Planner setup/review

I am so excited to share with you all one of my favorite things...my planner! I ordered it from MBK Planners. It is exactly what I need and I am 100% satisfied with it. If you are in need of a weekly planner, monthly planner, address book, notebook...go ahead and head over to their website. They offer so many cute custom designs.

Let's start with the front cover...it is customizable and ADORABLE. I wanted the stripes which normally includes a name or monogram but I held off on that and decided to add my own monogram in vinyl so I can take it off and change it out if I want to change it up here and there. You can also purchase separate covers for your planner as well, the options are endless!

When you first open your planner you will see that it is great quality. It is very durable and all of your divider tabs are covered in a thick laminate. You also have a page of special dates throughout the year where you can easily find dates of major holidays. I had no idea how handy this would be but I have used this many times.

Once you flip over to the month by month tabs, you will see that each month has a sheet to jot down birthdays, events, etc.

Now...here is my favorite part of the planner. I love planning out my calender at the beginning of each month. I usually keep track of things that happen every month on the monthly pages. I will keep track of both mine and my husband's pay schedule, car payments, and other month-month expenses. I have just recently started getting into stickers and decorating my planner. It may seem a little silly to some people (my husband being one of them) but let me tell you...there is just something about it. :)

The weekly planner pages are fantastic as well. They have plenty of room for you to keep track of what you need to get done. This is how I set up my weekly pages...I tape off a section at the bottom to keep track of our weekly dinner menu. I normally keep higher priority chores/task on the top and anything that needs to be done late in the day (after work) is always towards the bottom. Of course I always try to include an inspirational quote or verse in the top left box. I love how the boxes are large enough so that I can even jot down small grocery list or to do list.

As for a final review of the MBK Weekly Planner, I would give it a 9/10! I wish that it had some kind of pencil pouch where I could keep a pen and a few small items. It does have a small pocket in the back where I hold important papers or grocery list so that is helpful. I am, however, very pleased with the product. I cannot wait to continue to use it and see what other useful planning tips I am able to use with it. If you have any planning/planner post on your blog or social media be sure to let me know in the comments so I can check those out!
