Organization is something I crave, I love routine, I love knowing what’s ahead and feeling like I am in control of my day (and in theory, life). Wow! That escalated quickly… So now that we have admitted to being a complete control freak, here you have a little inside look into how I do just that; control like a freak. My personal planner, my life, my little leather companion that if I misplaced, I would be a lost kitten without.
Coming from someone who not only likes to feel a sense of daily direction, but someone who often bites off more than she can chew and double books herself, it’s absolutely key that I have a planner where I can keep myself in check (and out of trouble). I am a stay-at-home mother who also works from home, which may sound somewhat straight-forward but let’s just say it’s a far cry from simple. From art classes to errands to doing laundry simultaneously pitching clients and reading contract, to late nights working and early mornings mother’ing it definitely isn’t for everyone. I absolutely wouldn’t change it for the world, just as I wouldn’t go about it without a planner; so today we share our love for not only organization but our Personal Planner.
Since falling in love with Personal Planner back in 2014 their company made a few upgrades. They got bigger layouts, new design themes, fun accessories and included in every planner order are 312 fun stickers to beautify that schedule of yours.

Clearly they know their space, how to keep the organizer in all of us alive and of course out of any sorta’ personal or business scheduling troubles. You can customize your planner however you wish, from the layout design to birthdays and holidays and even added section for notes or doodling. Check them out for yourself, I don’t doubt you’ll agree they are brilliant at what they do.
Along with being amazing at what they do, they’re also very sweet to me and my readers, which makes me like them even more. They’re offering our readers not only a promotional code to use to get your own planner at a 15% discount (P-LANN-ER16 good thru now until August 21st) but also allowing me to give a custom planner away. Told you you’d love them!
So let’s come together and promise never to miss a swimming lesson or coffee date again; getting organized is so damn exhilarating, wouldn’t you agree? Enter below to win an organizer of your choice, GOOD LUCK!
Disclosure:: This post is sponsored by Personal Planner, but as always the opinions on this blog are my own. I truly do need a planner to stay organized and use my custom Personal Planner to do just that.

I use my Outlook calendar extensively to keep track of work and family; and then send my husband meeting requests for things he needs to be aware of. 🙂

My organization tip is to have a family calendar that everyone can see. If you can’t remember an appointment, someone else will see it and remind you.
Lauren says
I like to use one small calendar that I bring with me everywhere and one larger calendar for more detailed reminders.
Tara says
Have a big family calendar that the whole family can look at with a spot to put appointment cards and invites beside it. A dry erase or chalkboard helps too to leave messages for everyone. And a mirror to remind you to look and see how awesome you are now that you’re organized.

My favourite organization tip is putting a piece of lined paper in a photo frame and using it as a to do list. Write on it with an erasable marker and you save paper and desk space!
