Hi my Filo Fab friends!!
Oh how
I’ve missed you all so much!! First I want to thank you for checking in on me
during my absence and supporting my little blog. Luv & Hugs!!
It’s
been a wild month I’ll tell ya! From my husband and I both getting sick at the
same time with nasty, nasty head colds, to my father-in-law being admitted to
the hospital with life-threatening symptoms (he’s much better now), now this
STUPID government shut down…..I’ve been pretty busy trying to keep my house
together and healthy. Did forget to mention I had a birthday too?? Looks who's getting old!! :)
So
while I’ve been away from my blog, I have been keeping up with phILOFAXY and my
fav groups on Facebook related to planners and I’ve noticed a trend of people
designing their own inserts. Great! My last post was about my newest hobby and
believe me….I’ve been busy with my hobby! I’ve designed some super cute inserts
for a personal sized Filofax (or any planner that can accommodate 3.75” x 6.75”
inserts) and for y’all being such FABULOUS people….I am going to share!! My
absolute favorite insert right now is my DO1P. I love it!! I’m using it every
day and loving it more each day.
Now I
can hear some of you…..didn’t you already share a DO1P? Yes I did. It was one
that was inspired by FLYlady with her wonderful routines. As much as I liked
those inserts, they just didn’t “do it” for me. So I put my daily routines on
sticky notes and stuck them to my Today ruler that goes in my weekly section so
I could see them every day. My weekly pages got so convoluted with information they
were becoming a headache to look at. I needed daily pages! But I didn’t want
dailies with times on them…that’s too structured for me since I am a stay at
home mom as well.
I thought about my Erin Condren Life Planner and how much I
appreciated that there were no times in it, but AM, Day & PM instead. So….with
that I took off with my plight to create a DO1P that would appeal to my need
for the daily page and keep me wanting to use it. This is what I’ve come up
with; an undated DO1P that has a loose structure. Along the top is space for
the date, a place for you to circle the day of the week, and a spot to write
the temp for the day. On the left side of the page, a box with AM, under that a
box with PM, and under that a box for Notes. On the right side of the page
there is a box for What’s for Dinner, under that a box for Don’t forget, and
under that a list for your current Todo’s. I’ve been using them for about a
week now and since I love them so much I thought I would share them with you. I
still use my weekly pages, but for stuff like what’s on TV that night and
football games. It’s also where I do most of my decorating (for now).
I hope
like them as much as I do. I am in the process of designing an entire insert
set so stay tuned for that. Your input would be greatly appreciated!
Stay
fab!
