Daily Planner Giveaway!

I finally added my 2014 Daily Planner to my etsy shop!

Some years I've successfully used a daily planner and some years

it was mostly left blank. I decided, after making my 2014 calendars,

I was going to go ahead and design a daily planner version w/ monthly

calendars because I knew this year would be one that I would

definitely need it to help me stay on track.

 

With lots of new and exciting things going on for our little family,

keeping it all organized is a must:

 soccer games, husband's work travel schedule, planning for our new

baby, my blogging and business to do's, vacations, and the list keeps growing!

 

 

 

 

Instead of putting this planner in my household binder, I decided to have it

bound. I had it printed and bound at Office Max.

I do keep it tucked in my household binder, but wanted the freedom to

take it with me without having to lug my whole binder.

It would look great in a binder also!

 

 

 

I love the weekly planning pages where I can view the week at a glance

and the monthly calendar. I love to write appointments and special dates

on both so hopefully I don't forget them!

{I am already a forgetful person so add pregnancy brain on top of that and

this planner has become essential}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm giving away a free digital copy of my 2014 Daily Planner!

All you need to do is leave me a comment telling me you follow

me on instagram! If you don't follow me yet, you can find me

at:

 

 

In your comment, leave me your instagram name so I can come follow you, too!

I'll randomly pick a winner this Tuesday!

2014 Calendars and NEW Printables

Happy New Year, friends!

What better way to start fresh than with a pretty new calendar, right?!

Y'all know I love colorful planners, like my teacher planner that I LOVE so much.

But, I also have a "household" binder that I use at home. In it I have a calendar

to write important dates, but mostly when bills are due, appointments, etc...

The other sections in my binder are to help keep me organized. I wouldn't say

that I always used my home binder as efficiently or as often as I could have in 2013,

but I'm going to try to be a bit more organized when it comes to paying bills, writing

down financial goals {a.k.a. paying off debt}, etc...

Anyway, I've been creating a new 2014 calendar to stick in my binder,

 as well as coordinating printables for the other sections.

I made two versions of the calendar....

 a landscape version,

and a 2-page portrait version.

I've also been hit or miss on weekly meal planning this past year. I am always

really, really happy during the week when I have already planned out the meals, so

here is my new meal planning and grocery list printable. I printed several of these and they

have their own section in my binder.

I also have sections for a list of birthdays/special dates and one for note taking...

Now, since these printables aren't teaching related, I decided to open

up my own Etsy shop just for these printables!

 {and the other ones I plan on creating soon}

You can visit my Etsy shop by clicking here or on the pic below.

{or on the gallery view on the right sidebar of my blog}

I am also in the middle of creating a printable daily planner that coordinates

with the 2014 Portrait calendar. It will have a calendar included as well as

weekly pages that will look something like this...

It's still under construction, but will have lines under each day. I'm still tweaking it,

but like I said, it will be a full year printable calendar with monthly pages AND weekly pages

{like above} for the entire 2014 year.

So, if you like to have space to write stuff down daily, you may want to wait

and purchase this. I'm hoping to have it completed and in my etsy shop in a few days!

As you can see, I've been keeping busy over winter break! But I'm going to be so glad that I

have my new 2014 binder set up and ready to go.

One little step towards being more organized!

I'm linking up with Blog Hoppin' here on getting organized :)

These past couple of weeks were a whirlwind, but a wonderful

whirlwind!

I took a few weeks off of blogging but I'm back and wanted to share a

few pics from our holiday season.

I was thrilled to get to go to Lainey's Christmas party at her preschool! I usually

can't go to these functions because I'm usually having a party in my own classroom

at the same time. This year it worked out and it was so nice to just pop in and surprise her. :)

 We had a playdate with Lainey's best friend, Maddie, and the girls made cookies.

Don't they look cute in their anthropologie aprons?!

This print might be my favorite thing I added to our Christmas decor this year.
I found it through Jane.com and loved it so much I bought one for my mom and sister, too.

 We found out in early December that baby #2 is a girl! Lainey picked out a sweet little ornament

for our tree after the sonogram.

 Speaking of decor, I found this little tree that used to be mine when I was little.

Someone was thrilled to inherit it and put it up in her room this year. :)

Lainey got the Calico Critters dollhouse that she asked Santa for. I love that it is all about

little animal families....and not Barbie dolls. Although, I'm sure that day will come.

Baby girl got some swaddling blankets for Christmas!

Everyone I know raves about these. I guess we'll find out soon enough how good they are.

My sister got me a couple of mugs I'd been eyeing from anthropologie. As soon as I saw

the original initial mug was in gold, I knew I wanted it!

 White Christmas! :)

I truly hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a fun New Year's, too!

HOLIDAY sticky note pack and the SALE!

Wow! The past five days have flown by...where did my break go?!?!

I did manage to barely complete a project I had been working on just

in time for the big Cyber Monday and Tuesday sale.

It's no secret that I love using sticky notes in the classroom, so naturally I wanted

to create a product I could use with all of my favorite holiday books!

We have just under 3 weeks until winter break, so I'm starting off tomorrow reading

one of my favorites, The Legend of the Poinsettia, so I can fit them all in.

Of course, I also had to stock up on holiday colored sticky notes!

I'm so stinkin' excited to use these with my 1st graders! They just love

using sticky notes and I usually get greater quality of work when we use them. :)

You can grab yourself a copy here!
