Polka Dot Posie Planner Review

I’m really late on getting my 2016 planner set up! I had the first two months printed and had every intention of doing a few months at a time. Well, the last few weeks have had so much going on that I didn’t even have time to write them down in my planner because I didn’t even have my planner finished! So almost four months later here it is!

Polka Dot Posie Seasonal PlannerI decided to show April’s month layout since March is almost over!

I use a color code to determine what activity is what.  Here’s what the colors mean this year:

Purple- birthdays and holidays
Aqua blue- weekly water log (Every day I draw a little box and color it in for each bottle of water I drink)
Green- Random Crafty Georgia Girl post ideas and A Pinch of Faith contributor/guest post deadlines
Black- every day events and chores
Red- Fitness
Pink- extra activities and weekend plans and cupcake mail to be sent out. (More on cupcake mail in a later post)

I use my Tombow brush tip pens to write a verse for each week. It helps me to make time for a quick devotion.

Polka DOt Posie Seasonal Planner

 

I use a printable planner from an Etsy shop called The Polka Dot Posie Print.  I love everything from this shop! It is completely a digital shop so there’s no item sent through the mail to you. It is sent to your email address and all you have to do is download and print!

Jen, the owner of The Polka Dot Posie Print, includes a how to print your planner. It’s really not as hard as it looks, but I have started printing each page one by one instead of doing all the odd pages and then the even pages. I print each page in order. I start by printing the first page and flipping it to where it will print the next page on the other side. I keep doing this until I have the whole planner done. It seems like this way may take you longer, but I had through May printed in probably an hour. I have the seasonal planner so it only goes through July.

There’s so many new items in the shop now. Jen just added some print and cut stickers and also print and cute planner dividers. The print and cut stickers look like they may be a hassle to cut out, but I thought they were so simple. They look great in my planner too!

There’s also a set of printable everyday stickers that include holidays and events, health and grooming, work and financing, and travel. I have the Avery 5408 stickers for these, but haven’t printed them yet. It’s next on my planner to do list!

Jen has told me a few times that I’m one of her best customers! I love everything she has done for me and I will continue to buy planners from her because they are just that AWESOME!

      This is the first time I have actually decorated mine instead of just writing my plans. It’s so much fun! =)

    I love how cute the stickers are! I’m a bit behind with my planner. I was doing really well and then life derailed me. I need/want to get back to it!

      Life can throw curve balls so it’s totally understandable! Maybe if you win it will help you get back on track! =)

  3. I love that you actually get stickers with this planner. I know they aren’t necessary but that is so much fun!

    I use a planner I got from the teachers’ union here in Finland. I really couldn’t survive without it!
