currently || november

craving || I am ready for all the comforts of Thanksgiving. As much as I love Christmas, I don't want to rush past Thanksgiving, because that holiday has the best food. Ready to try some new recipes this month and sit down at the end and enjoy a nice home cooked meal.

ordering || Now that I have my Erin Condren planner, and have figured out the best way to plan for me, I have been browsing/buying on Etsy. There are a lot of shops with some cute designs. If you are interested in planning with stickers check out a few of my favorite shops like Sweet Kawaii Design, The Little Sticker Shop, and Plan In Color

planning || Hopefully a "Friendsgiving" for our new house. We don't even have a dining room table yet, so not sure if a housewarming/Thanksgiving party will happen, but I will be planning for one just in case.

reading || #TheSkimm...EVERY SINGLE DAY. I am loving the Skimm since I started reading it a few weeks ago. It is the best way to catch up on what's happening in politics, sports, technology, and other topics around the world. Check out The Skimm to be in the know in your office!

decorating || We have decorated with some fall decor on the inside of our house, but we are still in search of the perfect dining room table. It is hard to decorate and unpack without a table to plan around. Fingers crossed that we can find one sometime his month, before Christmas rolls around.

erin condren life planner

Last week one of the best things showed up at my front door. My Erin Condren Life Planner was waiting for me on the front porch when I got home from vacation! EEEKKKK!!! Needless to say I was pretty pumped about it, I mean how cute is this packaging!

When you order the Ready to Ship Life Planner it also comes with a few freebies inside. Along with the planner you get a a sticker (top left light blue), am adorable post card (top right), and gift tag stickers for birthdays and other special gifts (bottom). I don't know yet how I plan on using these, but it's nice to have these things around. 

Since it is the 10th anniversary of Erin Condren all orders also included this adorable gold-foiled print. I will probably frame this and keep it on my desk or in the craft room at the house. Again, it's nice to have a free gift but not quite sure how I plan on using it. 

This is the standard cover that the Ready to Ship Life Planner comes with. You also get a $10 off your next purchase coupon code so you can essentially get a different cover if you prefer. I may get a personalized cover, but I am also thinking about getting some accessories. The code never expires so I have some time to decide how I want to spend my $10

Erin Condren Life Planners have two separate layouts. They have what's called a horizontal layout and a vertical layout. The one shown below is the vertical layout. If you want to see what the horizontal layout looks like, you can check out this YouTube video. I decided on the vertical layout even though I don't separate my days into "morning" "afternoon" and "night". I instead like to separate mine by "work" "personal" and "to do". If you search YouTube for planning videos you will see that a lot of people go all out with stickers and such, but I'm not quite there yet. I don't think I will ever be that person who uses my planner as a "scrapbook" like some but who knows. 

Overall I am THRILLED with my Erin Condren Life Planner and could not be happier! I do plan on decorating my planner some, just not over the top.
