If you’re a mom, you can code each child’s activities with a different color. If you’re in college, you can color code by class. You can apply this is many other different ways though.

Erin Condren helps you celebrate life - not just plan life. One of my favorite things about the Erin Condren LifePlanners is how colorful and uplifting they are. This year I’m loving pale pink - especially during the spring time - so I chose this blush and gold cover that says “Thankful and Grateful” because it just so happen those are two of my main focuses this year (as they should be every year). The Erin Condren LifePlanner is customizable, beautiful, sturdy and easy to use, so it goes without saying that I’m in love. This year, I’m trying out a new brand! Erin Condren. As if I don’t talk about it enough, we all know I’m a big planner junkie. But with a little motivation and a lot of organization, everything can get done. Obviously, I was in for a HUGE newsflash.
