I love your videos. They always answer my questions I have when I'm looking on line at these planners. You have also introduced me to so many different options that fit my needs. Thanks for making these videos. I greatly appreciate them!
Good Lord it really IS a petite "plant" journal. When I saw that in your "chapters" here, I thought it must have been a typo. Actually, I would LOVE to have several plants/flowers inside AND outside, but unfortunately I manage to kill every living thing I bring around this house...luckily, my kid is still alive (he'll be 21 end of January). 😉 I like the new ombre petite planner book covers. LOVE me a good ombre. During the Fall sale, I DID get a lavender petite planner folio. I've never been a big traveler's notebook fan at all, so I can't imagine what I'll use it for but I'll come up with something. And for $10...that lavender color was just too pretty for me to pass up. I haven't bought next year's sticker books yet but I probably will at some point. Of course if it were up to me, there would be absolutely ZERO gold/gold-foiled stickers in ANY of them, but whaddaya gonna do. 😉 I like the idea of that peacock crossbody planner bag but I don't like that kind of closure and I do like the clear bag but gold hardware...gross. So there's just no pleasing me here. FYI and for any of your viewers that may care, I googled the EC monthly colors a few years ago and I keep that little list in my planner...I don't believe they've changed the colors in a very long time but I may be wrong. So here we go: Jan-peacock, Feb-magenta, Mar-seafoam, Apr-iris, May-peach, Jun-aquamarine, Jul-sapphire, Aug-mustard, Sep-amethyst, Oct-tangerine, Nov-pacific, Dec-green. No matter what planner I use, in my head the EC colors are what the colors of each month should be. TFS. 😊
Hey Lacie:) Thanks for watching and taking time to share you thoughts:) You had me laughing out loud:) Hee, hee:) And thank you for sharing the correct EC color names! as long as I've been with them the colors have been the same...but they have changed in intensity and depth. Hey..look on the bright side...the fact that you don't love gold could save you a lot of money with EC...and other things as well:)
The clear Stadium Bag is a lifesaver if you attend any venues that require clear handbags only, which apparently a lot of venues are doing that now. I recently attended a concert, and everyone was asking where I got my clear bag - it was definitely much nicer than what the venue was selling, plus it zips closed.
@@StephPlansInTheOC I love that clear bag! I was pleasantly surprised with how nice it was. My daughter borrowed it when she went to the SEC Gymnasrics Championship. I love that I can switch out the straps on it as well, to suit the occasion or my mood. And, it’s the perfect size!
Love this! It's like your older videos that were more off the cuff and that's what made me love you. Definitely prefer this format to the more polished videos. Thank you!🌷💖
Oh, good:) Thank you for the kind feedback:) I know that companies that sponsor a review video want a more polished video. But I can definitely do this with EC videos and my Planner perfect set ups every month.
I know the previous version of the Petite Budget journal had three circles for the beginning monthly goals and in this one it has a square shape. I’m sure there’s something else different though
This video was awesome! I love the more casual style and your commentary and pen test words had me laughing out loud! Thanks for the reviews! I think I may try to pick up a vegan leather agenda cover or two during Black Friday!
I love the look of that agenda cover....I may get one of those.... I know you do mostly planners and such, but I would love to know more about your homeschool. Such as curriculum, what kind of homeschooler you are, other things you do, lessons you've learned, how you plan, etc. My husband and I are really considering homeschool for my son when he starts kindergarten next year, but I am lost with all that is out there.
Hi:) I have shared a little bit about how I plan for Homeschool on Instagram over the years. Now that my son is older (13) and other one graduated I don't have to do much planning for it at all. But I do have saved in a highlight bubble on Instagram how I planned in years past. We use Teaching Textbooks for Math (but used Math Mammoth when he was younger). We use The Good and The Beautiful for almost everything else, and they have Math now too (they didn't when we started). With Kindergarten I would read a lot and look into The Good and the Beautiful:) Don't worry too much...you can do it!
It’s an easy fix to convert it to a Mon start. Just white out the days and sticker over them. Or, put washi with the days of the week over them. So easy!
I've been binge watching your videos. Love them! I can't find the agenda cover on the website. Do you know if they stopped making it? I'm only finding the rings agenda cover.
Hi:) It's actually called a Folio...just type in folio on their website to see them all...but there is the large pink one: www.erincondren.com/large-blush-vegan-leather-folio
Hi Amanda! Thank you for the review!! Wondering if you know any sticker stops that are specific to the petite folio planner/journal system. Wondering if any shops have stickers to cover the color scheme of each of the 3 bold lines on the daily pages? If you have any ideas/suggestions please let me know. Thank you. :)
I don't use many stickers myself....but I know Planner Kate has soooo many options. If anyone has stickers specific to the petite planners it would be her;)
I am tempted to get the camel, and possibly the slate blue, one of these. And to get it as an accessory with the "buy 4+ , get 15% off" and add another discount with it. Or maybe wait until they go on sale later in the year. Decisions, decisions. How well has it held up?
@@AmandasFavorites - Might be easier to use than a neoprene one. And I am very surprised. They actually do NOT have glitter pen loops in them. That is one great reason why I might order one! 😎
@@AmandasFavorites - Would be nice if they came out with an A5 sized one as well. I asked about it, and was told that: "As of now, we have not yet received an update from our planning and production team if we will release a Vegan Leather Folio especially for an A5 book. Sorry about that. But, please know that your feedback and suggestion are highly appreciated and will be forwarded to our Production team for review." So maybe there could be one in the future.
Do you know if Erin Condren is coming out with a new A5 budget planner? The layers one is out of stock which makes me wonder if they are going to have a new (hopefully more neutral) version that is delayed or something.
I bought Erin Condren's monthly planner and their markers go through the page. Super disappointed by that. I was looking forward to using them together. Oh, well.
I still think the paper in the Petite Planners are better than in most other A-5 TN books. But I understand your disappointment. Thanks for watching and taking time to chime in and chat.

Thank you for doing this here. I much prefer these videos to IGTV ♥️
I hear ya:) I wish I could get all my videos up to RUclips....so much more goes into them even when I only edit the intro and outro.
The gel pens are a good way to carry around a lot of colors in a case. And not have them loose in a case/bag/etc.
I love your videos. They always answer my questions I have when I'm looking on line at these planners. You have also introduced me to so many different options that fit my needs. Thanks for making these videos. I greatly appreciate them!
Glad it was helpful, that means a lot to hear:)
Loved your video. I also like impromptu videos. Beautiful products, especially the florals. TFS! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for that feedback:) It is a beautiful collection!
Loved the off the cuff aspect of this video…you showed so much excitement!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid Amanda! ♥️
Thank you Stephanie:)

Thank you so much for all these videos they help me trying to select what type of planner I should use next year.
You are so welcome!

@@AmandasFavorites Thank you so much for explaining, I had been wondering about the format change. 💕
Relax, I enjoyed this. I started with HP but I have been interested in the Pettie planner.
It's an affordable planner to try out if you start with just one;)
I know the previous version of the Petite Budget journal had three circles for the beginning monthly goals and in this one it has a square shape. I’m sure there’s something else different though
Hi Stephanie, thanks for sharing that...you are right. I will have to try to find my old one to compare it to. thanks for watching and chiming in:)
Love the unprepared-ness!
Oh, good! LOL:) Thanks for that feedback Sarah:)
This video was awesome! I love the more casual style and your commentary and pen test words had me laughing out loud! Thanks for the reviews! I think I may try to pick up a vegan leather agenda cover or two during Black Friday!
Thanks for the feedback:) Black Friday is a great idea;)
Great job as always! Love the new items but you sold me on the mini gel pens, I don’t know they are a 1.0 tip! 🤩
Yes! Those pens are very fun:)
I love the look of that agenda cover....I may get one of those....
I know you do mostly planners and such, but I would love to know more about your homeschool.

I wish EC would design the meal planner with a Monday start. I may be wrong, but I think it's the only item they have with a Sunday start.
I have heard that from many others too! And I can't think of another Sunday Start product with them either.
It’s an easy fix to convert it to a Mon start. Just white out the days and sticker over them. Or, put washi with the days of the week over them. So easy!
@lauraatkins7791 this is what I do.
What fun products!! Question: does the canvas bag fit an 8.5x11" notebook or folder?
Hey Jana:) No, it would stick up to tall...and it won't fit horizontally.
@@AmandasFavorites Thank you for checking! 🤗
I've been binge watching your videos. Love them! I can't find the agenda cover on the website. Do you know if they stopped making it? I'm only finding the rings agenda cover.

How well has it held up?
I can't testify to how it would home up because mine has just sat on a shelf- I don't use. It feels like it would hold up well...
@@AmandasFavorites - Might be easier to use than a neoprene one.
And I am very surprised. They actually do NOT have glitter pen loops in them. That is one great reason why I might order one! 😎
LOL- well that is perfect for you then;)
@@AmandasFavorites - Would be nice if they came out with an A5 sized one as well.
I asked about it, and was told that:
"As of now, we have not yet received an update from our planning and production team if we will release a Vegan Leather Folio especially for an A5 book. Sorry about that.
But, please know that your feedback and suggestion are highly appreciated and will be forwarded to our Production team for review."
So maybe there could be one in the future.
Do you know if the folio cover would fit the classic size happy planner?
I don't have this exact cover anymore. But if the classic is a 7x9...which I think it is...right? Then it should fit;) But that's just a guess.
Anyone know when Erin Condren will release the soft bound lay flat planner?
It's always been in October
Do you know if Erin Condren is coming out with a new A5 budget planner? The layers one is out of stock which makes me wonder if they are going to have a new (hopefully more neutral) version that is delayed or something.
I did order the petite budget planner, but would like to get the larger one.
I haven't heard anything on the larger budget planner. Sorry!
@@AmandasFavorites thanks.
