Most Wanted: Erin Condren Life Planner

I have always been a sucker for stationery and personalized items. When I was a little girl, I had a huge collection of stationery, so I would write letters to all of my out of town family members. They would write me back and the joke is that they were constantly having to write me because I would immediately turn around and write them as soon as I received their letter. I wrote about all sorts of interesting things, like what I had for dinner. I still have all of those letters somewhere. How hilarious would it be to go back and reread them all now? 

Well, moving on to the point of this post. I discovered this awesome line of stationery and other personalized products when I ordered my planner for this current year. I am a bit obsessed with my planner. I am not one who puts appointments and parties in my iPhone. I like to hand write everything on my calendar. I purchased my Life Planner from Erin Condren and love it! This planner has everything you need. You have the full month calendar, weekly calendar (divided into morning, afternoon, and evening), along with places to write to-do lists and goals and fun stickers to put on your special dates!  It is a little pricey ($50) but I definitely think it is worth it if you are a planner person. I use it to put all of our appointments, parties, and I even use it to track my running and eating. It helps me stay accountable by writing those things down and I can go back and look and see oh I didn't run very much that week, or ooh I ate out a lot this week. Plus, they are just gorgeous! The designs are so colorful and fun and you can personalize with your name. There is even a photo option! If you are looking for a new planner for the upcoming year, I definitely recommend this one!

I am pretty sure I am ordering this one for the 2012 year! I love the zig zag pattern!

 This is a new feature for this year! Mine does not have the tabs to divide the months. So great!

 Logging my diet and my running really helps. I schedule when I am going to run, so that it is an "appointment" and not just something I will do if I have time. It keeps me on track!

 So much room to put everything going on in your busy life!

I love the stickers! They have Party!, Hair Cut, Birthday!, Concerts, plus so many more!

 So pretty! Fleur Feliz pattern - love the colors and the two font name
 This would be great for new moms! Believe me I considered using a wedding picture on mine, but thought people might think I am a little obsessed! 
 Candy Lace - I have this one currently in orange and pink.
Kaleidoscope - If I did not want the Zig Zag, I think I would get this one! Love it!

Check out the website and all of the other super cute items! I have bought a couple of "groupon" type things for the site that I need to use so I will be ordering my planner and some other pretties soon! Let me know if you get one!
