Easter Egg projects are one of my kids’ fave to do. Last year, they painted Easter eggs, but this year I decided to make it different. As much as my kids enjoy painting eggs, trying out something new boosts creativity and encourages learning. Preparation as well as the entire project is easy.

#everymomspageplannerseries Hey, it's another planner related post. I have been rocking a busy life lately, and I am extremely happy with how everything goes. Though sometimes, I get overwhelmed of so many tasks to be done. I realized I just need to find the best way on how to manage time, work and finances. Just last week, hubby brought me home a sweet surprise which I posted in my Instagram account. He knows me so well that he picked up a pocket planner from a thrift store he visited where he was initially looking for an office chair. I can’t be more excited, so I go ahead and set it up! But first, here is how the pocket planner looks like.

For my cash items, I go for envelope system. Envelopes help save my skin from over spending and keep me on track with monthly bills. I have been using this system for a year now and it works just great and gives me peace of mind. Just to make it more fun, I have made DIY cash envelopes using designed papers. I put the envelopes in my planners depending on the categories. Here is how my DIY cash envelopes look like, and a tutorial on how to make it.

#PlannerSeries #everymomspageplannerseries Remember I have posted my DIY Planner on a Budget and showed how I set it up? Well, sad to say the lay out of my weekly did not quite work for me. Notes are all over the place and appears kind of messy. I tried my best but the layout did not suits my needs. I am still trying to figure out how to keep it neat looking while keeping it functional. Or else, I need a switch to other layout until I find planner peace. I also decided to change some parts of my DIY planner which I will show in this post.

I have been obsessing in DIY projects lately especially planner related ones. I just love customized cute things, and I love doing it myself because it is fun and relaxing.

I posted the photo in my Instagram and Facebook account. Here is how I made them. You will need glue gun, paper clips, buttons and the sequins.

Here is a cute and totally cool hack on how not to confuse your keys. This works perfectly when you have more than two sets of key for your home so you get to easier identify which among the keys you need to use.

#PlannerSeries #Planner2016 #PlannerPh I love to jot down notes and stuff ever since elementary days and had been using spiral notebooks. But when I started working ten years ago, I switched to planners, those generic ones available in National Books Store until last year.  I need a planner to keep my life organized, track things down, combine all my note taking and planning into one system.  Its quite hard not having a planner because I blog, work full time as Virtual Assistant and I'm a full-time mom so a planner is really handy to schedule all my tasks and effectively perform them all.  Sometimes I tend to forget deadlines, important payments, etc because my brain clog at times for I perform endless tasks a day. If that happens, I just look at my planner to get back to track. This year, I never plan to buy new planner, instead I thought to just create one.

How do you keep small items in your home? Specially if it is something you don't get to use on everyday basis and its too small to keep on your drawers.
