Planner organization…

I think this is the most requested post EVER.  I finally got around to sharing my planner organization, but not before I switched out planners. I am a planner addict and have already been through 2 planners this year.  I like change and this is no exception.  If you find that your planner isnt working for you, dont be afraid to change it out. Its not set in stone. When Martha Stewart first came out with office supplies, I was so super excited.  I love office supplies, I love Martha, and I love planners. 🙂

I picked up these planner supplies at Staples.  Some of the stuff ^[4] was 25% off and I got a coupon for 40% off one MS item here ^[5].

The binder is the smaller size. Its 5×8″ or something like that. Its a great size and portable!!

Menu planning.

I like to use these particular (Mr. Sketch scented ^[10]) markers because they do not bleed through to the back of the page.  I have so many skinny sharpies but cannot use them in my planner for that reason.

Everything is color coded.  Each family member has a color, as well as the family as a whole.

I use sticky tabs at the tops of the monthly pages to navigate easily.

My planner is organized into main sections…

2. Notes

3. To Do’s

4. Menu Planning

5. Budget
