is it august yet?

 If you've been reading my blog for the past year, you know that I have posted about Erin Condren deals and her Life Planners quite a few times.  I have to be honest though.  I'm not as impressed with my Life Planner as I had hoped to be.  

While it is super cute with it's fun bright design.....

.....it has definitely had a few down sides.  

1.  It's too big.  I don't like how I can't put it in my purse or diaper bag.  It's just too bulky to carry around with me, so it always end up staying at home.  What good is a planner that you can't carry with you. 

2.  I ran out of stickers.  I loved how clean the stickers made my planner look so I was super disappointed when I ran out of stickers months ago. 

3.  The tabs are getting floppy and starting to tear with all the use my planner gets.  

So instead of complaining about my Erin Planner all the way until the end of December, I have decided I'm moving on!!  I've always been an "Academic Calendar" (Aug-Aug) kind of girl, so in August I'm retiring my Erin Condren planner.

So what are you moving on to??

I'm so glad you asked!!!

My sweet friend Tammy introduced me to May Books.  

There are so many cute patterns and monograms to choose from.  There were so many to choose from that I may or may not have order a few extra notebooks for gifts!! 

You can also choose your inside pages.  I went with the Academic Calendar, but you can also choose between monthly, weekly, meal planning, baby bump, baby dairy or just a plan ole blank notebook!!

So if you are in the market for a new planner or even just a new plain notebook, go check out these May Books!! You won't regret it!!

And because you know I love a good deal, use the code monolove to get a free monogram (a $5 value). 

 I seriously can't wait until August so I can start using my May Book!!
