Product Review: This Is My Life Planner

“This Is My Life ” Planner was offered free to review on a FB PAGE I frequent!

I loved its layout right from the beginning, but I’m getting ahead of myself

This planner is for purchase at www.avirtuouswoman.org.

just click “This is My Life”

I used a different printable PDF planner last year and by the end of the year it frustrated me quite a bit. I had to have a page printed for everyday of the week! It got to be quite cumbersome and by the end I ditched the whole thing. I also had to fill in EVERY. SINGLE. ITEM. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY! Talk about time consuming…yikes!

Let’s talk options: you can choose between black and white or color.
I chose black and white only because we were out of color ink! No biggie.

There are add -on options as well
Budget planner
Holiday bundle
Kitchen planner

And many other options…you can also purchase it printed and bound for you!

So a couple of REALLY COOL THINGS.

1. Customer service with Melissa is GREAT’. There was a slight issue I picked up on and within 24 hours….FIXED!

2. One of the things I asked her if she had (she didn’t at the time) was a blogging add-on…..did you see the VERY FIRST ITEM ON MY ADD-on list. (AND ITS FREE). Soooooo as soon as I’m finished here guess what I’ll be doing!!!!!

3. If you sign up for blog updates, the kitchen planner is free too!

4. Everything is super affordable! Buy what you like skip what you don’t need! Love this! AND all purchases are a one time purchase! You buy the files once and print off year after year! LOVE THAT!

5. It’s cut my planning time down to a quarter of what it was just a few short months ago. I literally write in what’s coming up this week. Menu plan accordingly (because that pages is right next to your weekly plan!). No flipping back and forth! Most of my tasks are already there for me. So no re-writing EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Just check it off!

6. One of the super neat features of binding it yourself is this….I added notes pages (as many as I wanted between each week). I thought this was a cool way to capture some thoughts about my weeks, which I could then include in scrapbooks/ blogposts/ journals…and so on

7. I dressed up my black and white cover with scrapbook paper and rub ons making it all my own!

There really is so much I love about this planner! So much versatility.
I will definitely purchase from Melissa in the future!

So there were 3 cons but since she met my suggestion about blog add ons I only have 1. I wish there was extra areas provided to write in weekly items in the check off area. This is no big deal really because the space she did give is enough to write in under the chores given.

the second con is nothing big either but a spot to check off for doing your daily bible reading would be cool too but again not a big thing! I wrote it in in the afore mentioned space!

Here are the rest of my snapshots of my planner! I’m in full swing using it and love how versatile it is!
