One Book July in my Travelers Notebook

[@GraceBye]

i love that your house is normal lol i love videos where life is happening. great use of inserts

[@NikiReynolds_2swift]

I LOVE making lists. I used to be a major list maker. Every single day even if it was re-doing the one from the day before.

[@sbrown8937]

Ohhh that planner is so pretty! I love that pink!! And your nails are really pretty too!!

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

Thank you so much 💕

[@alisonridout]

I love the colour on your TN and your set up is great. I'm trying to stick to my pocket but I love my micro and I love just smelling it lol 😁

[@kimberlyhoward7896]

Looks like your set. Especially if you're busy! You need your system to keep up with you. Thank you for sharing and have fun 🤗💗💐!

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

+Kimberly Howard Thank you so much!

[@Karenm1969]

Great video...would love to see more information how you run your business, track things, electronically etc.

[@The419co]

I always enjoy your setups and style of planning. thanks for sharing

[@gothickornchic]

I don't know if anyone mentioned this or not yet, but Natasha has mentioned in her group before that because of the way the daily inserts are printed, it automatically prints a flap on each page and you are supposed to remove the extras on your own, just as you did. Kinda odd in my opinion, that you have to alter your insert after you pay for it, but that's actually how it's supposed to work!

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

+Samantha Pierce Good to know! And here I thought I was doing it wrong! Haha!

[@Ecuador86]

Love the little glasses bookmark, can’t find one similar anywhere!

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

I know, she closed her shop 😭

[@janettelee4974]

I liked that weekly that you don’t like. Do you recall what it was called on her site, I’m not sure if I’m looking at the right thing.

[@catrinamathisen7792]

I think you were right to tear out the weekly fold out flaps on all the pages you aren't using it. It's a daily insert. I do the same thing.

[@tinabrown6892]

I love your system. Very functional.

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

+Tina Brown thank you!

[@tracywhited]

I would love ideas on how you do or would handle permanent lists or information that you always need in your TN. Do you save one insert for nothing but that info ?

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

I fluctuate back and forth on this. When I need a lists book, I add one. Some really long-teen lists I keep digitally on google docs so I can reference on my phone or computer. I always make my planner meet my needs ☺️

[@LADYCRAINBOWLADY]

Great video and love your planner BUT how on earth you know what you will want for dinner next Wednesday is totally beyond me.!! No way could I say what I want to eat tomorrow let alone next week lol . It obviously works for you though xx

[@NikiReynolds_2swift]

What if you have nothing to plan because you never leave your house and you just want to put stickers, washi, journaling cards, etc. in your book? It kind of bothers me because it feels wasteful but that is all I like doing because I have no planning.

[@NikiReynolds_2swift]

Hi, I have to tell myself that it's my book and I can do whatever I want with it. I know that sounds crazy but I can't help it. That's kind of what I'm doing, I'm just going along and decorating the pages and I'm going to start writing in it probably quotes, poems and lists.

[@NikiReynolds_2swift]

Hi, thanks for the ideas. I haven't written in the one I'm using yet but I have been decorating.

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

+Niki Reynolds It's art! Or a hobby!! Go for it, how much do others spend on knitting or another hobby and we forget that planning can be a scrapbooking kind of hobby as well as being practical 😊

[@NikiReynolds_2swift]

I know, my OCD makes me weird like that because I was sick of scrapbooking and putting this photo there and so on so I looked up ideas for scrapbooking and that's when I found the junk journal and I loved it because nothing was right and nothing was wrong because my OCD makes me think I have to do everything perfectly and I Hate it. So I liked the JJ and then I got on the planner bus. LOL. So I had this planner forever brand new and bought about 11 more different ones because I just thought Happy Planners were genius. I was going to trade my gold webster's pages for a different color but I so I'll just use this and I took the whole calendar out and put what I wanted in it and I finally found planner peace but my stupid OCD is so bad that I haven't even written it it yet because I don't want to mess it up because I can't stand something scratched out or whitened out and have to redo the whole thing but the other day I used white out and it didn't bother me too much but I had to tell myself "it's your planner, you can do whatever you want and nothing's wrong and nothing's right. I'm just not sure what I want to write in it yet because I bought 2 of those Recollections journal books and I got the Journal one and the Black paper one and did write on the black paper. I go the cutest pockets that fit in it they are long and they flip open and so I'm using my planner as my wallet and my journal, kind of like a diary with quotes and poems and stuff.

[@faithandbulletjournals]

Love it Annie!!!! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@Jogilusz]

I know it's off topic, but I'm really curious, because we don't have it in Slovenia, but what made you decide to home school? How old are the children? Do you plan on enrolling them in public/private school later on, or is this until college? What is your education? Were you home-schooled? Is that too many questions? :S

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

+Jogilusz There are so many factors that go into choosing to homeschool that I couldn't possibly describe them all here. So I'll just answer the specific questions with the disclaimer that they are not the only reasons 😊. We think homeschooling will give our children the highest quality education because it is like having a private tutor tailoring their work to their learning style, giving them every advantage. Our two oldest are 7 and 5 and are the only ones really in school right now. We have no plans to enroll them in another type of school at this time. I have a collage degree (with honors) and I was homeschooled most of my education. I hope this helps give you a small piece of the picture 😊

[@Jogilusz]

Yes it does. I find it very interesting, because we don't really have it here.

[@NikiReynolds_2swift]

Where did you get that bookmark? I love it and want one.

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

+Niki Reynolds The glasses one? It is from one of my favorite shops: www.etsy.com/shop/FaithPlanShop

[@NikiReynolds_2swift]

Hi, thank you for replying back and i went there but haven't bought one yet but am going to. Thanks again, Niki

[@CherylWright55]

Hi Annie. Could you tell me more about your pen holder/clip?

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

+Cheryl Wright I purchased it from the Etsy store Pug Paper Co: www.etsy.com/shop/PugPaperCo

[@sbrown8937]

I love Lipsense! Could you please send me a link ti your website or store?

[@rachelwilsonplease]

The whole 30 will make you feel AMAZING towards the end but fair warning, for about the first two weeks your entire family is going to hate each other. I was so glad I did it, but I literally just cried and sulked and glared my way through the first half of it.

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

+Rachel Wilson Haha, I'm experiencing this right now. Today is day 5 😖

[@julierocketqueen1477]

I love the 4th of July sticker kit! Where did it come from?

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

+Julie RocketQueen I'm so sorry but I haven't got a clue 😩

[@christinaruiz4183]

Boho Cottage didn't have tn listings? Did I search the wrong shop?

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

+Christina Ruiz No, she's temporarily closed for the summer. But she might be re-opening as early as this month!! So keep checking 😊

[@marilynmosier6870]

Thanks for sharing.

[@grannatwat9974]

[@enchantedtaleswithjennie697]

HI!!! Can you link Boho Cottage? I'm not seeing it on etsy!!

[@AnnieSmithawifenmother]

+Jennie Keep checking back because she took the summer off with her family and hid her shop. She's hopefully coming back this month!! ❤️
