Once upon a time ago, I had a great memory. I mean it. I could remember things clearly and on a dime.
But then all that changed?
Why you ask?
Simply put I got married and had kids, too!
No longer am I recalling things just for little old me.
Nope those days are long gone!
Nowadays, I am responsible for recalling all daily for myself, plus 3 other other humans.
And try as I might, I failed miserably like here and here.
But then I got wise.

I not only wrote myself notes. But I also splurged on a lifeplanner.
What is a lifeplanner?
It is a book that allows you to plan for the days, weeks and months ahead.
Where can you get a lifeplanner?
Glad you asked. Because I got my current lifeplanner at Erin Condren. Erin Condren was actually founded by a stay-at-home mom back in 2004.
Erin Condren LifePlanners come in many different varieties and fully customizable.
How can you customize an Erin Condren LifePlanner?
See you can customize as follows: your cover, personalize it, three different planning layouts, color schemes, 12 or 18 month calendar and coils come in black, rose gold, gold or platinum! They also use thick paper stock that pens won’t bleed through! Plus, Erin Condren LifePlanners are made in the USA.
By the way, my Erin Condren LifePlanner actually was personalized with all my favorite pics of my family from this past year. See I get to never forget those special times with my loves while I plan for all in my family!
Plus at Erin Condren, you can also get all lifeplanner accessories, such as stickers and pens to plan out your life in style. And all orders over $100 ship FREE!
But now back to the topic at hand, why to buy a lifeplanner for all moms.

5 Reasons a LifePlanner is Perfect for Moms
1. Helps moms stay organized for all.
OK, once again I have shared how unorganized I was. Thank god for my lifeplanner, because it has truly helped in keeping me organized for all that is on tap or may arise, as well. No longer, I am I that forget mom. Nor am I feeling bogged down by all that I have to do for all in my life.
2. Motivates moms daily.
It is no secret my family has some hectic schedules here weekly. So, by using my lifeplanner I have been able to break down each day to help me manage all for not only myself, but for those in my family, too. Sometimes, I admit I would truly pull the covers back over my head especially in the colder, winter months. But being a mom means I just can’t. So at least with my trusty lifeplanner, I can motivate myself to get out of bed, put my big girl panties on and manage even the most daunting and overwhelming of days here.
3. Moms can save money by budgeting.
Let’s face it someone is always outgrowing clothes here and ready for new pants, shoes and more. Or someone is in need of money for lunch. And the family expenses just keep on like this! With a lifeplanner, I am able to know what bills are due for all in the family and not miss a payment. Plus, I also budget for who is need for what and when.
4. Easier way for moms to be artsy.
With lifeplanners, you can truly personalize your daily reminders with stickers, fun colored pens and so much more. I love that my creative side can be released while I planning ahead for my family. Seriously, my artsy side shines though while I plot, plan and schedule.
5. Great stress reliever for all moms.
Not only can moms be creative with the way they lay out their planners, which can be very relaxing. But also since all your family’s reminders in one place, moms are less apt to forget something. Thus, moms are more organized overall. Being more organized can help a long way where stress is concerned.
So, for all the reasons above and more, I couldn’t recommend a lifeplanner more for all moms out there.

Janine says
Thanks Kenya and I am really just loving this planner now 😉
Tamara says
I used to be pretty smug that I didn’t need a planner but that went out the window the last few years. My brain can’t do it all!
This looks awesome and I’ve heard of it too.
Janine says
I am so with you and my brain can’t do it all either!!
Rea says
Looks like a great one! Life planners are life savers! I’m obsessed about planners and writing notes. Every year, I actually splurge on planners but for next year, I planned to lie low from buying and use up all my notebooks and planners first. LOL. They’re piling up and a lot are still blank and empty.
Janine says
Totally get it and could see myself getting a bit obsessive with them as they really are that fun to use 😉
Bev says
I’ve definitely eyed those planners! I ended up getting a life/business planner geared toward moms and totally love it (my sister’s gift to me last year!). I think I will always be a pen & paper planner girl at heart.
Janine says
I hear you Bev and definitely more of a pen and paper girl for this, as well 🙂
April says
Sounds awesome and looks so pretty too! I’m definitely checking these babies out.
Janine says
Aw, hope you can get one now as I can truly gush and say I don’t think you’ll be upset that you did 😉
AnnMarie John says
I’ve never thought of a planner as a gift before, but it makes total sense. BTW I’ve heard great things about Erin’s planners. I may have to get one myself.
Janine says
Omg, you need one AnnMarie and I seriously loving mine now and am honestly not sure how I lived before I got mine!! 😉
