Yep I'm a planner person!

      A few years ago after I started having kids, I starting not remember anything unless I wrote it down. So I bought a cheap planner from Walmart and it helped to keep me organized, but there were so many features I wanted in a planner that the cheap one from Walmart didn't have, so I set out on a search for a better planner. I have tried lots of different ones over the years that I really liked, but I didn't love.
      I think I first saw an Erin Condren Life Planners on pinterest about 6 months ago. So I googled it and found her website and probably spent way to much time eyeing up all the beautiful wonderful things I wanted in a planner. Like customizable interchangeable front and back covers that are super sturdy, a built in folder to stick all kinds of extra things in so they don't fall out, colorful stickers, a clear zip lock pouch, a page holder ruler, a pen holder, and not to mention all the great accessories they have to go along with it. I really tried to talk myself out of getting it, that I really didn't need a new planner, that it cost to much, but I couldn't stop dreaming about it (I know I'm a dork I dream about a planner) so finally I just bit the bullet and ordered me a life planner.
     I have had my planner now for about 5 months and I absolutely love it. Ya I'm kind of obsessed. It keeps me so organized, and it is so cute. I take it with me everywhere and it holds up being thrown into my purse or diaper bag. Really if you've ever wanted a really great life planner this is the one. If you sign up on her website they will email you a $10off coupon to use on your first purchase. Check it out!

Non-Candy Class Valentine Idea

I like the idea of a non-candy valentine but still something the kids can use. So this is what I made for my sons kindergarten class for valentines.

I got the sanitizers and holders at Bath and Body works, then I made the labels and had them printed on sticker paper. (but you could just print them on regular paper and glue them on with a glue stick)

                                                   Here are 36 labels on a 8 1/2x11 page
Feel free to use, but please just leave a comment so I know the stuff that I make actually goes to good use! THANKS

I think the kids will love having their very own sanitizer to hang on their backpack and hopefully it will help with sickness, cause we all know lots of that is going around this time of year.

Personal Progress Goal Card 2015

For Young Women's New Beginings this year we are going to have all the girls set a goal to get at least one personal progress project done this year. So I made these goal cards to handout to all the girls to have them fill out that night and then we will put them in a small photo album and follow-up with the girls throughout the year!

January's Teacher Appreciation Gifts

I thought that with it being winter time and so many germs and sickness going around I would do something about being clean this month for teacher appreciation gifts. So I got  big tubs of lysol wipes from sam's club for about $2 a peice for each of the teachers and I made this label that says "Learning is Messy here's to a Clean new year! Then I cut them out in circles and hot glued them to the top of the tubs of lysol wipes. I made 25 of them because that is how many teachers we have but you could just do one for you child's teacher or a few for each of your children's teachers!
