As I'm sure you've seen on other blogs, the big talk around Twitter the past month or so has been
Erin Condren Life Planners. I use the calendar on my Droid, but I need something I can look at if I am on the phone and something that to me, is a little easier to use. That might sound dumb, but I am totally a pen and paper kind of girl. I love making lists, planning, and I am totally a type A personality. I couldn't pass up the Plum District offer, especially since I had some additional discounts I could apply towards my planner. It came in the mail today and I am in love! I am so excited to sit down after Nicholas goes to bed and start writing in all of the dates in his busy social life. This kid is almost booked through Christmas!
Yes, I did buy a pack of my favorite pens (other than my one true love, Sharpie pens, I've been told they bled through). I have written in almost every one of these already! Ha!
The other big thing has been to make a Home Organization Notebook. Mine isn't as fancy as others I have seen, but it works great for us.
I have a section on important information, emergency numbers, and health information. In the next section I have check lists and daily planners for my weekends. Obviously, I need to clean it out since this is an old checklist! Ha!
My next section is recipes: favorite, ones I want to try, and grocery lists.
I also have a section to keep up with Nicholas' shots, dr visits, and day care information. I also have a section devoted to Christmas Lists and Budget information and Birthday party ideas!
The last section is our weekly budget worksheets. My notebook is different from a lot that I have seen, but these are the main things I need to have to keep up with. I don't need daily checklists so to speak since I'm at work and I have a pretty consistent routine, but I do need weekend checklists. There are several other, better organizers out there, but this is just a glimpse at mine.
And because no post is ever complete without my favorite one year old...
