Planner Spotlight

As many of you may know from Facebook posts in the past, I LOVE my Mormon Mom Planner from  In The Leafy Tree Tops. I had a request from a friend to post my thoughts on these particular planners. With the new year coming up, I think a post about planners is appropriate, "Mormon" or otherwise! These planners are awesome for pretty much every mom, married, or single gal out there.  Below you will find links to the various types of planners available, and then I will highlight some of my favorite features from my personal planner!

For Mamas!

There are several planners available for moms. This first one is NOT the Mormon Mom Planner, but is adequately named the Mom-on-the-Go Planner. This planner includes useful pages such as contact information, thank you card tracker, financial management sheets, and a family focus section. I haven't seen many planners like that!

The next one is the Mormon Mom Planner.  This planner has the same features as the Mom-on-the-Go, but it has some added pages specific to an LDS lifestyle including a Book of Mormon reading chart, The Family: A Proclamation to the World, FHE planning pages, Sunday Lesson Plans for each month, and Visiting Teaching contact information pages.

During this time of year the planners being sold are for Jan-Dec. Another set is run during the Academic year for August-July, which is useful for moms that are also students, teachers, or who have children in school during the traditional school year. These make great gifts as well!

For Organized Women, Married or Not!

Every woman can benefit from being organized! The Know It, Live It, Love It Planner  is perfect for keeping track of your busy schedule. This one IS an LDS planner, but you can still buy it even if you are not! It is much like the Mormon Mom Planner, but without all the "mom" stuff.

There is also a Young Women Planner that is a perfect gift for the young woman in your life. :D

What I Personally Like:

There are so many features that I love, and several that I could definitely take better advantage of-baby steps right? At least I USED my planner this year! Anyway, below are some pictures from my personal planner to give you an idea of what the planner looks like.

I really love the size of this planner. It's not too big, like a full sized notebook, but it's not too small like a tiny note pad. (This pic shows the size compared to an iPad Mini.)

I love the rounded corners of the plastic covers and the spiral binding. The corners don't get as munched when they are rounded. The spiral binding allows the planner to lie flat or to be opened to a single page to write in and utilize.

The tabs allow for quick access to a specific month. I also like to use a rubber band to hold all the used pages together so I can just flip to the month I am using. 

The weekly spread is great for more in-depth detail. It's kind of like a teacher plan book, so maybe that's why I like it so much!

The extras! A box for each week of Family Home Evening lessons, a page for writing out your specific family's ideals. I love our mission statement and I never would have thought that we should have one had I not wanted to utilize this page! 

I obviously need to utilize these pages more, but I love that they are included. 

I hope you follow the links and see just how amazing these planners are! They come in a variety of styled covers that are so hard to choose from. I really just love her site. There are so many cute downloadable printables and stickers that can be part of the planners as well.  I love their size-it fits so easily in a purse, backpack, or diaper bag. If you are in the market for a planner, check these out! Happy Planning!
