Plan With Me Sunday Blog Hop


Welcome to Plan With Me Sundays Blog Hop! This is my first time participating and I am so excited! I have been a planner all of my life and I absolutely love writing things down and organizing my life. This week I wanted to link up with Keeping up with Mrs. Harris and Kreative in Kindergarten because I love looking at other people's planners.

Before I share with you my planner(s) I just want to let you know that I have THREE, yes three. One is my personal planner with my every day to do lists, chores, appointments, etc. My second is my business planner. I use this to organize things for work, my TpT store and blog, as well as my Etsy. The third planner is my Erin Condren teaching planner. I will not be sharing that planner this week, but you can learn all about it HERE.

I will be sharing two of my planners here with you today.

The first is my business planner. It is an Erin Condren planner in the vertical layout. I love this layout because it is broken down into three sections. I uncoiled my EC planner and put it into my Kikki-K binder. It is so easy to use it this way because I am able to insert extra pages that I need.

I create my own stickers so I can customize my headers to fit my needs.  My work section is to organize things for work (classroom to dos, things to copy, things to grade, reminders, etc). My TpT section is where I put all of my blog information, updates, and products that I need to work on. My Etsy section is all related to my Etsy store (things I need to do, orders I need to fill, etc.)
My planner this week is decorated and all ready to go for Vegas. Since I will be on vacation, I won't be working too much, but I still wanted a layout that matched my week.

 The stickers are ones that I created for myself. I have a section for work, TpT, and Etsy. I also created Instagram stickers to track and remind myself to post on my personal Instagram as well as my teaching Instagram. The hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades were also created by me.

The rest of the stickers are from an Elvis sheet that I got from Hobby Lobby. I also embellished with washi tape because who doesn't love washi?

If you want to see in detail how I planned this week, I made a plan with me video that you can watch. :-)


In addition to my business planner, I also have my personal planner. It is also from Erin Condren. I keep this one coiled and it is the horizontal layout. I have so much more room to write in this layout, which I love.

Again, I am using stickers that I designed myself. It was my first week in my horizontal Erin Condren so I am still figuring things out. I do like writing and illustrating something that stood out from the day. It's kind of like a mini scrapbook. I probably won't always do that, but it's a nice way to use that space for now.

  3. I am also thinking about uncoiling my EC so I can add personalized pages. Great idea! What is your ETSY store name? I want those stickers!

    1. Uncoiling was scary at first, but it was the best decision I've ever made. My Etsy store is JenuineCraftsCo. https://www.etsy.com/shop/jenuinecraftsco It's currently on "vacation" since I'm going to be leaving for Vegas. It will be back in a couple weeks and when it is there will be a whole lot of stickers listed. :-)

    1. I used to keep it all in one planner (business and personal) but it became overwhelming and I ran out of space. Having the horizontal planner for my personal things gave me so much more room.

  6. The hearts are perfect for checking off!! Yay for youtube videos. I am starting to want a Kikki K between this video and Megan Favre's constant customization of hers! Happy Sunday Planning. :)

    1. I love YouTube. I watch it more than TV, true story. :-) I love my Kikki-K. I recently got my new Erin Condren and I am loving the coil again, so I may stay coiled for a few months.

  7. I've always wanted to decorate my planner but I always want to spend that time online or making products for my store! Your blog is super cute! I'm a new follower!

    1. You can go decoration heavy or light. I enjoy functional stickers with light decoration. It doesn't take too long, especially if you are enjoying TV as you plan.

  8. I've always wondered how folks put those EC pages in a Kikki-K or Filofaxes...another mystery of the universe solved :) You'll have to let us know how you like the horizontal layout over time. I haven't made the plunge yet, but it's really been tempting me! Enjoyed your post :)

    1. I have been using the horizontal layout for 2 weeks now and I am really loving it. I don't think I will be uncoiling my EC this year because I am loving the spiral too much.

  9. Jennifer,

    I picked up your card from the table today at #tptvegas15 and I would love to do some collaboration through our blogs. Even though we teach different grades, I host two link ups that are open to all grades/subjects. "On My Bookshelf" is a monthly book link up for anything you've read for you, for PD, or for your classroom. My other link up is called "Page Turners" and will resume around back to school time. Each week I feature great blog posts around a certain theme.

I'm Not a Turkey

With Thanksgiving coming up, I am reminded of all the things that I am thankful for. I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends. I am also thankful for such a sweet bunch of second graders this year. I want to keep this post short and sweet so I will leave you with one of my favorite writing activities, I'm not a turkey. I'm sure there are many variations of this activity, but I just love it so much.  I love the creativity that comes out during this assignment. One of my favorites... I'm not a turkey. A turkey has feathers. I have hands. Can I ask you a question? Do turkeys go to school? No they do not. I am a student. I talk a lot. If you eat me, I can talk in your stomach. If you eat a student, you go to jail. Ohhh so creative!!

Team Member Gifts

Happy Monday! Today is my last day of summer vacation. I have meetings this week, but I am going in today to have a team meeting with my wonderful kindergarten team. This year I am team lead and I wanted to share my appreciation with some beginning of the year gifts. Teaching all day can be tiring and at the end of the day it's not unusual for some of us to forget to drink water. I have two HUGE water cups that I bring to work every day, but it never hurts to have more. I added vinyl to these mason jar cups for my team mates. Hopefully we will all stay hydrated this school year. The next part of their gift are some goodies from my favorite place... Target!! I just packaged up some of my favorite dollar spot finds and closed it up with some washi tape. This past week I went into my classroom and set everything up. I wanted to be able to relax this week and focus on lesson planning this week. I have been creating custom stickers for my Erin Condren lesson planner and I ha
