SIMPLIFIED PLANNER LAUNCH DAY

Today is Simplified Planner launch day! Simplified is launching their 2021-2022 academic year planners and tons of beautiful accessories. I have been a Simplified user for five years now and love this planner and this company.

The Simplified Planner comes in two editions, daily and weekly. Both editions come in six cover options; Carolina Gingham, (an updated) Happy Stripe, Dainty Dogwood, Fuchsia Chinoiserie, Kelly Green Bee, and Navy Hydrangeas. The daily and weekly planners have prep work inside that includes routines, declutter challenge, bucket list, and more. They also include blank note pages and a sticker page. Both editions have a monthly tab so that you can see the month spread. 

The pages are Mohawk Via Vellum (Smooth Pure White 70 Text), which means these pages are thick! There is no bleed through from pen, highlighter, and even markers. The covers are strong and sturdy, they will not bend and they wipe clean. Daily and weekly editions also come with a monthly coaching video to help guide you.

The daily edition has wire binding, Monday through Friday have their own page, while Saturday and Sunday share a page. The weekly edition is a little more compact than the daily with a lay-flat book binding. The weekly also has a ribbon book marker.

In addition to the daily and weekly editions, you will also find the Dapper Desk. Dapper Desk does not have the prep work and stickers, but it does have the ribbon book marker and every day has it's own page, including Saturday and Sunday. This year Simplified is launching their monthly planners! These little books are just the twelve months, not the daily or weekly views. They make a perfect calendar for meal planning or tracking workouts.

Plus, at Simplified, you will find tons of accessories! There are page markers and mini notebooks to match the six covers, pens, pencils, pencil pouches, planner pouches, stickers, and more. I am all about matchy-matchy so I absolutely love all of the accessories.

I am a daily edition girl and this year I think I am going with Navy Hydrangeas, though it was a hard choice! I am so exited to get matchy-matchy Navy Hydrangea accessories and some Carolina Gingham accessories.

The planners and accessories go live today at 10 EST. To shop, click HERE or the banner below. Prefer a calendar year planner? The 2022 calendar year planners will launch in the exact same covers in September!

I have been a Simplified Planner girl for a few years now and love this small company! Emily Ley and team Simplified are so fun as they help us plan and simplify our lives.

The Simplified Planner is a higher price point than a planner you would find at a big box store. But let me tell you, it is worth every single penny! Simplified Planners are kid proof, spill proof, throw in your purse proof, carry everywhere proof, everything proof! The covers are sturdy hard back and literally withstand everything. I have never had a Simplified cover bend, rip, or crack. And if you spill something on it, it wipes right off. The paper is a super thick Mohawk paper which means it won't rip easy and your pens and markers will not bleed through!

The Simplified Planner comes in two editions: a daily and a weekly. It also comes in six cover options for each edition. Simplified also offers a ton of super cute matching accessories! You can get notebooks, pens, bookmarkers, and more to match or coordinate with your planner.

2021 SIMPLIFIED PLANNER REVIEW & LAUNCH DETAILS

Today is the day! The 2021 Simplified Planners launch! Simplified Planners are my favorite planners for many reasons and I can't wait to share why!

This planner was built for life! The hard cover, the thick pages, it truly is meant to last. I was hard on my 2020 planner, yet it still looks brand new. I carry it everywhere with me, when I am at home it sits in my kitchen, it's been dropped and thrown, it has really had it, yet it has held up beautifully.

Thick pages! The pages of a Simplified Planner are made from Mohawk paper and are 70lbs. If you know anything about paper, you know that is amazing! No matter what pens or markers I use, they never bleed through.

Two editions to choose from! Whether you want a daily view or a weekly view, Simplified has both! Simplified weekly planners are hard bound, like a book. Each month has a monthly view, then your weekly view. Simplified daily planners have a hard cover as well, however the binding is wire, which I love! Dailies have your monthly view then each day has its own page (with the exception of Saturday and Sunday sharing).

Note pages, stickers, and pockets! Both daily and weekly editions have note pages for jotting down important info, a staple grocery list, or whatever you might need. Both editions also have a pocket in the front for keeping important papers, receipts, or a picture of your family! Both editions also come with a page of stickers, perfect for adding a pop to your planning.

Options and matching accessories! Simplified Planners come in 6 different cover options. This year there is Happy Floral, the signature Happy Stripe, Gold Bee, Pink Pinstripe, Pineapple Crest, and Blue Trellis. They are all gorgeous!

WHEN LESS BECOMES MORE

We all have times when we feel rushed. Overwhelmed. Like there is just too much going on. We feel like we don't have time to relax, time to remember who we even are anymore. The world tells us we need more. More stuff, more activities, more social media, more everything. But let me ask you, what if less actually became the more?

In her brand new book When Less Becomes More, Emily Ley teaches us to make space for slow, simple, and good. Emily says, "We often feel as if we need more tools, more organization, or more time. But really what we often need is less: less noise, fewer distractions, less comparison."

Friend, I don't know about you, but it feels like the more we have, the more we do, the more exhausted we get. Some days I long for the days of old, a time I never lived but dream of. The front porch sitting. A life without so much technology. A life less rushed. Emily also says, "We chase great. We chase perfect. We chase more. But do we ever get there? Or do we wear ourselves out on this hamster wheel, missing all the good along the way? I think it's time to point our lives toward that place where enough truly is enough."

In When Less Becomes More, Emily teaches:
Less Rush, More Rhythm
Less Liking, More Loving
Less Noise, More Calm
Less Distraction, More Connection
Less Frenzy, More Soul Rest
Less Fake, More Real
Less Fear, More Community
Less Great, More Good
Less Chasing, More Cherishing
Less Stuff, More Treasures

Friends, When Less Becomes More is truly life changing. Please do yourself a favor and get this book. Learn to live life slow, simple, and good. To order, click the banner below.

It's launch day! Y'all! I am so excited for the Simplified Planner 2020 launch!

Simplified Planner is my absolute favorite planner. Let me tell you why:

This planner was built for life! The hard cover, the thick pages, it truly is meant to last. I have not been easy on my 2019 planner, yet it still looks brand new. I carry it everywhere with me, when I am at home it sits in my kitchen, it's been dropped and thrown, it has really had it, yet it has held up.

Thick pages! The pages of a Simplified Planner are made from Mohawk paper and are 70lbs. If you know anything about paper, you know that is amazing! I generally use gel pens and they never bleed through. I have, on occasion, used Sharpie pens and they don't even bleed through!

Prep work! The Simplified Planner begins with some incredible prep work. Emily Ley, the lovely creator of Simplified, walks you through setting up your year step by step. She walks you through routines, encourages you to create a bucket list, and much more.

Two editions to choose from! I have always loved looking at my entire week at a glance, so I always get a weekly planner. This year, I have decided to move to a daily planner. Emily has both! Simplified weekly planners are hard bound, like a book. Each month has a monthly view, then your week view. Simplified daily planners have a hard cover as well, however the binding is wire, which I love! Dailies have your monthly view then each day has its own page (with the exception of Saturday and Sunday sharing).

Note pages, stickers, and pockets! Both daily and weekly editions have note pages for jotting down important info, a staple grocery list, or whatever you might need. Both editions also have a pocket in the front for keeping important papers, receipts, or a picture of your family! Both editions also come with a page of stickers, perfect for adding a pop to your planning.

Options and matching accessories! Simplified planners come in 6 different cover options. This year there is the signature Happy Stripe, Navy Blooms, Garden Party, Blue Pinstripe, Pink Pineapple, and Mint Tile. They are all gorgeous! Plus, each cover has matching accessories like notebooks and page markers. And you can get other matching accessories. So go all out matchy matchy or mix and match your faves.

WHY I USE A PLANNER & MY TOP THREE FAVORITE PLANNERS

Whatever you do, do it from the heart,

as something done for the Lord and not for people.

Colossians 3:23

Everything we do, we should do as though doing it for the Lord. This includes managing our homes, families, and lives. I want to lead my family well as for the Lord. In order to do so, I need to be organized. This is why I intentionally and faithfully use a planner.

Throughout the years I've tried many different planners and today I want to share my top three favorites. 

#3: Homemaker's Friend Daily Planner is a great planner. With it's compact size of 5.5" x 8.5" it is easy to carry and it has a monthly view, weekly view, information section, project section, and perforated shopping lists. The Homemaker's Friend Daily Planner is only $14.99, making it a great choice if you are on a budget.

#2: Dayspring's Agenda Planner, 7"x9", is an eighteen-month planner. It runs from July to December of the following year. So the 2019 planner began July 2018 and will run until December 2019. There is a monthly view and a weekly view as well as stickers to give your planner some pop. You can choose between five different covers and it costs $29.99.

#1: The Simplified Planner by Emily Ley comes in two editions, daily and weekly, which come in six cover options. This planner has prep work at the beginning to help you plan your year. You will think about what worked and didn't work in previous years, discover bucket list items, and come up with routines. The weekly edition, 6"x8", has a monthly view and a weekly view and is $48, and the daily, 7"x9", edition has a monthly view and a daily view, and is $58. The Simplified Planner is a bit more pricey, but well worth every penny! This is a high quality planner made with the best paper so that your pens and highlighters will not bleed through and the cover is tough and will withstand your busy year.

Another thing I absolutely love about Simplified Planner is all of the matching accessories you can get! Simplified offers mini notebooks, page markers, pens, and other fun stuff to match their planners. I am totally a matchy-matchy girl and love that I can have a full set of matching planner and accessories.
