I LOVE the Sprouted Planners as you know. They simplify what I need to do and where I need to be but also makes sure I am slowing down enough to reflect and unload my mind of all the clutter before moving onto a new month. And it's created by a fellow mom so of course that is an added bonus!
What a great idea to divide the top five that way. And I love this new top five category. Moms truly do have different needs when it comes to choosing a planner. Can’t wait to see the rest of your top five videos this year! 😊❤
I'm definitely getting another Plum planner this year. I'll definitely use your link when I order. Thank you for these top 5 videos! I've found planners through you that work for me.
I love my (Grand)MomAgenda, and wish I’d found them years ago. I can keep my schedule, hubby’s, kids’ and grandkids’ and still have room for hobbies, etc. They are having a 20%-40% off sale now, too!
I love all your videos. I’m desperately trying to figure out what I really want for next year. I’d love to see you do a review of the Homemakers Friend planner by Sue Hooley. I love this planner and although it doesn’t have enough daily room for what I need right now, it has so much to offer for a very low price. Thanks!
That Colibri caught my eye…never heard of it. My B6 daily from AE works great for my mama needs. I started my planner journey this year in January with LD. I had a horizontal. I realized this summer after six months of use I needed a daily. After using my now AE B6 daily I realized I needed vertical ( I watch A LOTTTTTT of planner videos 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️) So now I have turned my dailies to a week on two pages-vertical. I realized I need to see the week together with hourly schedules instead of on separate pages. I loved PTD Manager’s Notebook layout for 2025 when I watched her video so I ordered it in B5 and intended to use it for work BUT after seeing it in person I think that will be my mama wheelhouse for next year. Her layout in there is unmatched!! :-) Thank you Amanda. I really appreciate this video ❤
Super video, Amanda! I loved how you broke topic of mom planner into 5 smaller subtopics! They are really helpful to consider when choosing a planner :)
My new favorite planner is the Daily Planner by She Plans. It’s super functional, with plenty of space for decoration. And it’s a bound planner so it has a very slim design. I always love your reviews, thanks for sharing!
great video. My plan is to stick with diy planner in ec petite journals in the folio. Sprouted and Mom Agenda are top 2 that I'd try if I left my current set up and Plum Paper is another great customizable choice for moms that I have used in the past and liked.
Thank you so much for sharing! I love your thoughts. Mom planning is so mentally exhausting and I’ve been looking for something new to help my brain put it all in one place- the meal services, driving services, cleaning, personal assistant, personal shopping, etc!!! I have a quick question, do you know what page markers are compatible with the Colibiri planner? Will any spiral bound page marker work?
Hummm...I will jot that down for possible Top 5 next year;) Just not sure that niche is big enough to make it worth it. But I love the idea! Thanks:) My Top reccomendation for College students is always Passion Planner Medium size. Next would be to look at all the student and teacher layouts in Plum Paper:)
@@AmandasFavorites I think you would be surprised how big it is. So many people are going back to school now and doing it online while they are working too.
These are huge. I would prefer to see something more like papertess who has months together then weeks and dailies in between. As a mom, I wouldn’t want to lug these around.
Which EC covers? The clear front ones? I just tried the clear front one...and it's too tight of a fit. Can't snap it. The book and rings are just both bigger than EC.
I know we already talked in DMs...but I will answer for anyone reading this. I only have the LD times washi and it doesn't fit bc LD spacing is a tad bit bigger. Makselife spacing is a tad bigger too. And I can't think of any other timed washi off the top of my head...but Amazon might randomly have one that would work?!
Why is this specified to moms? We don't need to continue to push the mental load on women like this! Focusing on planners for PARENTS makes so much more sense.

Thank you Jana:)
The Colibri is awesome! Thanks for showing this as I was unaware of them.
Oh, good! I am glad this popped up at the right time for you!
The Laurel Denise planners are really interesting!
They are really a class of their own!
I'm definitely getting another Plum planner this year. I'll definitely use your link when I order. Thank you for these top 5 videos! I've found planners through you that work for me.
Aw, yay! Plum Paper has so many options! I am so glad these Top 5 videos have been helpful!
Have a colibri which I love. The paper is so thick I always think I have two sheets together 😅
That is so true! That paper is so thick:)
I love my (Grand)MomAgenda, and wish I’d found them years ago. I can keep my schedule, hubby’s, kids’ and grandkids’ and still have room for hobbies, etc. They are having a 20%-40% off sale now, too!
P.S. I have the Colibri “The Works” as my daily. The combo of having my goals, groceries, and scheduling in one place has been a true joy.
Oh, yay for the sale! Thanks for sharing how well they work for you too:)
Oh, you have 2 great ones there! Colibri does really contain it all!

I've never heard of that one! I will go take a look:) Thank you!

I loved hearing your Planner Journey;) I've never heard of PTD managers notebook!

I am glad you liked the categories:) Hope you are having a good week Kim:)
Thanks for sharing ❤ MomLife is the original full time job.
It really is....and it goes on forever:) And it's the best job! xxx
Empty nester here and I LOVE the MomAgenda. Its versatile for any phase of life. Thanks for all the info!!
Great testimonial that it can work for anyone:) Thanks for chiming in!

i have an 18 month old up to 21 year old plus two teens in between..thank you for this video
Oh, wow! What a good perspective you have with that range:) You are in the thick of it on both ends. How blessed. xxx
great video. My plan is to stick with diy planner in ec petite journals in the folio. Sprouted and Mom Agenda are top 2 that I'd try if I left my current set up and Plum Paper is another great customizable choice for moms that I have used in the past and liked.
Thanks for sharing!!
My fav is the PPP home planner
That's one I haven't reviewed yet:)
@@AmandasFavorites It's new to me too and a new favorite, you'll have to check it out
Another great review!!❤ im leaning toward sprouted for 2025!
Love hearing your choice;) yay!

EC rulers and the tiny bookmark clip in page markers work. They fit Colibri:)
Thank you!
Can you do one for college students please.
Yessss….and professors could benefit too ☺️. I’d LOVE that🤞🏾

Thanks for your thoughts;) This wasn't about having a portable planner...but I hear ya!
@amandasfavorites Will the 7x9 erin condren covers fit on the 7x9 colibri paper planners? I love EC covers and Colibri's daily layout. Thanks
Which EC covers? The clear front ones? I just tried the clear front one...and it's too tight of a fit. Can't snap it. The book and rings are just both bigger than EC.
Not the folios, but the interchangeable front covers
Amanda... do you know of any timed washi tape that "fits" Mom Agenda that could be added for time blocking? I know MomAgenda doesn't seem to sell any?
I know we already talked in DMs...but I will answer for anyone reading this. I only have the LD times washi and it doesn't fit bc LD spacing is a tad bit bigger. Makselife spacing is a tad bigger too. And I can't think of any other timed washi off the top of my head...but Amazon might randomly have one that would work?!
Do you happen to know if the My Agenda will come out with a 25/26planner? I’m only seeing the “Home Office” planner on their site that’s for 25-26.
I am sure they will- but they launch those in the spring to start in July and then go through the end of 2026;)
@ thanks for the info!

Thanks for the feedback. 99% of my viewers are women. I am definitely not trying to push the mental load on women.
Search for the content you want to see and if you can’t find it go create it.
Because mums are the powerhouse of the any household
