Lovely Little Planner

Oh, happy days! I created a teacher planner for myself years ago after searching and searching for a planner that had everything I wanted and needed. I found many amazing planners out there but they were all pretty expensive, especially considering I live in Canada. By the time I buy a teacher planner in the $60 price range, I am looking at spending over $78.00 in U.S. dollars for the planner and then at least $40+ on shipping. I couldn't find any teacher planners that were local for me and had what I wanted. I am so- happy to see these Lovely Little Planners come to life to share with you! '

I am also giving away one of these Lovely Little Planners (that isn't so little) on the Lovely Literacy and More Instagram. Make sure you go like the original photo of this teacher planner before April 2nd on Instagram. While this teacher planner was made in Canada, it can be used for both Canadians and Americans. :)

 This 9" x 11" planner has a laminated cover page & back page, with a total of 254 pages.

These special dates include Canadian and American 

dates to help you stay on top of important events.

 Keep up with all those special birthdays

in your Lovely Little Planner.

 Keep track of parent emails and other 

important emails in your Lovely Little Planner.

 Easily keep track of how your children come to 

school & go home in your Lovely Little Planner.

 Keep track of your daily schedule

in your Lovely Little Planner.

You can keep organized in your Lovely Little Planner.

Help stay organized with these "on the menu" weekly meal plans in your

Lovely Little Planner. 

 Keep track of your reading, writing and math groups, 

along with your student observations

Planning ahead in Mermaid style

With the new year now here I have transformed our 2015 Lovely Little Planners into 2016-2017 Mermaid style Lovely Little Planners. I have been eyeing this print all Fall & Christmas. I am loving these fun, bright colours.

I already have this Mermaid Lovely Little Planner available in a digital file on TeachersPayTeachers.

It's time to get organized! You can grab this Lovely Little Planner at a discounted price until the end of the school year.

It's All About Them Pineapples

If I could use one word for this summer it would be- pineapple. Every where I looked this summer I saw fruit but the pineapple was the center of attention. Whether you ate it, decorated your house with it, wore it or threw a party in style with pineapples, they were every where.

 Head to my Pinterest to check out these 

adorable pineapple pins for the details on each.

 I love this summer's pineapple trend and when I saw Tracey Gurley Designs' pineapple 

paper I just HAD to make it into one of my Lovely Little Planners. 

 If you are looking for a teacher planner / lesson planer that will save you time and money then you don't have to look any further. It's all right here! If there is something that you would like added to this planner all you have to do is let me know and I will do my best to create it for you. 

I just love this pineapple print! It is so much fun and bright. <3

DIY Notepads & freebie

Looking for pretty notepads for your classroom or home? I found this awesome post by Today's Creative Life on Pinterest that shows you step by step how to make a notepad. My first thought was... Can I really make my own notepad?! Talk about a great way to save money as a teacher who uses notepads like crazy, or the mom in me that jots down things to remember, or the wife in me that makes a weekly grocery list. Need I say more? I go through many notepads. :) My second thought was... I always have an idea of a pretty notepad when I shop for notepads but never find exactly what I am looking for so why not create my own notepad design. I love this floral watercolor print and I think you will too.

First thing is first. Go check out the tutorial by Today's Creative Life so you can see just how to make your own notepad. You can then download the floral notepad template to download from google docs by clicking here. You can also download by clicking on the photo below.

I also created a Teacher Planner to match. Did I tell you how much I love this print. :)
