The outtakes at the end were my favorite part...thank you for including those and reminding all us all of the realities of life :) Your honesty is a breath of fresh air!
That section that you use for meal planning and then the other one for grocery shopping is clever. You just gave me an idea to do the same. Thank you. I am new to using a planner similar to this. I am using the plum paper planner.
love this video! It shows a realistic, practical but fun way to use the EC. sometimes I feel intimidated with all the creative decorative planner girls. Like I am not worthy to have a planner obsession or something. lol. thank you so much !
+Leah's Dolce Vita Thanks so much! Haha I feel intimidated too, but so much decorative stuff in my planner makes me feel overwhelmed. I'm glad you liked the video!
Thanks so much for your video! I've been debating getting an EC planner for quite some time. Most of the people you see doing videos on their planners obviously have way too much time on their hands as they seem to spend their whole day decorating their planners! It was great to see how an actual busy wife/mom/working woman uses it.
Thanks for sharing your planner! Love all the washi! I just bought a bunch at Michael's the other day to start my washi tape collection. Love the bloopers!
In regards to the peeling corners, I've heard from several people that you can wrap the cover in a cloth and then use either an iron or hair straightener and run it over the cover for 10 or so seconds, the laminate should re-seal itself! Hope this helps!
Maria Simply Smiling Plum Paper Planners are a close second though! I love their personalized weekly layouts but I can't sacrifice color and inspirational quotes!
You did a great job making this video. Its hard to believe you are new to youtube because you look so natural on the camera. My husband has a channel and I know its seems silly when you first get started. Anyway, I just got my EC planner 2 days ago!! Its the first time I have used a paper planner since high school. We have 6 kids so I am hoping this planner will help me to stay a little bit more organized. If thats possible with 6 kids!! lol Thanks for the great tips! :)
Amie Pelt Thanks so much! Your comment made my night. You're right though...I do feel silly sometimes but I'm so glad to know that it doesn't come across on camera. What is your husband's channel? I'd love to check it out! And yay for a new planner! I'm sure it's overwhelming trying to keep life organized with 6 kids (wow!) but hopefully the planner helps! Thanks for subscribing!
Maria Simply Smiling New Subbie, Can we be planner buddies? I also have the EC Life Planner. I need ideas to decorate mine. Thanks for sharing, please check out my Channel. Thanks
Great video, thanks for your helpful hints of how to use the EC planner. I am 36 weeks pregnant and just couldn't keep track of events as well using my phone alone; due to "baby brain". It has been helpful to write down events and color coordinate to help keep me organized. Do you have any videos for new mommies? Also, I subscribed to your channel! Keep up the good work.
Elizabeth Jones First of all, congrats on the baby! That's so exciting! I had baby brain too while I was pregnant, and you're right--writing things down helps a ton. I don't have any videos for new moms yet, but now that I know that someone wants to see one I'll plan on filming one soon. Thanks for subscribing!
Great, I will look forward to it. What did you pack in your hospital bag and what are some items that you feel you can't live without in regards to caring for your baby?
Elizabeth Jones So, I'm hoping you didn't have your baby yet because I am uploading my hospital bag video tonight! I'll have a separate video for newborn/baby/new mom essentials in the next two weeks too. I'm sorry it took so long for me to get recorded! The last two weeks have been nuts. Hope you're doing well!
This was one of the cover design options from 2015 that I chose. They have so many cover options to choose from! I customized my colors, but the cover is their design.
As a student I would get the 18 month planner but I'm wondering when the final December month comes and I order another 18 month do they then offer from Jan-June? Or do they only offer June-Dec? Really helpful video btw! :) thanks!
TheAriesPanda Sadly they only offer June-Dec, as far as I know. I think it would be awesome if they offered an 18 month Jan-June, but I don't think they do yet. I'm probably going to try tweeting them about it and leaving feedback on their website too. Maybe if enough of us do it they will make one! Glad you found the video helpful, and thanks for watching!
+TheGusingtons You know, I have absolutely no idea. I'm sorry, I know that isn't much help! I've never ordered the ready planners before. You could probably send them an email or check out their FAQ page to see if it says anything there.
I ordered mine today so I hope it doesn't take any longer than 2 weeks since it is so expensive and it was only available for 12 months and not 18 months :/ lovely video tho!
***** ohh thats really smart, however i already ordered it so its too late for that but if i end up liking it ill use that trick for next year! :) Are the actual planners the same inside?
Yeah that's the only bummer about ordering at the beginning of the year--not being able to get the 18 month planner. Maybe I'll write to them and suggest an 18 month planner from January to the following June. I think that would be perfect...especially for people who already order the 18 month July to the following December planner!
Elizabeth Rash Yes! They replaced both sets of them free of charge and I had them within about two weeks from when I contacted them. I made a separate shorter video about my experience with their customer service here: ruclips.net/video/MElexo2bjYU/видео.html.
Naomi Reyes The link to the site is in the description bar! It's my referral link. Or you can use the one Jay A linked down below too. Or you can go straight to erincondren.com!
+mabic balajadia The regular classic planners are $50, and the metallic planners are between $60-$75, with the rose gold being the most expensive. The link to a $10 coupon is in my description to help cut the cost a little though!

i just got my erin condren a few days ago and i am SOOO in love with it already
That section that you use for meal planning and then the other one for grocery shopping is clever. You just gave me an idea to do the same. Thank you. I am new to using a planner similar to this. I am using the plum paper planner.
A quick search for this planner led me to your channel and I'm so glad it did! xx
Ashley Trigoso Thanks for subscribing!
I love the picture sticker idea, thanks for the tip
I have the exact same cover with the exact same colors! Mine is the notebook, but that is such a coincidence!
So glad I found your channel! You are gorgeous!
You are too sweet :) Thanks for subscribing!

Angela Schmidt Washi is pretty much my favorite planning accessory. So fun!
Maria Simply Smiling It's quickly becoming my fave!!!
So glad I found your video and channel! You are adorable! I love bloopers haha
OspreyWife Thanks so much! Haha bloopers are the best part sometimes, aren't they?
love how positive you are!
Justine L Thanks! I try :) haha

SarahhFeddyy Ooh, thanks for the tip! I'll have to try that!
Loved the video! So informative! Aren't Erin Condren Planners the best!
BeautyByNini Yes! I so love them :)
Maria Simply Smiling Plum Paper Planners are a close second though! I love their personalized weekly layouts but I can't sacrifice color and inspirational quotes!
I love the quote on the cover.
I do too! I think it's a great reminder so see every day.

Love your video! Thanks!
I can't wait to get mine! I love EC :-)
Me too! Which cover did you get?
Its a hot pink cover with white chevron stripes. I might look into ordering more covers but I'm not sure yet :-)
Really liked your video!
+KarolinasKrafts Thanks! I have an updated one for 2016 as well if you want to see this year's video too :)

Hi, Erin Condren did something with your cover?
I want to buy one! but does it come like yours or did you design it all yourself.
This was one of the cover design options from 2015 that I chose. They have so many cover options to choose from! I customized my colors, but the cover is their design.
As a student I would get the 18 month planner but I'm wondering when the final December month comes and I order another 18 month do they then offer from Jan-June? Or do they only offer June-Dec?

I'm probably going to try tweeting them about it and leaving feedback on their website too. Maybe if enough of us do it they will make one! Glad you found the video helpful, and thanks for watching!
Thanks for replying back! :) I will also leave a feedback to them as it would be really helpful for students like me!
when you order a ready to go planner and you are given a coupon for a free personalize cover does that cover shipping cost on the cover too?
+TheGusingtons You know, I have absolutely no idea. I'm sorry, I know that isn't much help! I've never ordered the ready planners before. You could probably send them an email or check out their FAQ page to see if it says anything there.

***** That is a smart idea! I love that they came out with the quick ship ones.
that would be awesome :)
Did they do anything about your covers peeling up?
Elizabeth Rash Yes! They replaced both sets of them free of charge and I had them within about two weeks from when I contacted them. I made a separate shorter video about my experience with their customer service here: ruclips.net/video/MElexo2bjYU/видео.html.
How do you upload videos?
Where can I buy an Erin Condren planner
Naomi Reyes The link to the site is in the description bar! It's my referral link. Or you can use the one Jay A linked down below too. Or you can go straight to erincondren.com!
How much does it cost?
$50-$75 depending on which one you choose
+mabic balajadia The regular classic planners are $50, and the metallic planners are between $60-$75, with the rose gold being the most expensive. The link to a $10 coupon is in my description to help cut the cost a little though!
Where do you live by the way where you are getting so much traffic and background noise? LMAO:)
