List of Our Favorite Free Printable Planners & Calendars for 2018

January 5, 2018 by Danielle

January means planning for a lot of people – looking at the year ahead as we make goals and schedule our events. Online calendars are just great, but there’s just something about the good ol’ paper ones that I absolutely love! I thought it’d be fun to put together this List of Our Favorite FREE Printable Planners & Calendars for 2018 to share with y’all!

Not only do I use my own Free Printable 2018 Planner for my weekly planning and blog scheduling, but I have a big desk one and even use an online Google Calendar – because that’s the only method hubby can keep up with, so I need to add our family things on there as well. Overload, you may think – but this is what works for me and helps me stay on top of my many to-dos and scheduling for family, self and my work. Check out the below list of FREE printable 2018 planners and calendars to find one that fits your style AND your scheduling preferences!

Family Home Evening Planner for Busy Moms

January 1, 2018 by Danielle

Who does a weekly Family Night? We’ve sort of tried to in the past, but I could count the number of times we actually followed through on one hand. Pretty sad! This year I want to really make a better attempt at it, despite our crazy schedules with dance, karate, school and work! I know I need to be a lot more organized to pull this off, so I pulled up this awesome Printable Family Home Evening Planner for Busy Moms from few years ago to use!

The colors & style match really well with our 2018 Free Printable Planner, so you can stick it right in with the other fabulous pages! This 2-page printable for Family Home Evening has spots for practically EVERYTHING I need to successfully plan and prepare for your fun night together! There’s sections for keeping track of assignments….

At the top you can put the Theme for that month, and there’s a handy NOTES section at the bottom of one page!

I love that there’s a cute section just for Family Goals, since we’re working on some things together as a family this coming year. Teamwork all the way!

On the right page of the spread, you can fill in each week’s specific TOPIC, so preparing the lesson will be that much easier!

I really enjoy quotes, so I even included a specific area where you can fill in a theme-appropriate (or just one you really like!) to give some thought and inspiration during the month.

Along the line of loving quotes….I put two WONDERFUL family quotes from Uchtdorf (one of my favorite speakers) and one from Thomas S. Monson along the bottom of each page!

I know this planner will be uber helpful this coming year, and can do wonders helping us keep up with our goal! It’ll take a little time getting use to it, especially when the younger kids have the lesson and need ‘some’ help. I’ll try to look at it as a great learning time and quality teaching moment, hopefully that’ll make me a little less short-tempered! I know it’ll be great, though, and can’t wait to start learning even more about the gospel with my sweet family!

20+ Free Cleaning Printables

December 28, 2017 by Danielle

Originally shared January 2015 – resharing because these cleaning and organization printables are super helpful, especially as we’re starting a new year! A new year means a fresh start! Here are 20+ Free Cleaning Printables to make life easier and your home happier.

I’m so glad to be here sharing with you a little cleaning inspiration. I’m a busy wife, mom, craft and DIYer, wanna be homesteader, blogger and small business owner, to name a few. Trust me, I have plenty of distractions from cleaning and on most days those distractions win. Yes, I’m the mom who does her best cleaning 20 minutes before someone gets there.

The problem is my family suffers (can’t find their favorite shirt) because of it, and not to mention the added stress it causes me when things aren’t where they should be. Don’t get me wrong, we don’t live in filth, but I wouldn’t go running a white glove over my baseboards. In all of the busyness, I have figured out the things I have to get done in a day to get by, but this year I really want to strive for more.

I’m hoping by being more organized with my cleaning schedule this year, I will be able to get the most done with the time I have. I know that things work better when you make a plan, so here are some cleaning printables that will help us (I hope I’m not the only mom in this situation) do just that.

New Year’s Eve Printable for Kids

December 26, 2017 by Keri Houchin

Get ready to ring in the new year with the family, including the kiddos. It’s time to look back on 2017 and plan for a wonderful 2018! Give the kids this New Year’s Eve printable to fill out their best memories and resolutions.

Do you make a New Year’s resolution every year? How about your kids? I think it’s really important to set goals, no matter how old you are. As parents, we can help our kids choose goals that are realistic and also fun to accomplish.

Whether you let them stay up until midnight or not quite that late, this New Year’s Eve printable can be a fun family activity. Sit down together and talk about your memories from the year and what things you want to do or are looking forward to next year.

This printable is fun and would make a great keepsake. The first section is a little “about me” to capture what your child loves now. The middle area includes three spaces for memories from the past year and at the end, there is space to make resolutions for next year.

I wanted to keep this simple and my kids really prefer to write with a prompt. I think making resolutions is hard for kids and adults when you don’t have guidelines. I mean, there’s so much you could do, right?

So I included little prompts on each line to get the kids started.

To print your New Year’s Eve page, click HERE.

Although I made this with elementary-aged kids in mind, I think older kids and adults will have fun with it too. I think it would be really fun to do these every year (so there’s no date on this printable!). I love being able to look back and ahead at the same time.

If you’re looking for something more goal-driven, this New Year’s goal printable is perfect for that. It has space to write in a single goal, plus everything you need to do to reach it. I think it goes really nicely with the New Year’s Eve printable for kids, if you want to use both.

How are you celebrating New Year’s Eve with your family?

Free Printable 2018 Planner for Busy Moms

December 16, 2017 by Danielle

Okay guys, I know I usually have our yearly planners out at the start of the school year, but I’m SUPER behind this year. Better late than never, right? After hearing plenty of feedback from last year’s version, we stuck with the clean design with colorful accents, but tweaked our weekly tasks pages a bit to better go with what many of you were looking for. You can nab our Free Printable 2018 Planner for Busy Moms, and get your scheduling and to-do lists more under control for the new year!

Printable 2018 Planner

Yes, the planner download is FREE – but if you don’t want to deal with downloading, printing & binding all by yourself, you’re welcome to purchase it from where we get our own copy printed…

While I always worked with planners that started on Sunday, I heard a vast majority of you asking for it to begin on MONDAY instead – wish granted! Also, we have the days organized along the top of the page, and then several lines down, with AM, PM or EVE (evening) along the edge. This will give more freedom and room for writing down the many tasks we tackle each week!

Many of you said you didn’t care much for the dates for each day all year long, either – asking instead for it more general in case you need/want to make copies during the month. Again, we made that change! I’m really happy with the cleaner look and more lines and space for writing in.

For our monthly spread, we didn’t hear any big requested changes by the larger portion of you, so kept it the same. Large squares allows for writing in important dates or events, with a section along the right side for taking any notes.

At the bottom right corner you’ll find the previous month as well as the following month, so you’re not having to flip back and forth much while handling your planner.

We stuck with offering you the FOUR cover designs, since there was such a variety of preferences…

Each design can have a BLANK blue box, or have a little line/ribbon down it (I prefer this, so I write the year beneath and either my name or Busy Mom’s Helper above it)…

Here’s the breakdown of the printable 2018 planner covers

Top Left – Cover 4
Top Right – Cover 3
Bottom Left – Cover 2
Bottom Right – Cover 1

Since we’re so late getting this out this year, we didn’t worry about starting in August – after all, most of you won’t be going BACK to write things in for the previous few months, I assume. As such, this 2018 planner will go from January through December 2018.

In each pdf, it has the front cover with a blank back, then a 2-page NOTES spread. After that is the monthly spread of January, followed by the weekly tasks for January, then the February monthly calendar spread, then February’s weekly tasks spreads……and so forth through December. After the last week of December’s tasks is a 2-page NOTES spread, then 1 page of NOTES – then a blank page to be the inside of the back cover.

I designed these to be 8.5×11 in size – sorry, we don’t have smaller/different sizes this year as we had far too many people getting confused how to print them and getting upset with us because we couldn’t tell them how to work it on their own printer. We apologize for that, but we can’t possibly help so many people with all their different printers or programs. 🙂

To get your PDF download of our free printable 2018 planner, just sign up for our newsletter below – it’s one of our FREE subscriber exclusives!

I hope you love our free printable 2018 planner as much as we do! I know we can’t meet EVERYONE’S tastes, but we certainly try to appeal to the majority of our readers.

This is included in our Busy Mom Bundle, along with other fabulous printable packs!

Again, the download is FREE to all our subscribers, so you can sign up for our newsletter, download it free and print/bind it yourself – BUT if you don’t want to deal with all that yourself and want a professionally printed and spiral bound copy, you’re welcome to order it from the same place we purchased our printed copy:

Hubby Date Night Gift Basket with Free Printable

December 11, 2017 by Danielle

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. Product was provided by the client for review; however, all opinions are mine alone. #WorldsSmartestToothbrush #PhilipsSonicare #OprahsFavoriteThings #CollectiveBias

I don’t know about you, but I love choosing gifts for my family and friends, but have to admit that there’s a few that are always difficult to buy for – and often it’s the men! Since it can often be the best idea to give activities or experiences, I thought it’d be fun to make a Hubby Date Night Gift Basket – with Free Printable, of course. With this, you can include plenty of neat gifts into a creative basket, plus YOU get a date out of it, as well! You’re welcome 🙂

Click the little tag in the image below for easy shopping & to nab your own Philips® Sonicare DiamondClean Smart 9300 Rechargeable Toothbrush!

When choosing what to include in your date night gift basket, keep in mind things that not only would be useful during your date – like a blanket, sparkling cider, gift card to a restaurant or movie passes, but also things to help your significant other get ready for your special night. I put some new shave stuff in for my hubby, knowing how he likes to have a clean shave before we get to go out (and he knows I love it, too!). He’s also really careful with his oral care, so I was thrilled to give him the Philips® Sonicare DiamondClean Smart 9300 Rechargeable Toothbrush. The Sonicare DiamondClean Smart 9500 Rechargeable Toothbrush was named one of Oprah’s Favorite things in 2017, so I was sure this one would be perfect, as well! I love seeing the items she includes each year, and know this will be a great gift for anyone on your holiday shopping list. You can even nab it off Amazon, so no need to go to the store!

I got my first Philips Sonicare for Mother’s Day a couple years ago, so have learned that they’re a great brand that I trust to follow there’s saying ‘There’s Always a Way to Make Life Better’. I can see why it’d be included on this year’s list, because the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean has 4 modes plus 3 intensities to let you focus on each aspect of your oral health, with the premium brush heads giving you exceptional results. We all have different needs, right? With this, the sensors and app help you perfect YOUR technique, giving you a complete clean. The Sonicare app even gives you real-time feedback and personalized coaching – that alone can be the perfect holiday gift!

Other ideas could be their favorite candies, a new shirt to wear on the date, a favorite cologne, or maybe a CD with music from when you started dating. There’s so many different things you could do, so feel free to customize it to your significant other – just like Philips Sonicare DiamondClean helps you customize your oral health care!

After you’ve decided on the gifts you’ll include in your date night gift basket, be sure to get a box, basket, or container that will FIT it nicely. I did a smaller basket inside a larger one to add some dimension – I’ve always been a fan of attractive gifting and wrapping!

Next, download and print off your Date Night Gift Basket Tag HERE

Don’t forget to sign your name at the bottom! For some extra fine, you can even write a sweet, thoughtful or funny message on the back of it! Sorry, not sharing a photo of my message to hubby 😉 Then get a ribbon and attach the tag to your date night gift basket.

That’s all it takes, and you’ve got SEVERAL gifts for your honey – plus the promise of a date night for you BOTH!

If you want to wrap it all up as a surprise under the tree, you could also do colored tissue paper inside cellophane wrap around it – making it one big, carefully wrapped gift to sit there and tease your hubby as to what’s inside! I didn’t wait until Christmas for ours, but love the idea of wrapping it up like that so he has no clue what it is. Oh – and don’t forget to line up a babysitter, if needed, so there’s no obstacles in your way for a wonderful date night this holiday!

Give the gift of superior sonic technology and even treat yourself to a great date night!

Halloween Ghost Treat Huggers

October 14, 2017 by Danielle

Kids love Halloween because they get to dress up and get LOTS of candy. But what kind of makes it ‘eh’ for me is that it’s often the same candy, and nobody remembers where they got what. I want to stand out! This year I’ll be making these fun Halloween Ghost Treat Huggers to give our candies a little extra ‘spook’. Okay, they may still not remember they got these at MY house, but at least it’s cute and gives me a neat new craft to do for a bit 🙂

Aren’t they cute? Plus you can nab the printable for FREE, so it’s not a huge project of tracing or anything.

To make your Ghost Treat Huggers:

Download & print the document HERE – it fits on an 8.5×11 sheet (recommend cardstock)
Cut out the ghost treat huggers – you can hole punch or cut their eyes/mouth, if desired
Add a treat over their belly, then tape their arms over it so the ghost is ‘holding’ it
Gift away!

See, told you it was super easy. They come 4 to a page so they’re the perfect size for many of the popular Halloween candies.

You could also cut out colored paper and tape the back of the ghost on it for more of a ‘3D card’ type look, but I liked the simplicity and size of just the ghosts for my own.

I’m really excited to share this treat huggers with all the trick-or-treaters this Halloween, and know my kids will want to enjoy some themselves – of course!

Printable Brownie Recipe Decor

July 28, 2017 by Danielle

I’m always unsure of how to decorate my kitchen. I don’t want it too cluttered, and prefer to keep the feel of ‘kitchen’ versus a random storage area. One thing I’ve noticed many people do is use cookbooks – then it’s not only fitting decor, but also useful! You can also use this fun Printable Brownie Recipe Decor for a beautiful framed piece, or use it when you whip up these tasty brownies for a pot luck party.

It’s designed with that ‘chalkboard’ look that I’m really fond of, and is simple enough to match practically any style or decor preference. Plus, you can’t really go wrong with brownies, right? 🙂
