MY FAVORITE PLANNER...AND IT LAUNCHES TODAY

Between raising a family, managing a home, running multiple ministries, blogging, and much more, being a planner is vital. I am sure you can understand. I need to be able to see what my year, month, week, and day holds.

That is why I am an avid planner girl. I love using a planner! My planner stays open in my kitchen, the most used room in the home, all day long. When I leave the house, my planner goes with me. I have to stay organized, as the manager of my home, my family is depending on it.

I've used many planners over the years and have a few favorites. One of my absolute favorites is the Simplified Planner by Emily Ley. This planner is incredible!

DAYSPRING AGENDA PLANNER

In this fabulous world of technology, I am still a die-hard paper girl. I must have a physical Bible, I much prefer a physical book, and I cannot go without a paper planner. One of my absolute favorite planners is the Agenda Planner by Dayspring.

This Agenda Planner is perfect to keep me organized and on task, and the fact that it is beautiful makes it a joy to carry it around.

Dayspring offers five different Agenda Planners, that's five different covers and color schemes. Yet the idea of the planners are the same. The planners are 18-months, starting in July 2018 and go through December 2019. You get an overview of 2018, 2019, and 2020, a monthly format, and a weekly format. The monthly format is great for looking as a whole at your month and makes it easy to plan. Then the weekly format is perfect for your everyday, detailed planning. I put things in the monthly view, yet in my weekly view I put it in great detail so I don't miss anything.

 

Each planner has splashes of Scripture throughout which are beautiful encouragement as we go through those hectic days and need that reminder. The planners also have three sheets of stickers to add pop to your days, and a pocket that is great for holding receipts and other important documents.

These Agenda Planners are 7"W x 9"H x 7/8"D which make them easy to carry or easy to fit into your purse or bag.

The Agenda Planner is one of my favorite planners. As a wife, mom, homemaker, homeschool teacher, pastor's wife, children's pastor, women's ministry leader, and blogger, I need a good planner to keep me organized. This planner does just that.

Out With The Old...In With The New

I love the convenience of technology! I use a family planner app that let's all of my people see what is going on and it sends us alerts. It's great! But the truth is, I am totally a paper girl! I much prefer to read actual books instead of reading on the computer or a tablet and I much prefer my paper planner to anything else. I need to be able to not just see, but touch!

My favorite planner is the Homemaker's Friend. I have been using Sue's planner for 4 or 5 years now and it works great for me. It has everything I need to keep my family organized. I keep my planner on our kitchen counter for everyone to see and it is convenient to grab on the go.

So what do I like so much about this planner? My favorite thing is the different views. You can view the whole year at a time to see big upcoming events, view a month at a time to see what is going on, or view a week at a time for all of the details. The weekly view is the one I keep open on my kitchen counter. It gives my family details as well as shows the menu for the week. No more asking me fifteen times a day "What's for dinner?"!

Also in the Homemaker's Friend, you have sections for tasks, projects, notes, an address book, and the shopping list. I love the shopping list section! These little perforated slips of paper are perfect for jotting down things you need at the store.

I also love the splashes of Scripture and encouragement throughout the planner.

I use felt tip makers in my planner. They do not bleed through, allow for bold and easy to read writing and add the splash of color I love so much. For fun, I use a lot of my Illustrated Faith kit goodies in my planner!

The Homemaker's Friend is 5.5" x 5.8". If you are like me and use a big purse or bag, it will fit great! The 2017 planner starts December 1st, so now is a great time to order yours and get started getting organized for the holidays and the new year.

For only  $14.99 you can get the 2017 planner and plus meal planning worksheets to download and print off for free. Have friends or family you know could benefit from the Homemaker's Friend? It would make a great gift or just get together with your friends and order together, the more you buy, the cheaper it is. 3 or more is $14.49 each, 5 or more is $13.99 each, 10 or more is $12.99 each and 22 or more is only $11.99 each!

Homemaker's Planner

Do you crave organization or does just the thought of it send you into a panic?

I love organization and I strive to be organized. But with four kids, church ministries, church activities, sports, homeschooling and more, it can be really hard to be organized sometimes. Running late or forgetting to do something, causes me to panic and get cranky.

Several years ago I was introduced to the Homemaker's Planner by Sue Hooley, wife and homemaker for 24 years and mom to 6. It has been the greatest blessing! My planner is with me at all times, has helped me stay organized through our busy life and gives me a place to write my shopping list and other important notes. In this world of modern technologies and conveniences, I still very much prefer my paper calendar that I can touch and write in.

The Homemaker's Planner features:

Weekly Layout
  •Two-page spread with entries for each day
  •Menu planning
  •To-do list

Monthly Calendar

  •Two-page month view

Year Calendars
  •2015 and 2016 calendars with place for notations

Task List and Project & Events Sections
  •Untitled pages for you to customize for your own duties and ideas

Information

The Word

We are into November now. That means life is going to speed up just a bit more once we throw holiday celebrations into the mix of every day life. But it also means moving into a new season. There is something so refreshing to me about starting a new planner or calendar. I love the feeling of opening the book for the first time and writing birthdays and important events in there. In the next couple of weeks I am going to begin writing in my 2015 Homemaker's Planner and that is exciting!

Whether you are a master organizer or are seriously lacking in that department, the Homemaker's Planner is perfect for everyone!
