Plan With Me Sundays

Welcome to the very first Plan with Me Sunday!! This was a little idea that I had and Meghan at Keeping Up with Mrs. Harris is joining me on this journey!  I can’t thank her enough for her tech knowledge and helping me take my idea to reality.  When you find someone who loves planning as much as you do, you just have to stick together!

Since this is the first post, I want to do a little background on my planning journey.  I have always been an organized person.  I make list, have always kept a calendar, and love to check things off!  About three years ago, I finally bought my very first Erin Condren planner.  It was LOVE at first sight!  Then a few years later I discovered endless YouTube videos of people taking the planner and making it PRETTY and FUNCTIONAL!   Sign me up!  It has taken me awhile to perfect my planner and it was not pretty at first.  However, I have figured out what works for me and I can’t wait to share. 

I want to preface by saying that the week I am planning for is during our family vacation.  I normally add meal plans, cleaning schedule, blog posts, and teacher stuff.  I will be sharing ALL of that on the next Plan with me Sunday! July 19th!

The first thing I always do is decide on a color scheme.  I usually go with a holiday, season, or special event color.  This week I am using blues to obviously go with my beach trip!  I lay out all of the tools I will need. 


My two essentials to planning are white out and roll on adhesive!



I always start off by covering the words on the bottom with white out.  This way they will not be visible through the washi.


I add washi along the bottom, before the weekend, and at the beginning of the week.  See that cute little fox?  He was a new stamp that I purchased! Love him!  I also used the flag heart stamp to separate the weekend.



I used this scalloped punch and some scrapbook paper to cover up the to-do list.


Then I just have fun! I added the floral washi to indicate that we will be on vacation ALL week! YAY! So excited for a relaxing week!  I used a 2 1/2 inch circular punch to add a space for beach memories.  I plan on writing in things I don’t want to forget!



My absolute favorite thing is adding note cards/sticky notes to the ruler.  I used washi to adhere them to the ruler and they can easily be taken off for the next week.  I write down shopping list and ideas during the week that I don’t want to crowd my planner.
