Plan with Me Happy Planner: Fall

I admit it: I am a planner addict. It all started with one and now I have 3 planners I use regularly and a couple I used every now and then.Here is this week's plan with me in my Happy Planner. It's started as a fall themed layout and then I found these cute little people and had to add them. In this first post I'll try to go into a little more detail about the process I go through while planning. I hope to start filming my plan with me's and posting them on YouTube as some point.

First thing I do is preplan my week using page flags or little sticky notes to mark events that I have going on. I mark my work schedule, times for working out at the gym, the kids' events, and other family related events. 

Next, I gather all the supplies I think I might need to work on my layout. Some of my staple decorating items include washi tape, gel pens, and stickers. This week is my first week using functional stickers that I picked up from Oh Hello Stationary Co. I LOVE their stickers! 

Then I start laying down my washi tape.

After that it's time to start writing down our plans. I use the top box for my appointments, the middle for the kids, and the bottom I used to use as a to do list but now that I also use a day designer I try to use the bottom to write down a memory from the day. As I write things in I make a giant pile of sticky notes as I pull them off. There is no rhyme or reason as to how I choose which functional stickers to use when. Whatever I'm feelin'!

After all our appointments are written down I fill in the rest of the white space with cute decorative stickers. I was going to a fall theme this week but quickly realized that I was really running low on fall stickers. I guess a trip to Hobby Lobby is in order!

Here is what the beginning of my week looks like. After having a few days off from the gym due to being sick I'm ready to get back into my routine. Yes, I'm super crazy and workout at 5:30 AM!

As the weekend approaches I do have to say I am excited for Sunday the most. I will be able to catch my beloved Packers play and then I get to see Craig Ferguson Sunday night! 

Thanks for checking out this week's plan with me. My hubby's birthday is next week so I'm thinking next week's plan with my will birthday themed!
