How I Stay Organized:

Clockwise from top left:

Mom Agenda Weekly Planner: I use this even though I am not yet a mom! It sits on my desk, usually under or around my laptop and keeps my notes for the week jotted down in one place and gives my husband a snapshot of what we have going on.

Hanging Calendar: I fell in love with this beautiful bird calendar when it was featured on Decor-8. It will hang in my office.

Moleskine: This is slim, fits in my purse, and holds EVERYTHING! I love everything moleskine, but this is by far my favorite.

Tent Calendar: This sits on my desk at work for a quick glance at the date. I get one each year and this year chose London to remind me of the time there, my desire to go back, and my dear friend Melinee who still lives there.

Grocery List: Finally, I have a Mom Agenda grocery and meal list on my fridge and this has dramatically improved my grocery shopping/meal planning experience. It may even be saving me money since I no longer buy food that goes to waste!
