Where did you buy your monthly planner from?

[O RLY]

I figure the cuter it looks the more likely I'll use it! Hey, its the truth. So, wheres yours from? I need something with weekly lists, some plain sheets for various notes, and whatever else.

I get one from Lilly Pulitzer every year. They're so cute, bright colors and fun patterns! They do come in different sizes, I usually get the medium!

I personally am a fan of the happy planner. Its sold at Hobby lobby, Joanns, Michaels etc. There are tons of ideas on pinterest on how to personalize it. There is also a wedding planning expansion pack you can buy and add to it

I use the Lily Pulitzer as well! Love the prints, and it's very functional too.

I like the Happy Planner too. Budget friendly if you use Hobby Lobby or Michaels coupons. I like how it has different sections that can be added. I love my cover and I like that it has rings. I follow them on IG and some people use them like a scrapbook. Mine is not that fancy but it's fun to see the cute ideas.

I just have a plain diary/notebook. I use the bullet journal style. I put a Mickey car decal on the cover of the one I have now...the one where he is peeking over the side. On another one I decoupaged a Hollywood studios map on the cover. I print out small calendars or write them out where I need them. I'll add stickers, washi tape, and doodle in it. This seems to work for me because I have never been able to find a planner that has exactly what I need...either too much stuff or not enough. Though I think I will go and google the ones mentioned here

I use a Kate Spade planner with Sew Much Craftibg inserts from Etsy.

I just bought a Happy Planner from Michaels... they have great coupons all the time. I got 40% off and I'm glad I can add months as I use it, so that I never have to transition from one planner to another.

I agree with @NinaBella, Erin Condren! This is the only time of the year they go half off, and mine is basically attached to me at all times. There are 3 different layouts to choose from, and you can even customize your cover with pictures and your name. I swear by mine.

Plus, if you need more motivation to plan, a million people on Etsy make stickers specifically to fit the EC planner, so you can decorate and make it really fun! There are also a lot of people who make Disney EC stickers, but that's just an added bonus

I guess I'm the only who uses a plain old desktop style calendar from Staples. It's $5 for the year and has all I need.

When I had to keep track of everything, I used an Amy Knapp one and loved it. Here's a link to one for August 2016-December 2017: http://www.amazon.com/2017-Knapp-Family-Organizer-2016-December/dp/1492634344/ref=pd_sim_14_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=61WZH-MfwrL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR115,160_&refRID=16CHMGTYQCQ9XQP6PE1B .
I tried all sorts of systems and this one suited me best. These days, we're almost empty nesters and everyone keeps their own calendar. We share a grocery app on our phones, so that anyone can add items or stop by the store and see what's needed. I also had a wall calendar from Sandra Boynton that had columns for each family member's name, so that we could see quite obviously if someone's scheduled activity conflicted with something else going on. I adored that calendar, too!

I just realized I posted Amy's spiral bound planner. She also makes a 7 hole punch one, and that's the one I used in my own notebook with other stuff - plain paper, dividers with pockets, a zip case for stamps and small items, etc.

I've used www.momagenda.com for years. This year I bought a Lily Pulitzer one for the 1st time and I do not like it as much. It's prettier but doesn't have as much in it.

 

[mckenk]

I absolutely love my Erin Condren planner.

 

[Shmily1]

I want an EC one but don't know what it includes and what style (vertical, horizontal, etc) I want. Any ideas?

I'll second going digital. I use Google Calendar and Our Groceries (for lists & tasks). The Our Groceries can be a joint account so multiple people can add to a grocery list from anywhere.

I agree with going digital. I use Google Calendar and send invites to others when it needs to be on their calendars too, set up reminders, I use grocery IQ which can also be shared with multiple users. Everything is in my phone/computer. I need to make a list of some sort, I use my notes or task list. I even have a packing list app on my phone, although I travel much more than I used to so I no longer need a list.

You can also color code calendars so you can keep kids separate/organized. And you can share calendars (I can see my husband's calendar). It makes it nice when trying to plan. And you always have it with you.
