In the midst of getting the twins through their first cold (poor baby girls!) and my hubby being out of town for work (it’s been a bit chaotic around our house!) I wanted to pop by and share a fun giveaway with all of you!

Let me preface this by saying: I’m a fan of a paper planner. I’ve been that way since that one time that my Google calendars didn’t sync properly, and I didn’t know they didn’t sync properly, and I ended up missing several appointments. Back to paper it was, and I’ve been like that ever since!

A HUGE #Planner #GIVEAWAY is happening NOW over on the blog! #planneraddict

So when I had the opportunity to participate in an actual paper planner (and goodies!) giveaway, well. You know I had to! And I knew all of you would love the opportunity to win, too!



This is so so so me…who else? Show of hands!

Meet the Planner Giveaway Sponsors

Here are the fabulous planner giveaway sponsors, and their answers to a couple of goal-oriented and planner-related questions. Please take a moment to get to know them before enterring the giveaway.

Angie | My So-Called Chaos



What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? My main goal this year is to get my s*** together. Seriously… This means getting organized, figuring out the debt in my life, and finding direction. I plan to accomplish it by planning more and budgeting.

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? I do! I’m just getting started but so far I’m LOVING stickers for reminders… Thins like garbage day stickers, meal planning stickers, etc. Stuff I can look at and in a glance know what I need to do that day.

Betsy | Musings of a Museum Fanatic

What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? To work on improving myself in every aspect of my life! Improvement in my career, with my blog, personally, physically and anything else I can think of.

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? I use Google Calendar for my main planner.

Hannah & Sara | The Perfect Storm

What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? Our main goal for the year is to do more with our blog and really get into our new podcast and trying new things. We’re accomplishing that by planning out everything more on a timetable, and planning out the podcast shows so we don’t go too off the rails haha.

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? We both use planners, although we go really simple. We’re definitely not into the planner sticker craze etc. Our must haves are definitely a great pen, a highlighter, and a paperclip to keep anything in there.

Jessica from Living La Vida Holoka

What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? My word for 2017 is “balance,” so I really want to achieve that this year. I’m balancing my diet with healthier food choices, balancing my work/home life with a little more slack in my schedule to spend quality time with my family, and feeling a lot better already with the choices I’ve made!

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? Yes. I’m really bad in the personal planner department, but I use an EPIC BLOG planner to keep track of all of my blog posts. I also love to use stickers and fun pens to jazz up my planner pages!

Ashley | Happy Pretty Sweet

What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? I’m imagining 2017 as the year of decluttering and downsizing, of blogging less but putting more of myself into the posts I do publish. I want to spend my life in the real world and not behind a computer screen. I want to like the life I’m living and the clothes I’m wearing, and the things I’m doing.

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? I love using a paper planner! My must have planner supplies are colorful pens, washi tape, and stickers.

Holly | Feisty Green Polka Dot

What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? I am most excited about my goal to try something new each month. As a stay at home mom, my routine makes the days run together. Doing something new will break up the monotony.

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? I don’t.

Kendahl | Firecracker Lacquer

What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? I am going to declutter my life and get more organized. I will use my planner every. single. day.

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? I do. I absolutely have to have the proper pens to write in my planner with. It throws me off if I try to use a different pen.

Britt | My Little Sunshines

What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? My main goal is to really just simplify everything in my life, and focus on the things that matter most. As a stay-at-home mom I struggle to find the balance between not doing anything and trying to do everything, so by focusing on a few key items that matter the most to me in my current stage of life, and letting everything else takes it’s place on the back burner right now, I’ll be living a more simplified and intentional life, which I greatly need! (Don’t we all?!)

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? I do! I have been using a planner consistently since I was 12 (yep, I’m THAT person). When I was using a basic planner, I really loved to use Pilot FriXion Erasable Pens, so that I could erase my plans if they changed. I just started bulleting journaling this year though, and am loving my Sharpie Pens! They write smoothly and don’t bleed through the pages, which is a win in my book!

Megan | Long Story Short with Megan & Wendy

See full spread/post: Plan with Me – Holiday Edition

What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? My main goal for the year is to be more intentional with my time. I’m trying to say yes and no to the right things so that I’m not over-committed and I’m able to do the things I want to do WELL!

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? YES! I love my planner stickers – the best part of my week is sitting down and planning and decorating.

Kristen | The Road to Domestication

What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? Well, having just had twins, my MAIN goal is SURVIVAL! HA! In all honesty, my main goal for 2017 is to REMAIN organized. My planner is a HUGE part of that goal!

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? YES! My MUST-HAVE supplies are highlighters, fun sticky notes and washi tape. Because if I can make it pretty, I’ll definitely use it more often!

Andi | Misadventures with Andi

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? Yes. But starting a Bullet Journal Feb 1 for the first time.

Jackie | Shop Hair Dryers

What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? My main goals for 2017 are to grow my online businesses, get more freelance writing clients and also go back to acting class and get an agent. I plan on accomplishing these goals by not procrastinating (my biggest downfall) and setting small achievable goals every day. I’m going to hold myself accountable and don’t want to be in the same place next year.

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? I don’t.

Lacey | Perks of Being a JAP

What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? My main goal is to stick to my word of the year which is “purge.” I plan on purging a lot of things out of my life – the unnecessary crap in my house, the unnecessary stuff in my life that stresses me out, the bad eating habits I’ve gotten stuck in, etc. I already created a purge calendar for my house to go through it room by room and I keep reminding myself of my word so I don’t slack off on it! My planner helps too by having those things written down throughout the pages.

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? I do use a planner! I have a Happy Planner and my must have supplies are GOOD pens! I’m addicted to the Paper Mate Flair Pens.

Brittany | Pop Shop America

What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? It’s so important for everyone to think about the big picture and set big goals. And yet it’s so hard to not get wrapped up in little goals and wins. My goal is to help other handmade makers and Etsy sellers grow their brand. It’s a tough goal because it involves so many different components. My secret? Stay organized + stay healthy + stay stress free!

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? Yes! Stickers, stickers, and more stickers. Cute ones, little ones, ones that make you happy to look at. I like to add things to my planner that make it fun and colorful.

Alexis | Chemistry Cachet

What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? Start selling our new eBook on Amazon. All we need to do is finish formatting it.

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? Yes! I always need multiple colored pens, tabs, and highlighters to organize everything.

LaMesha | Fake French Girl

What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? My main goal for the year is to be more organized, use up a bunch of my makeup and practice more self-care.

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? I do use a planner. I don’t use supplies for it, just regular pens. I should probably get pastel pens and washi tape and decorate it a bit more.

Candace | Luxe with Kids

What is your main goal for the year and how do you plan to get it accomplished? My word of the year is focus. I often try to do so much – too much – and end up not accomplishing anything to its fullest potential. This year, my goal is to prioritize and FOCUS on the goals that mean the most to me – even if this means taking on less.

Do you use a Planner? If so, what are you must-have planner supplies and why? YES, date stickers.
