one of the questions i get asked the most is "how do you do it all?" and the answer i most commonly give is "i don't sleep much and i try to stay organized". how do i stay organized? i use an organizer. yep, not a cell phone or blackberry or computer program - an actual organizer. it keeps track of my appointments, play dates, birthdays and most importantly - my blog! i keep all my notes, ideas, blogging calendar, goals, to do's etc...all in one easy accessible place. it's always right beside me and i'm always using it. i like being able to hold it in my hands, that it's not electronic and does not require batteries. i can sketch, jot down ideas, and much more with ease.
so when tiny prints contacted me about doing a review of one of their products i jumped at the chance - firstly because i love their shop and secondly because i have been eyeing up their organizers for months. i scooped my fave one up without blinking an eye. i knew i wanted a week-at-a-glance on the go lifeplanner by the fabulous designer erin condren. i adore the modern lines, customizable covers, and overall graphic styling of her organizers. it has a hard laminate cover with sturdy pages inside. it's ringbound (yay!) and the monthly tabs on the side are a life saver! i was one happy momma.
when my organizer arrived i have to say it was pretty close to when fabric/yarn show up at my door. i squealed, did a happy dance and freaked out my kids with my excitement over an inanimate object. i now accost anyone who comes in my home to show it to them. LOVE it! it is the organizer of my dreams. seriously...it puts my old one to embarassing shame. i will never...EVER...go back :) wanna know what's inside?
