I received product from Erin Condren for my review. All opinions are my own.

I am a planner. I even plan to plan. I make lists for everything. If I do something that isn’t on my list, I write it down just so I can cross it off my list. Planning or making lists helps me feel confident that I haven’t forgotten something. That in turn makes me less stressed and better able to relax.

Last year, my SIL (also a planner) told me about Erin Condren Life Planners. Erin Condren offers personalized stationery, gift labels, photo cards, calendars, school & office supplies, invitations, t-shirts, teachers gifts and much more. As soon as I went to the Erin Condren website, I knew I had to have a Life Planner. I ordered one for my birthday and loved it! Fast forward to this year; I forgot to ask for a new Life Planner for Christmas (should have written that down somewhere!) I went a few months without a planner and was lost.  I needed/wanted another Life Planner; luckily, Erin Condren was happy to partner for a review.

You might be asking yourself, what is the big deal about Erin Condren Life Planners? Well, let me tell you.  If you are a planner, this is the super advanced planner. Life Planners can easily be customized in a number of different ways: patterns, names, and several add-on options.

For my review, I chose my Life Planner in the Candy Lace pattern with pool and mocha colors. I personalized the front of my Life Planner with our family name and the year. I also chose to add 2 custom notepads that easily adhere to the inside of the back cover.

Inside the Life Planner, there is a tab for special dates, each month of the year, notes, and contacts. There is a pocket to help contain loose papers and a pencil pouch. The Life Planner is securely held together with metal spiral binding. My favorite feature is the occasional motivational quote, just waiting for you to find it. You will also discover stickers in your Life Planner. These can be used to highlight important appointments, birthdays and so on. Some of the stickers have been prelabeled and others are left blank.

New to this year’s Life Planner is the notes area located below each day. This is a great spot for you to write down a small list, meal plans, thoughts, inspirations, exercise plans or whatever works best for you. I use this spot for my exercise wishes.

Some planners just have the monthly calendar for you to write in and others have weekly spots. With Erin Condren Life Planners, you get both. Plus, your days are broken down into three sections- morning, day and night. I use the monthly calendar to schedule our family dinners. I use the weekly calendars to plan my work responsibilities, my daughters’ school stuff and my husband’s commitments. This arrangement works well for me.

Needless to say, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Erin Condren Life Planner. I plan to get one every year.

*Life Planners are currently out of stock. The July 2014-December 2015 Life Planners will be available for pre-sale in June.

You can discover all the Erin Condren products on her website. You can also connect with them on facebook, twitter and pinterest.

Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.
