Life Planning

Today, the FedEx man brought me something I've been waiting for all month...

 Inside this beautiful box was...my life planner!

Allow me to explain. About a month ago, my friend, Nicole, posted a Plum District deal on Facebook. Plum District is kind of like Groupon and Living Social, but their deals cater to women - moms in particular. The deal that Nicole posted was $25 for $50 towards anything on Erin Condren's website. I'd never heard of Erin Condren, so I went over to her site to check it out. And I instantly fell in love. The fun designs, cheerful colors, and organization overload, had me at hello! More specifically, I LOVED the life planners. For the past year or so, I've been trying to go "green" and use my iPhone instead of a paper planner to keep track of everything in my life (not that there's a whole lot going on). Using my iPhone has been working fine, but there's just something about writing everything down, and seeing everything right in front of you. And color-coding things. Oh, how I love color coding things. So when I saw the life planner, I knew I had to have one.

The hardest part was choosing which design to get! I settled on the Fleur Feliz in Splash. I got to personalize it with whatever I wanted (I chose my name), and even opted for the two personalized notepads (which match my Life Planner, obviously). 

Now, I haven't started using it yet, and I'm not positive that this life planner is any different than a regular At-A-Glance DayMinder that you can get at any office supply store, but it sure does look better than anything you could pick up at Office Max.

There are tabs for each month, and the planner is organized by each week of the month. There are spots to add to-do's for the week, as well as weekly goals that you set for yourself.

There's also a couple of blank pages before each month.

Towards the back, there's more blank pages for notes.

And at the very back of the planner, there's a couple of folder pockets and a zipper pouch!

Talk about organization station! They even threw in a couple of freebies.

Personalized stickers and gift tags!

I can't wait to start using my life planner! If you're like me, and you love planning and color-coding things, this life planner might just be for you!

*This was not a paid endorsement. I'm just way too excited about a planner, and I wanted to share it with you guys!
