New Planners and Planner / Memory Book Combo


Sample 1A (above)


Sample 2A (above)

I've created some planners that I'd like to share with you.

Day planners, school planners, family planners, homeschool planners, you name it (literally). Planning and finding new, creative and helpful ways to do planning is a hobby for me so I thought I'd share with others. The planner I made this weekend is very thick and includes almost everything (school, keepsakes, daily tasks & to-do lists, calendars, etc.).

Size: 8" x 8"
Custom cover pages & custom planning pages available
It's easier for me to keep it all in one place, in one book, so I don't have to tag along a lot of things with me when I'm on the go. And also so I won't find myself lost when I leave ONE of those planners or notebooks behind.

I'm adding a few samples at a time of the ones I'm working on but there is much more to come.

These planners are unique in that they will include pages that help you track ideas and layouts for scrapbooking later. If you don't have time to make a book near the date of the event, you can jot down special memories from the occasion (even include photos, ticket stubs, etc.) right in your planner; then put together the scrapbook later.

If you're not sure how to do the scrapbook or don't have the time, I can put that together for you as well.


You can order a planner WITH or WITHOUT memory pages.

Let me know if you're interested in purchasing one for yourself or as a gift.

Wanna suggest another color scheme, or style? Just let me know!

Below are pages that can be included inside your planner.

Event Invitation Log: Make note of events you're invited to, as you receive the evite or invitation in the mail. After it's logged, you don't have to keep up with the email or paper invitation.

Menu Planning: Plan your menus and keep track of the ingredients you'll need from the store.

Cards/Gifts: Keep track of gifts and cards you need to mail and also include the address here. I can't even count how many times I've wanted to mail a letter or card, then I'd write or purchase it, sign it, and carry it around with me for days because I didn't have the person's address on me.

Christmas/Gift Planning (also general gift planning): Keep these in your planner all through the year for far advanced planning. Use them to make note of items you've heard your loved ones say they like.

Daily planning sheets. I like this format because when I purchase a planner with a page for each individual day of the year, I end up leaving some of them blank on days where I wasn't up to planning. Feel free to suggest sections for this page or indicate that you'd like the traditional daily planning sheets.

Chore Planning: These can be provided blank or completed with your individual chore system.

Weekly Planning: Indicate your to-do list at the top, then use the layout below to plan the day you'll get each task done.

Call Log: Keep track of calls you need to make along with notes as needed.

School Planning: These pages can be included in the school planner or the family planner and can be tailored for your needs.

Student Evaluation Forms: Use these to make periodic evaluations of your child's work and progress.

Field Trips: Keep up with potential field trips throughout the year and even include those you aren't able to attend this year but would like to attend in the future.


Future School Year Planning: Jot down notes of things you'd like to implement next school year!


Homeschool Notes: Use this for whatever!!

A Day in the Life: Don't have time to blog, don't have a blog? Use this section to jot down things you'd like to cherish for later. Use the blank section to attach a picture, keepsake, receipt, ticket stub, or even draw a picture.

A Moment to Remember: Use this section to commerate an event you'd like to cherish for later. Use the blank section to attach a picture, keepsake, receipt, ticket stub, or even draw a picture.

Log for doctors visits, Purchase log, Weight Loss Diary Pages, Children's Growth Charts

Very nice! I keep thinking that I'll create something like this, but never do. I'll think about getting one for next year. :)

You are definitely a planner after my own heart! The Christmas gift planning - I'm all about that. I will think on it.

You mentioned scrapbooking .. I need one for the new baby - do you do those too? Pam

I love your creativity and am considering purchasing the kindergarten memory book. I have lots of pics of my oldest from last year but haven't done anything with them. What all is included in the different grade books?
