Maybook vs Erin Condren Planner

For the past 2 years I've been an Erin Condren planner owner. And I've loved every single second. Loved how well made they are, how sturdy and durable they are. Love the thickness of the pages and that it comes with a cute little page holder/ruler. Love that you can add a little pen holder so that you are never without something to write with. I love the fact that it has the folder and the little plastic pocket to keep business cards or whatever else in. All around, it's a great planner. Great, but a little on the pricey side. I couldn't afford to spend $50 on a planner this year. So I started looking around, and I remembered a few people had ordered a Maybook last year, so I wanted to check them out as well.
After doing much research, and looking into the Maybooks vs the Erin Condren, and whatever else planner I could find. I found that the Maybooks looked like it was exactly what I was looking for. So I ordered it. I couldn't wait to get it. It was less than $30 shipped. I was able to create my own design, and surprisingly it came SUPER fast!!! I placed my order the evening of October 17th, it shipped October 23rd and it was in my mailbox on October 25th! That's FAST!!!!!
I was very pleased!!!

Super cute packaging!

This is the inside of the package

And here is my book!!

Month view

And then the week by week view

This is how big they are...so perfect for me!

Size comparison to Erin Condren

And the thickness

All in all, I'm in love! I couldn't ask for anything more. The ONLY think that would be nice is if it had a few pages in the back for note taking, but other then that, for a monthly/weekly planner, this is PERFECT!

Erin Condren Life Planner

So, I got my 2013 Erin Condren Life Planner! What else can I say other then I love it!!! It's much thinner this year, which is nice because it's not as heavy as it was. Also, the Month tabs are coated!! So they won't bed, rip or tear! I'm surprised some of mine are still hanging onto my 2012 one!
I have to say that I really wasn't going to spend the money this year on an EC Planner, but after seeing everyone posting their pictures of theirs...I just couldn't resist!
So, here she is! I love it and I can't wait for January to start using it!

Love how the months are on 2 pages!!

I'm pretty sure the laminated tabs might be my most favorite thing of the whole planner! This thing is made so well! I just love it!

So WHAT! Wednesday!

  This week I'm saying SO WHAT! if:

• We tried to do P90X but we had to take the weekend off because we were so soar. And then we did it Monday, and then Tuesday just decided to the treadmill....maybe P90X will be every other day?
• I find myself wanting to spend all my Scentsy money on Scentsy stuff for myself....Ahhh! This might not be good.
• I cannot wait to get Chloe's big girl bedding! It might be awhile still, but nonetheless, I cannot wait!
• Took me about 3 weeks to send out the Thank You cards for Chloe's birthday....oh well! They are sent NOW! With cute wallet size pics in them!
• I told myself that I wasn't going to order an Erin Condren planner for 2013....but I did! And I cannot wait to get it!!!!!
• That damn Minnie Mouse balloon from past SWW....yea, she's still floating. Barely, but she's still floating!

I can't think of anything else to say SO WHAT! to this week...wish me luck on weight in today! I know I'm going to need it.

So What! Wednesday

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! If:

• A few months ago I bought the new Olay Venus razor....Well, it sucks! So, I went out and bought the new Shick Silk razor...and I love it!
• We invited over 40 people to Chloe's birthday party because we know that a good handful won't show!
• I worked my ass off last week to get a week and a half of blogging done so that I could get back into my reading so I can finally finish 50 Shades!
• I splurged and got my blog design redone. And I love it!
• I'm really thinking about getting another Erin Condren Life Planner for 2013....It's just the expense of it that I don't like. 
• I have only been in my basement a handful of times since we moved into our house....I don't like basements. But I'm gonna have to start getting used to it so that I can start using my treadmill again.
• Chloe's room isn't going to get painted until December. Boo to that, but I won't have any help doing it, and And Andy refuses to do ANY house remod until his week off between Christmas and New Year.
• I'm considering using Chloe's 1st birthday hat for her 2nd birthday. I just need to carefully take the 1 off of it. Thanks for the idea Shannon!!
• I still don't know what I'm going to get Chloe for her birthday....any suggestions??
• I wake up early enough to give me time to blog in the morning...I could probably wake up like a half hour later if I wanted to. But a girls gotta do what a girl gotta do!
• I usually try and eat chicken caesar salad day before weigh in for dinner, but last night, that wasn't the case. I threw a pizza in the oven and called it a day!

I think that's all for me Ladies. Go link up with Shannon over at Life After I "Dew"!!
