Home/Life Organizer!

Can I just tell you, that I am one of those people who likes things her way?

Who knew, right?

When it comes to planners, it is a hundred times worse. I need certain things that normal planners just don't have. Like color, cuteness, space, and some serious over-organizing materials. 

When I was going through my favorite blogger's sites, I found printables.

Then it occurred to me, 

WHY, OH WHY, am I spending money on planners I am just not overly happy with? Why do I spend every single year searching for some so-so, I'll buy it if I can't find anything cuter, organizer for my life?

No more.

No more settling, no more ugly, no more wasted time. 

Meet, lovely 2013... & very likely, the rest of my life.

Seriously, pretty cover!

Pretty inspiration! 

All I needed were pens, note pads, page protectors, and a beautiful binder.

I got some wonderful printables from

Something Old, Yet, Something New!

Wedding binder update time, lovelies! 

It has been about 5 months since I first revealed my planning binder, May I just add that this has been a serious life saver when it comes to talking wedding? It is so simple to just be able to pull out my binder with all the things that inspire me and all the ideas I would like to try and just show anyone who is interested, or, maybe not interested in the slightest bit, (I feel like I should hashtag this SorryNotSorry.) 

Willing or not, this binder sure is a conversation starter and a wonderful example of how organization can make the planning experience so much easier. 

Since October, I have added many more categories and items that are actually extremely important to this process, for me. But this honestly depends on who you are and what you find to be the most important aspects of your wedding. 

So, now for some inspiration for you brides-to-be!

Planner Printables!

After a very long time figuring out design concepts, colors, and layouts, I have finally finished my planner!
I can not wait to walk into my first day of Penn with something I created myself instead of having the same planners/calendars that everyone else has! There's so much more satisfaction in that! 

Here's a little preview!

Cover: 

I used my monogram to title mine, however, left this blank for your customization!

Class Schedule and Calendars:

 Note Pages, I began using two different designs for more fun!

 Area for blog notes as well as other projects!

Each month has its own specific color for every section as well as the chevron and semi-quatrefoil design!

Because I'm so thrilled with how this is turning out, 

I would like to share this planner with you and link you to all the items that I created!

ENJOY!
