Here is my first week in February spread on the mambi blog today.  

Hope you will stop over to see!

October Planning - mambi

This is this the first year that we are going ALL OUT with activities for Halloween.  We had a date night last week with an 'adults only' haunted house.  I am quite surprised that I survived being chased my a man with a chainsaw.  Anyway, for family fun, we had booked tickets to a trolley ride in Salem, MA (where the witches are)!  We also got tickets for a local park's Screamfest, last night we went to the Rise of The Jack-o-lanterns and Trick or Treat is on Halloween itself this year.  This CRAZY amount of fun requires diligent planning!  My layout looks busy, but there is still plenty of space for more tasks.

I have shared my planning layout on the me & my BIG ideas blog today with links to all the items that I used.  

September 5-11, 2016 - mambi

Morning and welcome to my first week of September planner spread.  This is a huge week for my son and I.  It is his full week (minus Labor Day) of 6th grade and I have a simple surgery.  I decided to combine the two events in my Happy Planner with motivational words and practical documentation.  

Although my planner looks full, there is plenty of room for additional sticky notes.  I will apply them directly to the top of the base stickers.  Unfortunately, I don't think I will be doing too much towards the end of the week so having the large mambiSTICK is perfect way to decorate the base of my page. 

My to-do list is ever grown and I am running out of time.  I hope you are enjoying your planner as much as I am.  Thank goodness it helps me keep things in order and it looks pretty too!

August 14-21, 2016 - mambi

Ever have one of those weeks where you need to plan to plan?  Time slips away and you have to go back in time to complete the previous week?  That is what happened to me.  I blame it on Jimmy.  Jimmy Buffett that is.  What do you think of when you hear his name?  Sharks, cheeseburgers, parrots?  Sometimes you have to improvise.  I went with flamingos, pineapples, bright colors, glitter and tie dye. 

My husband and I met twenty or so years ago when Jimmy was huge.  Every time I hear him sing, it takes me back to my early 20's.  So did hearing him last week!  

Anyway, here is my planner spread for that week.

September Planning - mambi

I have my September month planned in my The Happy Planner.  It came together easy when I narrowed down my color choices and stuck to what I chose.  I am sharing before the pen and after it is complete, here and on the me & my BIG ideas blog today.  Head on over to see.

August planning - mambi

Obviously I am a theme girl.  Whether it be a color combination or a holiday, I love to coordinate goodies that make me happy.  Today, I started with turquoise and pink and just so happened to add a bit of purple!  (My son's favorite color!)

More details on the me & my BIG ideas blog today!

Purple peace out!

Recipe organizer - mambi

I have a few more recipes to add to the recipe organizer that I am getting for my boy.  Yes, he is only eleven but it will probably take me many more years to get it done!  ha.  

What I have done so far is on the me & my BIG ideas blog today if you want to hear the story and take a closer look.

Recipe Planning - mambi

Good Morning! I know this is going to sound really crazy! I want to complete The Happy Planner Recipe Organizer for my son. I want to fill it full of our family favorites, so when he is older, he will have all his favorites with everything written in my handwriting. Let's just forget that he is only eleven. It is never too early to start, right? I wanted to keep it very very simple. The main reason is, he is a boy and if I make it too girly, I don't think he will appreciate it as much. His wife might, but I am not worried about her just yet! lol.

Here is what the organizer looks like!  You can check out the entire thing HERE.  

You can also head over to the mambi blog to check out the details of my planning.  

I decided to keep these post simple, clean and minimal.  Using just stickers and washi.

My friend Kathy is going to be thrilled that I finally wrote this recipe down.  I think I have called her for it at least 10 times.  Maybe I still will keep calling, make her feel needed:o)

Thanks for taking a peek!

Teacher Appreciation - mambi

It is never too late to honor your kids teacher.  Good thing, because I am always late.

Here are the wrapped gifts my boys teachers received a week late for Teacher Appreciation week.  

I wrapped them in the Expandable Paper Pad from me & my BIG ideas.  I used mambiSTICKS to embellish the gift tags.  Head to the mambi blog to see how it all came together.
