Last year I had a really big Lily Pulitzer one(which I LOVED) and a cheap pocket calendar that I kept in my purse. I found that I actually used the small one more since it was in my purse and always handy.
So for this new year, I bought this one off Amazon. And a ton of cute stickers on Etsy. I'll update with pics of those when they come in.

I didn't realize planners were so big. I ordered one on Friday from Amazon and it should arrive tomorrow. I decided I needed one to keep track of all of this IVF stuff coming up and hopefully pregnancy related stuff at some point too. My phone is not going to cut it this year either. I didn't spend too much on the planner, and it has a month view and then a weekly view where I can write things into the month and then the day. I can't wait to get it tomorrow. I may need to look into some IVF stickers though for it.
I am obsessed with Erin Condren. I have a personal planner, a teacher planner and a notebook from them for my mealplanning. Really high quality and worth the price I think.
What's the ME planner? How is the family planner different from the regular planner? I just got the regular one from Plum.
The ME let me add certain sections to the daily (weekly? I can't remember what it's called) view. So those pages are divided into seven sections and I got to label them with my name, H, etc.
Me! I saw the parenting thread, but didn't comment. I bought an Erin Condren after seeing some YouTube videos in the fall. I love it! I decorate some with washi and stickers that I print at home. I'd love to buy stickers from Etsy, but I know I wouldn't be able to control my spending.

Metallic sticky notes
I LOVE the sticky notes! Where did you get them? Are they Erin Condren?

I definitely agree, I cannot live without the teacher planner. I love it!

dke2010, Your planner and stickies look great! I have spent way too much money buying stickers. How do you print stickers at home?
I had an Erin Condren planner last year and switched to the Happy Planner this year. I really like that I can add pages and take them out. I don't like writing on the pages because I hate crossing things out if they change, so I always write on the tape or sticky notes so that I can move things around as needed.
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
Forgot to add. This is my new planner. I am a terrible photgrapher and lazy editor. I purchased one of the Erin Condren Good to Go - Life Planner. The front has my initials in lowercase lettering under the sticker.
I opted to get the hourly weekly layout because we bill in 15 minute increments at work. I also love that it has both a monthly and weekly layout for each month. I like having the month at a glance option for quick reference.
longhornwino0907 and bellefontaine The sticky notes are from EC. I actually won them from their FB Holiday Giveaway. I never win anything and I was so super excited!

I buy the full-sheet Avery mailing labels at Walmart and find free printables online. Just google/Pinterest EC or Happy Planner free stickers. I especially like www.vintageglamstudio.com and www.myplannerenvy.com.

Okay so I've never washi-taped or sticky-noted my planner. This PP one is my first super-nice, gonna-stick-with-it-and-really-make-the-most-of-this planner.
Any tips on using tape, stickers, sticky notes, anything else? I'm also one who is worried about scratching out appointments that change, so...

I mostly use my washi as borders or to split boxes even more. If you don't like crossing things out or whiting stuff out, you could write in pencil or cover the cross outs with stickers or washi!
I did get a 4-pack of the reposition able stickers from PP, so I could use those for things, too, so I can move appointments and such.

I feel like a planner would be right up my alley, but for some reason I have never pulled the trigger on actually purchasing one. But I love organizing things, and having all my information in one place. I haven't read the thread yet but I think I will get the inspiration to actually buy one. My problem is I get overwhelmed with all the choices and then can't just pick one.
Me (32), DH (32) TTC since Dec. 2014 Dx: severe MFI (azoospermia) Micro-TESE was successful. IVF planned for spring 2016.
IVF March 2016: 20R/16M/3F/13 Eggs Frozen - 0 embryos to transfer or freeze IVF with TESE #2 September 2016: 13R/9M/3F - 2 3dt, none to freeze BFP! 10/9/16. EDD 6/20/17. TWINS!
