It is almost the new year and it is time to get organized and set new goals! I spent all morning yesterday purging out my closet!! I was going to do one side, but once I got going I decided to just keep going and get more done! I did all of the hanging clothes and my shoes. I need to do some built-in shelves and the drawers, but I feel like a new woman with a clean closet! :)
Today I am super excited to show you my new 2016 Planner…this is what is going to keep me organized next year!I love this new planner. It is made by a Mormon Mom and it includes everything that you need to keep yourself and your family organized. I had an Erin Condren planner last year and I loved it, but this one is geared to the Mormon family and I love it too! The website is called In The Leafy Tree Tops. You can order one for yourself there.I picked this cute whimsical cover, but there are several different covers that you can choose from. There are also several different planners that you can pick from a mom planner to a student planner to a simple planner!Here are some of the inside pages. These daily pages are similar to the planner that I had last year. There are places to plan your morning, afternoon and night, but there is also a place to check off prayers and scripture reading as well as places to put cute notes or reminders…you can doodle this up as much as you want to! :)I love this 2-page spread! I am going to use it for menu planning and my grocery list! You could also use it for an exercise tracker or anything else that you are keeping track of!These pages are perfect for the Mormon family! They are FHE planners and family council notes! I love that you can set goals and keep track of them from month to month! Now there is no excuses for not getting goals accomplished!These pages are to keep notes on Sunday lessons or to jot down some of those thoughts and inspirations. They even have the topics of the lessons for that month! This is the perfect study companion!At the first of every month there is a page that says: “How can I strengthen my relationship with:” and there are 5 different categories. I love that one of the categories is friends! How many times to we neglect to keep up our relationships with friends? We get so wrapped up with our families and we need to spend time with friends too!The first page of each month is a different beautiful page with a thought or the words to a song!
There are many other planning pages, such as birthdays, family responsibilities, financial management, emergency preparedness, daily, weekly and monthly tasks, and fun vacation planning pages, plus a whole lot more! I am so excited to get started with this 2016 planner! I love to write things down and jot down ideas. That dot on my i-phone just does not do it for me! I love to have everything laid out in front of me and to plan out each and every day! This planner is also my journal…each day I write down things I hope to accomplish and I usually check them off because I am weird like that. But I love that this new planner has places to record spiritual things too! I always save my planners and they really do reflect my personality and my dreams and goals!
Do you keep a planner or do you keep track of everything on your phone? I do a little of both because all of the pictures on your phone tell your story too!
Here’s to a new year! May it be the best one yet!
