dear planner, oh how i love thee.

I've always been the type that needed to have a planner/organizer/all-in-one calendar thingie. I have actually saved my planners from the years previous and every once in a while I flip through them to remember what I was doing on...oh, lets say...April 21st 2006. And there it is. A detailed flashback. Lunch with mom @ 12. On that day...I had lunch with mom :) I like looking back. I especially like looking back from about October 2006-January 2007. I was completely and unbelievably an organized freakazoid during those months, the months right before my wedding. Jan 27th 2007. Whoohoo.

I love crossing off the days on a calendar too. I think I used to love it a bit more when I was working and had each day of the week staring me back in the face. There was a constant countdown to the weekend. I would shut my computer down for the day…make sure my stack of things to do was organized and in it’s proper red folder [which signified RED HOT importance], I’d straighten my stapler and mouse pad so everything was properly aligned and then I’m take a big fat marker and cross the day off on my desk top calendar. One time the warehouse manager was hanging out by my office and saw my end of the day routine. He laughed and told me I was ‘One of those people’. Yep. True. I'm one of those people.

I am also particular, a little picky and a tad finicky about my planner. It must be uncomplicated, effortless to use, and have loads of space to write on the days of the week and even more space for all my notes-to-self that pop in my head through out the day.

Well my friends…let me introduce you to my planner ecstasy.

My new Truly Mom Planner:




Did you hear the angelic voices in the back ground? I love this planner and must admit that I am slightly obsessed. Honestly...I don’t even have much to plan these days. Go figure!

I joked the other day that I take my planner to bed with me at night and lay it under my pillow so I can inhale its goodness all night long. I’m not to that point but sadly and quickly approaching that line.

I want all you planny people out there to share in this great thing. Please save up and buy one of these. It will totally and completely be worth every penny. It’s leather and has an awesome tri-fold thingie going on. Inside you'll find post-it notes, a "my day" pad, a "my list" pad, a "a note to" pad, a pull out calandar, a neat little pocket for invitations or anything that you would need to put in a pocket. : ) What also is great is you can buy calander/note refills when you run low or when the year itself runs out and keep the same planner. It comes in different colors and you even get a nifty pen that says ♥TrulyMom♥ on it. And if you're a dude you can just cross out the 'Mom' part on all the pages and post-its. Right? Sorry guys, this might be a chick only thing. Come check them out at Orange Tree.


K. I must go figure out what to do tomorrow so I'll have something to write in my planner.


Busy. Busy. Busy.
