August to August Must-Have!!

It's that time of the summer when I start to panic because my daily planner only goes until August and -heaven forbid- I may miss something!!  It's also that time of the summer when I get SUPER excited because my planner only until August and -gasp- I get to go out and buy a new one!!

You are probably thinking, "what is the big deal about a planner?"  But wait. until. you. see. this. thing.  It is the BMW of planners.  It's so pretty.  And made well.  And it fits well with my line of thinking.  My life revolves around the school year.  Hence, the need for an August to August organizer!  I mean, it's like they were in my brain when they made this thing.

Every summer I look forward to finding this year's crop of planners in their multitude of colors.  Oh, what color will I pick???  I usually waver between a few different colors and try to never buy the same color twice (have I mentioned this year's planner is my TWELFTH one??!!).  Yeah, I'm a little obsessed.  But it's so stinking cute.

And the font.  The FONT!!  The font is what makes it.  It is handwritten in waaaaay better writing than my fingers could ever do and it has lots of space for all of my appointments, meetings, birthdays, etc. (Read: pedicures, coffee dates, movie release dates, etc.).  And every month there are a few pages for notes, a monthly at-a-glance, and a financial record page.  Which I have never used.  I mean, c'mon, I purchase this baby every year for $17 when I could get the cheapy ugly blue one free from school.  There isn't much recording happening on my part.  But for those of you who are money conscious, have at it!!

Behold.  The beautiful planner:

I chose turquoise this year to remind me of the cool, blue waters of the pool 

when I am so sad to be in the dead of winter!

The inside:

Isn't the writing sooooo cute??!!

So there you have it!  This planner could SAVE your sanity!!  I'm off to fill mine with playdates and pool time!!  

Remember who you are!
