family – and I will see you guys in the next one – bye guys well folks, it’s time to kick it old school

Plan Without Me | April – May | Erin Condren Life Planner

I have not a film to plan with me in a really long time, because I’ve been noticing that when I get home from work I need to just like decompress and I’ve really been just planning after I get home and kind of doing it throughout the weeks. I don’t really forget anything so yeah, I just haven’t done anything on camera, but I wanted to show you guys some of my weeks for the last about month or so before I get started if you’re new, to my blog.

This is what I use. This is an Erin Condren and a life planner in the luxe cover. I know that I just filmed a article sharing the regular life planner. Where is it it’s over here hold on? Let me show you so this is the new coiled life planner. I will throw that article up in a cart for y’all, and then I also because I can’t make up my mind got a neutral binder as well, and I will also throw that up in a card for you guys if you’re interested, but that’s what’s currently on The website, I’m not sure if they have Lux covers this year.

I really haven’t looked too hard at the website, but anyway, this is what I have been using for 2019. So it’s my on-the-go life planner and I use the hourly layout. I’ve been a fan of the hourly layout ever since it came out, and I don’t know I don’t know if I’ll ever go to a different layout – maybe maybe not I don’t know, but anyway, I just wanted to kind of share with you some of my layouts. This is probably going to be like a really short article.

I don’t know so anyway. This is April 1st through April 7th, and you know just have basic week – didn’t really do much after work clearly, and then I think I put some of these on my Instagram. I’m not sure my Instagram is down below if you guys want to check it out and then we’ve got April 8th it’s through April 14th and yeah. I did a lot of like stuff for my brother week. I remember that or that weekend I should say yeah and then on April what was the April first yeah these two days April, 1st in April 2nd.

We had like a really bad snowstorm, so yay good thing. I can like work from home if possible, all right and then moving along. We have Monday April 15 through a Sunday April, 21st and yeah. I didn’t really do much. I had some training to deal with and I had a co-worker’s birthday on that Friday. So I stayed late to decorate and then you know who went off and did things wasn’t feeling so hot on the 20th, and so I slept so that’s great and then I planned on the 21st and then this I did nothing.

This is how some of the week’s look you guys like, I feel like it’s important for people to know that are like on Instagram or YouTube, or just any social media platform that, like your weeks, sometimes you just don’t do them you just don’t do it because You just don’t have time all right. You know I I’m trying to get away from saying you just don’t have time to you’re, just not making time for it and that’s like more truthful for me in my life than it is for anything else, and then the next one I’m going to show you Is a little aggressive, so here we go um.

This is my go wild week and there’s a ton of different stickers. I did work Monday and Tuesday. My mom came in from Florida. She was here to read the little Doyle dog while I was out plus she has her own home here and wanted to get that ready for her season so anyways. I have a lot of different things on here. There wasn’t this many things to begin with, because there was a few things I had to put in.

Like I don’t know other other stuff, I didn’t really know about. Plus you get so much swag at go wild and I will leave my go wild playlist up in a card for you guys, if you’re interested in reading some of that, but for all the things that are like kind of go wild related. I like to put those stickers on my go wild week, so this is my only like super, like kind of no white space planning a little bit, I mean it is here cuz I worked but but yeah.

So I don’t know it’s just cute and fun and why not – and I still don’t know the next year’s location – I’ve had so many questions about that. Don’t know they didn’t announce it this year. So I’m like chomping at the bit to know when it’s going to be and where it’s going to be. So where is usually the question that gets answered first and then when comes later, but maybe they’ll announce it all at once.

I mean who the heck knows. All right and then so we have May 6 through the 12th and this week sucked. So so I got back from go wild on this Sunday and then this Monday. I took off because I just knew that I wanted to spend some time with my mom and I had the day off and just to kind of like unpack and laundry and just get kind of my life back together. And then I went to work on Tuesday, which was awesome because it was our Taco Tuesday, so we did like a big potluck which is really really fun and then Wednesday morning I woke up and I was like death.

I was so incredibly sick turns out. I had the flu and that just really sucked and then Thursday morning, at 4:00 a.M. I had to take my mom to the airport, which was so much fun when I’m still sick and thankfully she was in the car with me to tell me where the heck to go, because I was just like so not. I don’t know alive so anyway. After that, I did stop in to work because it from the airport back to my home.

Work was on the way, so I just did a couple of things like super early in the morning. I think it was there like 5:15 or something I just worked for like an hour. I had to just get some paperwork filled out and do all that good stuff, and then I went back home and I went to bed. Oh, I actually went to the grocery store cuz. I needed more cold medicine and they’re open 24 hours in my area, so that was that was good and then Friday I was still super super sick yeah it just it just sucked so anyway, and then I mean I did a little planning.

I did some laundry. I organized my swag and then I love this little quote. It says it back the up, sprinkle tips today. It’s not that today, that’s kind of how I felt like the entire week and then I slept basically all day on Sunday Mother’s Day. I did call my mom and talk to her a little bit but yeah just not great, and then this is actually this week. So this is Monday May 13 through Sunday May 9.

I’m right here and yes, I did go to work on Monday and I think I pushed it a little too hard. So I did work a little bit on Tuesday and then I was working from home actually and then I just emailed my boss and one of my co-workers on my team and I’m like. I need to go home well or not. Go home but like go to sleep because I was already home, so I worked from home a little bit and yeah basically slept all day, and then I got my EC order that day, which was great, but I didn’t really do anything with it.

Anyways so, and then Wednesday was another sick day. Unfortunately, I got a simply gilded delivery, which was awesome, and I did a little bit of organizing in my closet, which was good, but you know it’s like it was the like all this sick time. It’s like takes so long to do like the most mundane things like taking a shower. You know normally takes like 5-10 minutes, not even and it’s like you’re in there for like 25 minutes, because it’s just like you’re moving like a sloth like I’m moving so slow.

But, yes, everything takes a lot longer anyway Thursday. I went to work. It wasn’t great, but I went anyway and it was fine and then on Friday went to work and that was good. I went to Trader Joe’s and KUB. I did a little face mask which was awesome and then yesterday was definitely a lazy day, and I love this and says if it requires the pants. It’s not happening. Basically, that’s like my entire weekend.

This weekend I got the laundry done. I updated some stuff in PayPal and I love this just go the to sleep because I had to take a nap and then I planned a little bit last night. I’m filming I need to edit a little bit and then I’m going to do some meal prep for the next week and then I do have a little bit on this week. So far, so I made this, I didn’t make this sticker. I should be more clear, but it was in one of those Erin Condren books and then I put the little the time is now on there.

I thought that was really cute. My co-workers still on vacation for these two days and then y’all Sunday May 26 is the favorite Mama’s birthday. So she is turning 70 and I won’t see her. Unfortunately, but then I will see her the following week, because her and my dad are going to be driving from Florida to Minnesota next, the the next week after this so yeah I’ll, give her a call. I know she’s got a couple of things going on that day, but yeah the favorite Mama’s going to be the big 700, but anyway, that is my week I or my weeks.

I wanted to just kind of share this with you guys. I know I haven’t been really good about, like taking pictures and stuff like that, which I totally should be, but I’m not, I think I need to just I don’t know, share some photos of this stuff. I don’t think I have so. I think I think it’s time to share some pics of this on the internet and tag who I can remember um. I will leave a link or not like not a link, but several links down below as to some of the sticker and washi shops that I have been using and loving in the previous spreads that I just showed you.

2018 Budget Planner Setup

I know I’ve been like really lacking with the budget articles lately, but since I like, taking a little bit of a step back from YouTube and finding out what I do want to share and don’t want to, share budgets have been kind of a part of that. But I do want to have like budget related content for you guys too so anyway.

This is a erin condren, monthly, deluxe, planner, yep or deluxe monthly planner. Sorry, I opted to pay a little bit more and get a whole bunch of notes pages in the back. I believe some erin condren links down below if it’s your first time ordering through erin condren. There is a link where you can sign up and get a $ 10 coupon code emailed to you. If you place your order and once your order ships, I actually get a $ 10 off like redeemable voucher code as well, so yeah also there’s another link that is just directly to the erin condren website, and that is an affiliate link.

So I just like to be upfront, but it really helps support me and my blog, if you use that to you, know, check out and whatnot so anyways, I’m not really going to go like into this too much. I already have another article on this, and here is how I’m going to set it up. I want to do like one month with you guys or maybe a couple of months with you guys and just kind of show you what works for me and my brain, and maybe it will help you I don’t know so anyway.

I am going to use these I’ll put that to the side it’s going to become apparent in a minute, so these are the let’s see floating florals stylized sticky note pad there’s 30 of them and they are adhesive on like a little less than half of it. So I’ve actually never used these before, but I thought this would be really really great to put over on this like little side bar here and the reason being is, if things are coming up in that month, that you know about it’s easier to budget for them.

If you like, you know, have it written down, so even something as simple as like birthday: parties like cuz. Obviously, people have birthdays, but not everybody has like a party. You know. So I’m going to put this right on the side here and then I’m going to put in you know anything that I know about for the month of January, which I don’t know of anything in January. That’s like an expense. That’s coming up! Oh no! What I do I do know what’s coming up um.

My dog needs some medication in January, so we’ll put in oil meds and then this will be basically my running list. So if I think of something in January or if I commit to something in January, then you know I have I have this down. So I know to put some of this stuff in my budget and then the next two pages is where, like I put my budget stuff so yeah also, these sticker sheets are from coffee break planner and I’m basically obsessed with these.

Hence the weird little tweezers, but I do like to use these to like indicate my paydays. You can get ones from her. These are transparent, dots. You can get ones from her that are all one color. I was going to say flavor, that’s not right, Emily or you can get like the multicolored one. So I’m going to work on this one just because I want to use green. But if I run out I’ve got another sheet here, so I don’t know.

I just kind of fold the paper a little bit take the little thingy majiggy out and put the date in and now I don’t remember what date I get paid mm-hmm all right hold on. Let’s take a little break and well, if I’m going to figure this out all right, so that didn’t take as long as I thought, but my first payday is going to be the fourth. So let me actually zoom you guys it. I can kind of show you whoops of what I do a little bit, so I like to kind of line it up as well as I can like over the date and then push her down and that’s what I do and then with this I just kind Of peel it off like that, and then I get paid every other Thursday, but I hate when you lay these down and they were like kitty Wampus or I didn’t land right cuz.

Your fingers are so big, but man, the tweezer game, so good. So good. You guys so this is basically how a month is going to look for me, I’m going to put all of my things in and then I’ll come back, and I will just share with you guys. You know some of my other expenses that I have coming up and all of that stuff too. And oh, if you’re interested in between the pages is this page to the left, this page to the right and then there’s a dot grid, page and then you’re into February.

So I’m going to work on February and then I’ll be back! Oh okay! So now I’m into December, let’s go back to February and we’ll kind of talk. I didn’t really put in many things that I, like can think of off the top of my head, that I know of that are going to be coming up expenses, but I just wanted to share what it looks like so far. It’s very bare-bones. This is my sheet of my coffee break planner stickers.

I do have a couple left, so that’s actually very exciting if I wanted to which I may actually do, is um go into like this page of 2018 and put them in like here into here. Maybe right yeah, I might do that. I might do that too hold on. Let’s do that real, quick all right, so I used exactly as many greens that were in here and I used up a full sheet Wow all right, so this actually looks really nice.

I didn’t really bother with doing 2017 because it’s not really relevant to like what I’m working on in this participate: vigor planner um but yeah. So let’s go back to February. This is what it looks like like. I said I don’t really have any like coming up expenditures that I know about in February. This is what my March looks like, which is one of the I like to call them the magic months, because they have three paydays, which is really awesome.

So I love those months. I didn’t really have anything specific in that month that I know of, but what I’m going to do after this article is done because my actual budget planner from 2017 isn’t with me, I’m going to go back and look at the different months that I have obviously Budgeted and know certain things and I’m going to look at my budget and see if there were other expenses that I just can’t think of off the top of my head, like what I’m thinking about right now is like travel or like any upcoming, like annual things That I just know are going to be happening.

Here’s my April again, nothing exciting. It gets more exciting. You guys! Don’t worry here we go, here’s may go wild is on there I’m kind of excited. However, I haven’t gotten a ticket yet cuz they haven’t gone on sale. As of me filming this, so I’m hoping I can snag a ticket here, they’re really really hard to get so I’m not sure but go wild. Is I think, if I remember right, it’s like Thursday, Friday Saturday Sunday like the first week, I’m pretty sure, maybe the second I’m pretty sure it’s the first though anyways, so that is an annual planner conference and I’ve never been before.

I think this is the third one and I really really want to go so anyways, so that’s happening and May hopefully I get to go and then in June I’m going to Alaska I’m going on a cruise with my mom and my aunt and I’m super excited. We’re actually flying into Vancouver and then taking the cruise ship up to Alaska and yeah, I’m going to be gone for quite a bit of days, but yeah. I’m really really excited for that and then also Doyle’s like annual vet visit is typically in June kind of like the end of June.

Typically, so it’s just nice to kind of budget in for that and then July I don’t have anything that I can think of, but in August I have the State Fair, because hello, the State Fair, is amazing and you definitely need to budget for that, because Wow And I have my like: Auto tabs are typically due at the very end of August into like early September. So I like to put that kind of in my August budget, regardless of kind of when it comes out, and then this is another one of those like magic months, so that’s exciting and then in September I don’t have anything.

I don’t think I had anything on October, either no nothing in October and then come November. I like to prep for holiday gifts. So actually right now is I’m just in the very beginning of December, and I’ve got like two more things. I need to get for holiday gifts and it’s just gift cards at Target, so I figured just next time I was at Target. I would just go pick up a couple of gift cards, which is probably going to be today to be completely honest, but all of the actual like gifting I already have so I like to get that all done by November, because I really don’t want to go Out shopping in December, at all I mean obviously I’m going to go out to like you know, go get food and stuff, but I just don’t like to be at the stores, if at all possible, and then in December I don’t know what I’m doing for my Holiday plans this upcoming 2018, obviously 2017 s like holiday.

You know weeks have not happened yet, so I’m not really sure what the plan is. So I’m not sure if I’m going to be going to Florida to visit my parents if they’re going to come here, you know what the plan is so anyway, but I’m just going to you know, leave it there and then I once I know kind of what’s Happening, I can just start writing stuff down, even if I find out like next week, something’s hex that’s happening in like July.

I can go back to July and then write it down. So then I kind of know – and it prompts me to say: oh that’s right and if it’s something big like say, like my Alaska trip, I’m already kind of budgeting for that right now, anyways, so it’s kind of just one of those bigger expenses. That’s not like! Oh, it’s just like an oil change, or it’s just whatever and as I was actually putting in these little dots, I was kind of thinking to myself when I was you know using these that it would actually be kind of cool like if you’re going to like A dual income household or say you have a couple of jobs that you could actually use like the green.

For I mean I like the green just because it’s like signifies money, but if you wanted to like say it’s like you and your husband and you want to use like yellow for you and you know orange for him and then maybe you have a second job Or he has a second job or another stream of income. You could use like the blue, like just so. You knew what was happening, but you can use these little transparent, dots really for anything in your planner, but using a tweezer is like a total GameChanger.

So it doesn’t get like also so kiddie Wampus on there, but anyway I’m going to stop blabbing now but yeah. I just wanted to kind of show you guys what I was working on for this year. Hope you guys enjoyed the article if you have any great tips or ideas of how to kind of just set up your monthly budgets for the following year. Please, let me know in the comments below I love to always hear the feedback from you guys.

I will leave links below to all the products that I used and thank you guys so much for reading. If you liked the article make sure to give it a thumbs up – and you can subscribe for more – and I will see you guys in the next article bye guys

Donation Tracking 2018 | #ECLifePlanner

I wanted to share how I track my donations from my home. This is my tracker for 2018. This has been set up in my planner for a little while since 4:17 – and this is my 2018 – I had to think about it for a second. I’ve been doing a lot of articles for 2019. Currently – and this is my on-the-go life planner in the hourly layout – and these are just a couple of notes – pages that are in the back so like I said this has been set up for a little while this washi, I actually grabbed out my little bobbin.

This is from my shop if y’all are interested, the information is down below and these stickers, like the little flag stickers, are all from Erin Condren. If I remember right so what I like to do is I like to use the dash method for things? What I usually do is I just give this piece of paper or actually like give my whole planner to my text, professional and she figures out how much things are worth.

I know that if you do your own Texas, I think that there is a chart on. Maybe like TurboTax or some other online sources that are reputable, that you can actually see what the dollar amount is for things. These are like very generalized things if it’s like a really specific item that I know is worth a lot of money, like maybe like a crock-pot, would be more like I put like kitchen tools, because it’s like like serving spoons and whisks and egg timers, and, like Things like that, that you know a kitchen like it’s a kitchen tool, but if it was something bigger, like I said, like a crock-pot or something like that, that probably be worth a little bit more monetary value.

I would list that specifically so in the spring I did a big clean-out and that was on 417 for the Epilepsy Foundation, and these are all the items that I had donated actually just recently on July 31st, I had another pickup and you know you get these Little cards in the mail, I’m not going to show you the front side, because it has my under a sauna but yeah. So you know I just did another pick up and I’m going to just put in all the things that I donated, which are kind of similar to what I donated before, but there’s a couple little differences.

What I’m going to do is I’m going to just skip a line because it just makes my brain feel better and I’ll just put in the date that it was picked up. So it was picked up on the 31st and it the same foundation, the Epilepsy Foundation and I put in their web address. So you know, if I have questions or my tax professional has questions come tax time. We can always look that up. So let me write down all the things that I donated this time around.

Alright. So here are the items that I donated this time around, so I had two serving trays that I donated. I had one mixer like the little handheld mixer organizers. I had quite a few I had like 15, it wasn’t like 15, it was actually 15, so I’m going to put those in and then, as for baskets, I had six baskets. You know I’m a sucker for any good, organizer or basket, but I’m really trying to like trim down what I have keep all the really good stuff and the stuff that I know I’m going to be using again and just really going in and like purging things.

I had three pairs of shoes that I ended up donating and then I had a ton of pants randomly, so I had twelve pairs of pants so I’ll put that in and then I had a ton of tops like I don’t know what happens, but it’s like Every time I get one of these little cards, I’m like oh, I don’t really have too much. I’m like oh wait, never mind. I have a ton, so I have these big black, like you know those like big black, like leaf bags or whatever, like the garage bags, I’m like okay, I’m going to go around the house and see if I have anything I’m like.

Oh my gosh, I have so many things, so I don’t know what it is about tops, but I feel like I have like way too many, but it’s good to purge some of those too. So I know I had a ton of them last time and I had about the same amount this time, so I had 30 tops this time. I also denoted sweaters. I don’t know if that makes a difference, but for me I actually wrote it down. So I figured why not just do that as well, so I had six sweaters that I ended up donating and winter gear, so winter gear to me is like hats, mittens gloves anything you need like for the winter, so I actually had 12 hats.

They were actually unused and I was going to donate them to somewhere and then I totally forgot and they just sat in the back of my trunk forever in my car. So I was like you know what this is time to get rid of them, and then I had a bunch of officee items. I had some writing tools. I had some pads of paper. I had some filing system things. I also had a couple of other things. Like that would be kind of more office related, so I kind of lumped those all into one, because the value of the items were kind of around the same, but I had quite a few of the items, as I’m sure you could imagine.

So I am going to be putting in a lot of dashes here all right, so I had 27 office items, and that is all the things that I donated this time around. So that is how I have been tracking things in my 2018 planner. However, I do want to show you guys something that I showed in a previous article and I will link that up above it’s actually in my new planner. This is my new planner for 2019 and I got the it’s like the hardcover.

The lux cover in the colorful woven wonder pattern with the gold foil and the gold foil, and this is in the hourly version. I’ll show ya. This is the hourly version. I put the tape on there myself. Let me move this out of the way real quick, but I have been setting up like charts and different things in here, and I wanted to show you guys what I was working on and I did show this in a previous article and I believe it was My 2019 Erin Condren move in so I, if I haven’t already I’ll link it up in a card and I’ll link it down below, for you guys too.

So this is my monthly tracking for 2019. I took inspiration from Jen at Jen plans. I will leave her information up in a card and down below so check out her blog. If y’all are interested, I wanted to get more diligent about doing certain things and letting some tasks happen on a monthly basis. Some of these, you don’t need every single month, but I’ll just go through the list, really quick and then I’ll kind of talk about the donation part in just a moment.

So I have budget wash bedding and blank kids. Wash windows clean out, fridge, clean out freezer clean out, pantry clean out garage air filter that doesn’t need to be done every month in my home, but it’s good to have that in there culligan service test smoke detectors again, not every month, but that’s all right. Organized files, donations, which is we’re going to talk about in a moment, toothbrush facemask, clean out car car wash and oil change.

So there’s a few different items on here that are going to really help me with my donations for next year and I’m going to be setting up something really similar to this in this planner. So but I think I’ll just wait until that happens. I don’t know. I’m not really sure how that’s going to work washing all of my bedding in blankets. I mean I wash my bedding all the time but like the blankets, it’s like all the blankets that are downstairs on the sofa and all the blankets that are in every other room that maybe dog hair gets on and things like that.

So if there’s issues with any of the blankets say that they’re getting a little bit dingy – and maybe my style has changed – maybe there’s like a little rip or something like that in them, then I can decide if I want to put that possibly towards my donations. If they’re worth recycling, there might be a time where it’s just garbage, I mean I don’t know, but that’s going to really help me with my donations and then also cleaning out the garage.

That is also going to help me with my donations as well, because a lot of times things go into the garage to die like there’s, there’s so many things in my home that I’m, like, oh I’ll, put it in the garage I’ll like deal with it later. I have so many things right now currently that are in my garage that I’m like I haven’t even opened up that cardboard shipping box. I should probably do that, like I literally haven’t done it, so I think it’s about time to deal with things.

So if I’m dealing with things on a monthly basis, then I know hey, I’m not using this or hey, maybe I’ll keep it for another month and then, if I you know say it’s in April and then I’m in May and I’m like you know what I’ve Waited a month, I don’t even like the item anymore or it’s not working for me any longer, it’s time to go into the donation bin. So I’m going to be doing that for next year, pretty diligently and then ask for donations.

I’m not necessarily going to donate something every single month. But I think, what’s going to be awesome is that I will have a system to look at and visualize and make sure that I’m actually doing what I’m supposed to be doing when it comes to donations. Also in my garage I’m going to be setting up like I have a bunch of those like big sturla, I think they’re Sterlite bins and I use them in my crawlspace for organization.

If you guys are interested in which ones I got I’ll link it up in a card or not in a card I’ll link it down below. I’m sorry and I use them for all my like holiday, decorations, storage and all of my, like other miscellaneous storage, and I have a couple of extra bins. There’s like just sitting in my garage. So I think I’m going to keep those bins in the garage and have them for donations and then, once I come across an item in my home that either isn’t working for me or maybe the fit, isn’t right on the clothing item anymore or the shoes.

I’m just not into any longer or whatever it is. I can just put it in that bin and the next time I get one of these cards right here then I can either call them for pickup or I can drop stuff off at my local thrift store or something like that, and then I can clearly denote In my tracker, what I’m donating and when I’m donating it and where I’m donating it to so, I really feel like this is going to keep me on task and keep me on track for 2019.

I mean 2018 we’re more than halfway through, but I’m probably going to have more donations, but it’s just nice to kind of go through things and if it’s like, if something isn’t working for you pass it along to somebody that it will work for or just donate It because someone else is hopefully going to buy it from that organization and they will receive funds for your donations. Oh and if y’all are wondering, I don’t have little boxes here, because I ran out of the right color of stickers.

I actually just got a shipping notification. I think it was today saying that my package was on its way, so I just ran out of stickers, but they will be full by the time in 2019. Happens. Alright. So this is it for my article to show how I’m tracking donations for 2018. I would be so interested to know how you guys track your donations. Do you have like an app? Do you write it down like I do to have like a spreadsheet on Excel? How do you track your donations for the year so tax time? It becomes a little bit easier to muddle through all the paperwork.

Let me know in the comments down below what works for you and your family. That is going to be it for me today feel free to thumbs up the article if you liked, it also feel free to subscribe. If you want to be part of the fde a family, and you can hit that little red Bell notification, if you want to be alerted when I get new articles up for you guys but yeah, that’s it hope. You guys are having a wonderful day and I’ll see you in the next one bye guys well folks, it’s time to kick it old school

This is the pack of stickers that it comes with we’re going to get into this in just a little bit, because I believe that this goes with this, so I believe that you can. You should be able to personalize this. I asked for it with no personalization, because clearly I don’t have a kid, but I will be gifting this to someone in my life. This is a really cool one that just has some planets and has some silver foiling, and it says my dreams are out of this world very cool before we move on.

Let’s look at this next to a regular, Erin, Condren life planner. I have my new one sitting right over here. The size is the same, but I want to show you guys the coil difference so clearly, there is quite a bit of difference in the coil, not as many pages, but still the same 7 by 9 size. So yeah, alright! So let’s open this up, I have an open day yet guys. Alright, let’s get you in the frame alright, so it’s just a regular cover that has the same like a little dashboard right here.

That says all about me cool, and this is like. Oh, this is like a guided one.

All these are so cool very nice. So this is like all about the kid. Like my hobbies, my favorite place to visit my favorite song. Oh, this is cool like for school and stuff, like they have a little reading log. The date title and pages read: that’s nice ooh and gold trackers.

So, even if you started in like July, you can use this page first and then this page, you know like later very cool ooh, an allowance tracker, very, very nice. If you guys don’t do allowance at your house, you could always just tape these two pages. Together. You know what what are you talking about, what I’m saving for what I want to spend, what I want to save and what I want to share with others books.

I want to read nice, okay and then the very front. This is like a drawing page and in the very front of the first month it says be kind, and I am kind two and then three different blank boxes and then we’ve got it. Oh, create your own cover design, your own planner cover in this space. Above all, right, I think this is where these kind of come in, so let’s open up this sticker pack get with it. I know I’m going to get questions as of right now I don’t know what the price is on this so, like I said when this article goes up, it will be live on the Erin.

Condren websites just go click on it and then all the pricing will be there. I’m sorry, I don’t know the price just yet. So this is the one for January. So, like you could put all of these in here or whatever, and this I don’t want to do this because I feel like whoever I give it to they might want to start it in a different month so anyway, but this little January, like fits perfectly over Here on this tab, okay and then this month it says morning routine evening, your own teen and then, if you have any birthdays this month and then it says, place monthly sticker here.

So you put your January right here and then you put in all your date. Dots wherever they go and then you’ll have like today is New Year’s Day. Today is Martin Luther King Day and then today is today is and it’s blank some happy birthdays and some blank ones, and then it has like important and then a bunch of decorative stickers right there and then over on this side. It has monthly goals, and then it says this month I saw I enjoyed something fun I did was and then make your own comic draw a story in the panels below right, what’s being said or big loud sounds, and the speech bubbles, that’s really cute alright and Then now we’re into the next month, so you get these for every single month and clearly you don’t have to go in.

Like order of you have to start it in January. You can start it whenever, but it’s got all these decorative stickers and it has like, like in March, it says day like saving times begin. St. Patrick’s Day April has April Fool’s Day Earth Day, like it has little things in there already in there.

If you like it and then in December, we’ve got more holiday, gifting things and then it says winter begins and Year’s Eve. This is so cute. I like that. It’s guided. I really like that. It’s guided because I think, as a kid I mean even as an adult. Sometimes you look at these planners and you’re like I don’t know what I’m going to do with this.

I really like that. It’s guided okay, let’s keep going because I think they’re a little bit different each month. So I want you guys to see everything and then be able to like make your own decision so things on my mind, you can draw a little something. That’s in your mind, and then still this page is still the same. Let’s see, I believe it is yeah, so the routines and the birthdays, and then this page is the same and then let me look okay, so this page at the very end of the month is the same.

I saw I enjoyed and fun things I did was so that’s kind of like a nice recap of the month and then on the next page, just something a little bit different. So it’s got like a little word find and then we are into this ooh create your own shoes. Oh wow. I need some new shoes, Oh create my own shoes, and then this is the third months and then in here. Oh, if I were a superhero, hmm, that’s pretty neat and then we’ve got more of these things and then what kind of planet you want to live on? Another planet, one cool, color, the shapes below to create the solar system.

Nice! Oh! This is very satisfying this little box. That says I did it, that’s exciting, alright and then I am and then finish the crow write. A word on the grid above to finish the same. Oh very neat and then we’ve got a secret message, very cool and then let’s see what got next ooh decorate your cake. Very hmm. This is fun. Oh, it says what is that put on your thinking, cap and finish the picture below.

Well, there can be so many things you never know all right into the next month. You class time fill in the speech bubble with what your favorite things are to do in school, very, very fun. I really liked art in school. That was probably my favorite thing to do, is creative stuff and then there’s a little maze with a treasure. At the end, very neat, all right ooh, my funny face – I can make a few of those, oh goodness, and that says, would you rather ooh? Would you rather have tentacles for arms or four legs? I don’t know, would you rather be invisible or walk through walls? I’d rather be invisible, would you rather travel by spaceship or by dinosaur? I don’t know they both sound, very interesting right and then we’ve got the next one who trace your hand, oh my hand fits in there.

I could trace my hand and then give this to someone that’d be weird. Oh goodness, and then let’s see another word find very cool. Oh, it has all the words down here. Let’s see ooh, let’s go team, ooh sports or whatever I create a banner for the team that you love to root for and then animal alphabet try to write as many animal names. You can think. That’s start with the letter, A through Z. Oh, that’s kind of neat alright and then some fun in the Sun drop.

What you like to do when you were outside and then tell a story: cool, Oh a tic-tac-toe. Yes, I love a good tic-tac-toe game, oh and then a coloring time. It’s like little toucan thing well, jungle, scene, and then that is it there’s nothing else in the back. There’s no stickers, but I mean you get a plethora of stickers right here, so I think you’re good on the sticker situation, but yeah that is it there’s also a couple of other things that they had sent over in the PR kit.

I’m not sure if this is a bundle on the website or not, but these would be some great add-ons for the kids sticker or the kids sticker. I’m sorry, the kids planner, clearly Erin Condren tooltip’ Marcos be fabulous for a lot of that coloring in and then we’ve got these, which are those puffy stickers. I’m not going to take these out because it’s just the one sheet, but this one has three sticker sheets and I don’t know if they’re all the same.

Let’s take a look see: oh they’re, all different, okay cool. So these are all foiled. So this is like an orange foil like it’s, not gold, it’s like orange. This one is like a purple foil, and then we have these more turquoise foils, which is really cool, and I also like that this is not super gender II. If that makes sense, I don’t even know, if that’s a word but it’d feel like if you have a boy or girl that they could really like this, no matter what the gender of the child I mean, I know that the majority of decorative planners out there Are women? Yes, but you know there are men.

I have a man friend that is a planner ryan from a man with the plans I’ll stick his blog up in a card for you guys. If you want to read him, but you know, I think this is just a really nice creative outlet, especially if you have a parent that plans. Your kids really want to plan too. It’s just something that they can have for their own and they can draw on it and they can, you know, mess it all up or they can make it all pretty or whatever they want to do.

I just think: that’s really nice. So I really like that. This is not specifically female-driven that it’s really it could be for any kid okay, so that is it for me. Thank you guys so much for reading my article about the new Erin Condren, kids planner. I think this is a great idea for lots of kids that might like this kind of thing, so you know your own children, I’m sure you’ll know if they’re going to you know be into this or not also makes a really fun gift as well, which is What I’m going to be doing with this, but if you have any questions, feel free to post them down below, and what do you guys think about the kids planner? Do you think your kids would be into it? Is this something that you think would be a great idea for kids? Let me know down in the comments below so anyway.

That’s going to be it for me. Thank you guys so much for reading, if you, like, the article, make sure to give it a thumbs up and feel free to subscribe, and I will see y’all in the next article bye guys well folks, it’s time to kick it old school

Weekly Planner Spreads | August 2019

I know I really don’t do plant with me type articles anymore. I will link my playlist up above if you would like to read you know. What’s been giving me a lot of planner piece recently is just kind of filling it in when I get home and making it really work. For me, if y’all are interested, I am using an Erin Condon condon, an Erin Condren, binder system.

This year. I have the Navy cover and I chose the hourly colorful version and I really like that you can. You know, take these pages out and stuff like that. Like it’s super helpful, you know when you’re trying to decorate – or you know when I’m right-handed. So if I’m trying to write something on here, like I don’t bump into this, I can just pop this little sucker out. So it’s really actually helpful for me so anyway, let’s talk about this week, so this week is July 29 through August 4, and this was a pretty alright week did a bunch of stuff and my mom and I were kind of getting stuff ready for Niagara Falls, Which you’ll actually see in this like planner, I guess you’re not going to actually see Niagara Falls in the article.

I’m sorry, if you guys want to see the Niagara Falls, article I’ll link it for you guys, so we chatted about it. On Monday, we already had this plan like last year and then I got the hotel booked and everything, so it kind of like figured out a plan, and then you know we kind of just like went from there. I’ve been having some problems recently. Unfortunately, some health issues, so I have been working from home.

It’s like digestive stomach problems, so you’ll, probably guys, will learn more about that in September, because I have some more doctor’s appointments and stuff scheduled that I need to take care of. So anyway. I’ve been working from home a lot recently because of that, because you know my just had to be close to a bathroom which is gross, but it’s part of life. You know also on the third, I went to Ryan’s apartment with Doyle and we had a great time and Doyle now owns his apartment.

So anyway, so that’s a good time. Oh and then I also released my ticket information for my 20 year high school reunion, which is coming up this October. So it’s coming up really darn fast. So anyway, that was this week and then we get into the week of the 5th through the 11th, and this was an OK ish week. I actually, on Monday, had hail damage on my vehicle at work, so that was interesting, went to girls night with my friends and we wouldn’t had well tacos.

I don’t know. I think I just had rice. I can’t remember anyway, and then the next day I made my hail claim with my insurance company and doing all that good stuff. The next day I had a migraine, so I had these are my little migraine. People things anyways, so that was kind of a crummy day. On the next day I had to work from home because you know my well stickers. I worked on my packing list that evening and I wrapped up a gift for a friend, and then this was a really bad day.

It was a sick day. My mom came over to help me with some things and tried to sleep. Couldn’t do it my brother? Actually came over later on that day cuz he had to pick up some mail, but the nice thing about that Jay was my friend’s daughter was born. Charlotte was born that day at 9:29, so it was very exciting and then the next day I did some laundry. I made my collab list: the actually the wild for planners sale is going on right now, but this article is going to go up probably way after this, but I was making kind of my list and then I took a nap because clearly I wasn’t feeling of The day before and started to pack my bags and then I went to the twins game for a little while we didn’t stay the whole time.

But we went to the twins game for a little while and then I did some meal prep, so yeah and then the next week, I’m actually in Niagara Falls. I had to contact my doctor about my problems, so I need to talk to him about test stomach issues migraines and my prescription refills, so we’ll get into that in the next week. This I worked from home these two days because I just was not able to deal that makes sense.

Then, on Wednesday I actually was in to the office that day, which is great Rand at the post office, and then I went to Ryan’s apartment to drop off little Doyle dog, because Doyle was hanging out with Ryan from a man with the plans for the weekend. So that was fun. My mom and I left on Thursday morning bright and early and drove to New York, but the we actually stayed in Ohio on Thursday and then we basically after lunch, we got to Niagara Falls.

Our check-in was at like 2:30 or 3:00 or something – and we got there like right at that time, so it worked out great. So we actually went to like a little Niagara Falls movie, which I totally recommend. We had some Chinese food that night and then we went up on this. Like looking pier area. I don’t know what that’s called is probably totally wrong, but we readed the light, show and fireworks which is really cool and then the next day it actually rained.

Quite a bit in the morning and then we went over to Canada. We went to a really great Italian restaurant called mamma mias, which was wonderful. It was recommendation from one of you guys and then you know, did a bunch of other little adventures in Canada and then came back. And then we went on me to the mist I got super burnt and then for dinner. We had went to Hard Rock and then on Sunday morning we started driving back to Minnesota.

So we just drove – and I just put in like food stuff because it was just like that’s all we did and then we stopped in Illinois for the evening and then our tolls total from like the beginning to the end, was 74 dollars and 40 cents. We should have just flew there anyway, so now with this week, which we’re in this is today we drove for part of the day, and then I picked up toil kind of later on in the afternoon.

It was about three four somewhere in there, so I was able to stop by Ryan’s apartment, which was kind of on our way home, and he and then I unpacked did a little bit of laundry and that was kind of my Monday and then on Tuesday went To work, which was great all that good stuff and then I went to Abra to get a Hale estimate and all that good stuff, and I had to email acuity, which is the insurance company that I have once I got the estimate and then the next day.

Unfortunately, I had to work from home again I did have an appointment with my doctor and we have a bunch of things that we are now going to be dealing with yeah. So then my mom and I actually went to Applebee’s that evening and then I had to go to Walgreens to pick up a prescription next day I worked from home as well, and then I had to make a consultation appointment for a surgery I need to have, And then I also this was the first day of the wild collab sale, which is right here and we’re currently in it.

There are a bunch of shops that I shopped at right away, and then there are a few today that I am going to shop as well, because I just can’t help myself plus I’ll, be doing a haul for you guys to the next day I had my Culligan service come into my home. They just come into my home a couple of times a year and maintain my unit and things like that. So they do that when I’m not home or sometimes I am home, but whatever they know how to get in, went to lunch with some co-workers and then helped out.

My HR person, with some false store apparel items, ran to Target to get some groceries and such, and then I got sick that night again, so that was no bueno. The next day I actually got my acuity check from here from my estimate so figured that out. So I ran to the bank and did my deposit. I also went to Walgreens cuz. I had another pickup and then there was a planner meet up at the maple grove library which I went to, and then I went to Olive Garden with Ryan, from a man with the plans and then today this is this morning.

I had to place an amazon order. There was just a couple things I was missing. I was supposed to be going to a brunch with the Minnesota trio, which is Ryan from a man with the plans and Jodi from life’s organized chaos. I will leave their blogs down below for you guys if you want to check them out, because you totally should how ever Jodie’s plans changed. She has been doing a ton of traveling for work and she had to leave a little bit earlier than expected.

So we were going to reschedule that, so it’s been we maybe sometime in September that we will get together. I had to drop off things at the lab and you can see what that is. Um part of the doctor thing and then today I am filming. Look at this, I can do this um. I already did my sublet guilded subscription box, my September budget. I actually just filmed, and my August spreads that’s what I’m doing right now so yay so anyway.

That is it for this article. I hope you guys enjoyed seeing all of my spreads for the month of August in 2019. I know I’m not really doing the plan with meas anymore, but I just really enjoy coming home and just filling in stuff or things I know about or whatever it’s just like really helpful for me and if you guys are interested, I will link up in the Corner my what’s, it called my planner piece of article.

I really talked about kind of the groove and what I’m doing this year and how it’s helping me quite a bit so anyway, I will leave that up there for y’all, but anyway I am going to get to publishing no uh-huh, taking this footage and putting it In my computer and I’ll probably be doing a little bit of editing this evening, not sure when this article is going to go up, but it’ll go up a fairly soon for you guys, hopefully within the next week or two, and also I need to do a Little bit more shopping today before the wild, collab sale ends so anyway, that’s it for me.
