2017 Best Planner For A Mommy

Just like last year, my heart is set on the Starbucks 2017 Planner. I am just contemplating which one to get, the coffee stains or the blue mermaid. I am sure I want the regular sized one because there is just so much I need to jot down. Also, for 2017, I promised myself that I will try as much as possible to use less. I am using 4 planners/ notebook right now and hopefully I can cut it by half next year. Sooo sticker season here I come!

And then CBTL sent me a planner and I was in love! The Giving Journal is so fitting to how I want my 2017 to be. You know, having 2016 as year of focus, 2017 is all about giving. And the inside of The Giving Journal is LOVE in every pages! Watch my video below to see what I mean:

The black and white monthly art work is just what I need to inspire me. I have total control of what color to put on it. The Coffee Bean Tea & Leaf The Giving Journal 2017 is coloring book + inspirational book+ planner + motivational book all rolled into one!

The only reason I could think of why I am not 100% on this planner is.. it’s not that pretty on the outside..

Starbucks Planner! Initial plan is to get coffee stain and blue mermaid then use coffee stain planner on blue mermaid pouch. During my unboxing, I realized it’s not possible. Hindi Bagay! I am more inclined to use the blue mermaid. The artworks inside is super pretty!! I could just sit, have my frappe and stare on it all day. And not to mention the paper which is super nice to write on.

Usability wise, it is usable but it lacks depth. If you know what I mean. But it is hard for me to just say no to this planner bec I have been using SB planner for years na..

And so I though mag mini mini mini mo lang ako sa CBTL and SB… then Mommy Mundo Mom 24/7 came! Jusmiyoooooo Naloloka na ako sa planner confusion!

This is my first time to a Mommy Mundo Planner.. actually last October I was contemplating on getting one for 2017. I just feel like MOM 24/7 is the perfect planner for mommies knowing na it comes from Mommy Mundo who knows everything about being a mom. Gets nyo? Hindi? You’ll get it once you get to know Janice of Mommy Mundo. Parang everything is covered on this planner. AT hindi nga ako nagkamali! This is really is the perfect planner for moms!

So yeah, back to my dilemma, I think I will be using Mommy Mundo planner for my mommy side and for my enrichment as individual, The CBTL The Giving Journal is the perfect planner for me. Sorry SB, crush talaga kita pero ikaw yung tipo ng hanggang crush lang, pang pedestal lang, hindi pang kasalan.

ANo daw?!?

Seriously mommies, what planner are you planning to use for 2017?

Coffee Bean And Tea Leaf Planner 2017

Last year, I mean this year, my one word is FOCUS. If you are not familiar with ONE WORD, it’s an act of choosing one word to guide you for the whole year. And while thinking of my one word for 2017, a pink Coffee Bean And Tea Leaf Planner 2017 arrived. I believe it’s the universe talking, saying that this is the perfect word for my 2017. GIVING.

Coffee Bean And Tea Leaf Planner 2017: The Giving Journal

This year, as I focus with things that matter the most, I learned to appreaciate what I have in life. I learned to be more thankful of what I have. When I started focusing on things that matter the most, I realized that I have so much to give. 2017 will be the year of giving. And the best way to start my giving journey is through Coffee Bean And Tea Leaf Planner 2017: The Giving Journal.

From October 22 onwards, customers can already begin their Giving Journey as the collecting of stamps for the 2017 Giving Journal commences in all The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® stores.

Each stamp card consists of 12 circles with corresponding purchased drink assignments. All 12 stamps must be accumulated in one stamp card to claim the journal. A box of CBTL™ capsules earns the customer two stamps, while any CBTL™ Single Serve Beverage System purchase automatically allows a customer to claim the 2017 Giving Journal.

Available in 4 colors—rose, purple, gray, and turquoise, the Giving Journal is a useful planner and a medium for generosity where you can begin writing the beautiful story of your own Giving Journey.

Is Focus Still The Word? 2016 is Soon To End!

I am actually stuck in 3 worlds right now when it comes to blogging. I want to learn new things in terms of marketing. I do want to blog but I also want to mumble. A lot of stuff is in my head most of the times and it is really hard figuring out what I want and need to do. As I have said at the start of 2016, my one word for this year is FOCUS.

So where am I in that department?!? STILL STRUGGLING!!

Wait, I can’t even remember what I said back then. I don’t have a focus board to remind me (I really need to set up a working place and not squat in my husband’s desk). Revisiting my post, and here we are:

FOCUS on being grateful everyday. On thanking God for all the blessings, specially the gift of life.

FOCUS on our finances. On panning what to buy, not to buy and how to save for things that really matters.

FOCUS on being a better partner everyday. On making my husband feel how blessed I am to be married to him

FOCUS on teaching my kids the importance of family and instilling them positive family values.

FOCUS on my blog, specially on the contents. Stay on track.

FOCUS on inspiring others, giving nothing but happiness and noticing nothing but their goodness.

Where did the time goooo?!? We are on last quarter of the year and I am still here trying to focus!

On gratefulness, I felt that I improved on this a bit but still not the way I want it to be. I remember I want to post a Friday grateful thingy but never really got the chance to do it. I am grateful everyday but I wish I have been more expressive about it.

On finances, really?!? OMG! hahah in a way yes. I am no longer that compulsive buyer.. sa food na lang. It’s hard to say no to a box or two of Melona!!!

On being a better partner, yun oh!! Well, I have been getting what I want lately, so it must mean I am doing stuff that he likes.

On teaching my kids the importance of family and instilling to them positive family values, we are more focused now on their personalities rather than their grades so I guess I am doing good on this one too.

Nooooow when it comes to blogging, I do have goals for this year, like increase my FB page, IG and Twitter followings to 5000 and increase my traffic to 2k per day.. Peroooooo why it is sooooo hard! I want to focus on content too not this blabber kind of content perooo san ba nakakabili ng oras?!?

But when it comes to inspiring others, I hope I am inspiring a few and yeah, the mean me is starting to go away. I am more friendly (yata) and less suplada. Hopefully in the future I’d be more helpful to other.

Yun lang. And the blabbing ends here.

Got a one word post too? It’s time to revisit yours too!

PS I just have writte, focus on my writing and my grammar, I still suck on that part! Kaines.
