I know a few of your have been anxiously awaiting my review on this planner and so I hope you enjoy this post. I will try to include as much information and close up photos as I can but if there is anything extra you would like to ask questions about please leave a comment on this post and I will try to help.
Ok firstly how gorgeous is this colour !! I love pink at the best of times and so I was pleased when this arrived for me to review and it was pink !! The planner also comes in green and yellow yum : ) Firstly the planner is nice and wide giving you a lot more room to write than others in the market. On the inside you have room for cards and also papers in a side slot. The first few pages will help you to understand how to use the planner and gives you ides on how to use the weekly view, this is worth looking at. I LOVE the term and public holidays listed at the front as so many planners are generic and not necessarily made for Australia so this is a really handy feature.
The weekly view looks like this-
One of the great and unique things about this planner is the sections that have been created within the weekly view. At the top you have 3 sections AM/Noon/PM so you can split up your own day. Underneath this you then have one sections for Birthdays/anniversaries, you then get a sections labelled kids and 3 more blank sections underneath this for each child. I labelled the bottom one menu planner so that I could write in dinner at the bottom so that it is easy to view. I love the idea of being able to separate all of the different children’s activities and appointments this is really great feature.
In my opinion the back section of the planner is what really makes it the ultimate all in one mum planner. There are so many lists/planners/sections to this part that I will list just a few of my favourites-
Family Members Contact Information
Personal Contacts ( the section here includes, Chiropractor, Beauty salon, Hair Salon, Nail manicurist etc, just to name a few)
Household Contacts (some examples gas, electricity, water etc)
Blank pages
Things I want to do and places to visit (love this one as I already do this with our family fun list)
My Goals
Health and fitness ideas
Items borrowed and lent out
Family Dates to remember
How great is that? I love that it is like combining all of your list making in the one central place. See the Inner B website for stocklist details or to buy online. At $45 is is really well priced and you can just buy new refill pages each year instead of buying an entire new diary. I am looking forward to trying out their feeding and sleep journal for our new baby in a few months to keep all of his information together.
Thanks for posting this Jade. Do you think you will switch from the system that you are currently using to this one?
Definitely Danielle this is a lot more comprehensive and also targeted towards mums !!
Are the refills easily accessible online and are you able to fit the whole year in the diary? I just love the colours too!
Hi Jade,
Thanks for your inspiration I bought one of these and am loving how easy it is to use. Each sunday night I sit down and write out my two children’s activities I too also have put dinner in on the bottom row, I wish it had a shopping list on each week so I could write my ingredients I need down and just rip our for shopping.
Its fantastic I’ve been recommending it to everyone who has asked when I get my book out to write appointments.
I also love that if I take it out of my bag, I can find it with ease because of its beautiful colour.
I love it thank you so much for recommending it.
Cheers Bron
Thanks for the review Jade. I already have one of these, a lovely xmas pressie, and it has really helped me this year get my life organised and under control. I had a different brand last year and couldn’t keep track of anything. It is big enough to put my bills, tickets and everything. Also has enough space for what is going on with all of the family. I have never been so organised.
Hi Jade, thanks so much for posting this on your blog, what a fantastic idea.
Does it have daylight savings dates in it?
Hi Beth, the refills are available in the Inner B website : ) And yes you can fit the entire year into one diary which is great!! Thats great Bron and Holly glad you are loving it. Mel I will have a look for you : )
