Homemaker’s Planner Giveaway!

Every homemaker needs a way to keep track of her world. There is so much that needs to be done and to do any of it well, you need a plan. That’s where Homemaker’s Friend 2013 Daily Planner comes in!

The Homemaker’s Planner has yearly, monthly, and weekly planning sheets so you can keep track of things at a glance.  Everything is in one pretty little book that makes me smile every time I look at it!

One of my favorite features of the planner is the perforated Shopping Lists at the back.  I keep the planner on my island, so I can easily write down what I need as I run out of things.  Then, you just tear off the sheet and head to the store (I use this for short lists…my longer lists get transferred to Cozi.)

Another favorite is the Task List.  This is a place to write down all those things you need to do that are cluttering up your head.  I’m a pen and paper person, but so often I lose my pieces of paper!  Putting the To-Do’s in the Task List keeps them in one place.

So, what are you waiting for!  Get organized for 2013 (planner starts December 2012) by entering the Planner Giveaway below!

Don’t want to wait?
The Homemaker’s Planner is $13.99 and includes
FREE SHIPPING for U.S. residents!

  4. HI
    I am a 53 yr old wife, mother,g.mother and homeschool mom and have not yet been able to keep a planner. My mom never taught me to plan my days and I just have never learned how to keep up with one. I am a mom of 6 children 3 married and have a 16 yr old, 13 yr old and a seven year old at home. I would love to win this planner and I humbly ask Amy to teach me how to use it.
    Blessings

  7. As a homeschool mama who also writes and edits, it’s a necessity for me to stay organized! Throw in my husband’s various doctor/VA appointments, church stuff, and the kids’ activities and life could fall apart without meticulous organization.

  8. This is our first year of homeschooling and I feel totally unorganized! I need some organizational help! (I’m really enjoying your series, by the way!)

  11. I need and woul love this planner to help me organize our days and the many medical appts we have due my son”s illness and mine..

    Reply ↓

  13. I semi-use a planner. I buy a large desktop calendar and hand it on my fridge. I’m not the best about putting anything except birthdays and appointments on it though. Occasionally I do use it to write cleaning ideas on as well. This planner sounds like one that might function better for our needs.

  15. Oh, how I need something to help get me back on track! Since our house burned down in June, it’s been rather difficult to get our homeschool time back. We lived with my parents for 4 months (hubby, me and 3 rambunctious boys!) and between making decisions about light fixtures and plumbing and cleaning soot covered kitchen items (among all the other things that have to be done!) school has taken a backseat. Thankfully, my oldest is only in second grade, so we have a little more flexibility.

  17. I need this planner because I am a big ol’ mess. Three little boys and homeschooling Kindergarten have thrown me for a loop. :)

    Reply ↓

  19. I can never keep everything in the same place, menus, grocery lists, plans, they get scattered all over. This planner would help me out!

    Reply ↓

  21. Hey! I’d love to win this…I don’t really use a planner, but rather tend to leave little lists on scrap paper lying around the kitchen, then then, of course lose them! ;-) Been thinking I should try something better for a while.

  23. I am a new pastor’s wife, a mother of 2 grown children, 2 grown stepchildren and an honorary mom to 3 that don’t have moms in their lives. I have 6 grandchildren and I am an honorary Nana to one little 2 year old and another honorary daughter is expecting a baby boy in March 2013. I love them all dearly! So many details to remember! I am meeting myself coming and going and can’t remember where I am going or where I have been! I do not leave my home without to do lists, where I need to go lists, what I need to buy lists. I would be physically lost without my lists and my GPS! Sometimes my list drives me crazy! So many lose papers! ERRRR. I need this organizer so badly! If I don’t win one, I will be ordering it! I absolutely adore sunflowers and my house is decorated throughout with them!

  24. Hello! I LOVE lists of things that need done or shopping lists. My problem is I write it one list in one notebook then that one gets swiped for my child to draw in then I write another list in anther notebook and that get losts and so and son. I end up with lists I can’t find :) A planner would be a great simple way to keep my lists useful and not lost,lol.

  25. I just love this series! it has help break down the basics of homemaking and homeschooling needed to rethink how to change for the change in our lives. I have looked at this planner for a while and really think its a must( post it notes just are not working anymore). I am currently going through a change in homelife seasons with a move to our new homestead, 2nd baby due in January, homeschooling, and running our two homebased business while hubby is away in the oilfield. the amazing thing is im not stressed about it at all just trying to get it all done. The Lord has blessed us and our dreams are comming true. Im so glad He has led me to your site and series to help give me the tools needed to help figure out all this!

  30. Having just returned to the U.S. after living 5 years on the mission field in Tanzania, I feel like I’m starting over, somewhat, in household management. This could be just what I need to help me get back on track!

  34. Every time I see a post like this, I look around my kitchen and say “ugh. I totally need to do this.” Hopefully I can stick with it this time!

  35. My current planner runs out in December – time for a new one! I’ve learned that I just can’t manage my home, 3 children, MOPS group, and church activities without a plan. I’m also terrible at menu planning, so maybe having a specific place for it each day will help make that dreaded task a little easier.

    Reply ↓

  36. I’m always on the hunt for a good planner that does “it all”. I’m finding all sorts that handles only part of what I need. I got excited when I noticed this had a “menu” spot. :D Then I read further and it has a grocery list too! Be still my heart! :D

    Reply ↓

  39. I’m a new reader, but so far I’m inspired! I have a small family (only one child), but intend to homeschool. I also work from home. I just finished reading the She Wears Skirts series and while I don’t feel it necessary to wear skirts all the time I do like the idea of wearing them more often. That being said, I followed a link posted in the comments of one of those posts and made a “new” skirt out of 2 old pairs of jeans! I think this organizer would be a great addition to my household, as I tend to lose my lists shortly after I make them. It would also make keeping work schedules and everything else more organized in my poor head!

  40. I need something like this. Between homescholing 4 kids and taking my father to doctors visits and keeping track of things around our little farm and sewing tasks that I have and so much more I need to keep track of this seems perfect!

    Reply ↓

  41. My current planner expires in December, and I KNOW I can’t keep track of everything for my home, children, MOPS group, church & bills without one! I’m also terrible at menu planning. Hopefully having a spot for it every day will help get me on track!

    Reply ↓

  43. This is my first year of homeschooling and I have found that being organized isn’t one of my strongest traits sooooo I would absolutely love this organizer and a whole lot of prayer! :)

    Reply ↓

  48. I would love to win this planner! I am a homeschool mom of three and also in the middle of getting my BA degree in English while trying to get it all together to get into Graduate School. There is no such thing as too much organization in this house! :)

    Reply ↓

  49. I am so not organized, and it really stresses me out! I need a planner like this to get everything in my head on paper so I won’t forget important events!

    Reply ↓

  50. I have a planner similar to this one that I found at Big Lots some time ago; it had tear-off sides for a weekly menu, shopping list, etc, but never enough space to write a menu for EVERY day. I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime find for me, but this one may be the one-up! Much more space for each day. :)

    Reply ↓

  51. My natural personality is supposedly an organized one. However, I grew up in a messy house with a messy family and never really learned HOW to be organized :( I have been looking for a planner or something to help me get on track.

    Reply ↓

  65. This planner sounds just like what I need.

My little pieces of paper with shopping reminders is NOT working! Surprise. ;)

  84. I could totally use this next year. Baby 3 is coming in late Nov/early Dec and I’d like to try homeschooling next year for my preschooler. This would seriously help me organize the things I need to do…especially being ADD and not able to take medicine due to pregnancy and nursing for the last 4 years!
    Love your blog! :)

  89. I need a planner b/c I am mommie to 3 kids. I homeschool 2 of them and the other one is in pre-k at a private school and I will begin homeschooling him next year. I am also the bill payer, house cleaner, daisy scout leader, children’s ministry worker at church, and many other things fall under my responsibilities. I have tried a few other planners and they have worked well but I need an all in one. This sounds like it would work for me.

  100. I am not a schedule person by nature but am realizing that as a homeschooling mom of five, I’d better learn and quick. I often feel overwhelmed at the state of our home and definitely function better in a tidy environment. I would love to pass on good housekeeping skills to my children but need all the help I can get while I learn first!

    Reply ↓

  101. I NEED something like this, because I cannot seem to get in a good groove that lasts…A few days, or maybe a week max then life is back to “catch up.” I make lists on random pages in a notebook then either seem to lose the list, some little one comes & colors on it:) etc. etc.

    Reply ↓

  138. Why do I need a planner? Let me count the reasons. :-) We moved across the country last week, far, far away from all family and friends. I started our first year of homeschooling. My 17 month old still wakes 2-6 times a night, so I’m in a constant fog, and I can’t find my old planner. I’d love to win!

I love the perforated corners and when you mentioned the perforated shopping list at the back, I said, “YES!!” What a wise idea. My weakness is organization and planners help folks such as I.
    Thanks for the time you put into your blog….I am encouraged to keep pressing on!

  160. I honestly think the more babies I make, the more I loose my brains! I have baby number three due Jan 31, 2013 and I’m trying to get organized now before it’s too late and I’m just a complete mess. LOL I leave notes and they go missing! I never have something right there to write down a thing. My husband teases me all of the time on how organized I used to be and how I used to remember things. I told him it is really his fault. Hee hee. Your planner is just the thing to get me into the swing of things… espcially when baby 3 comes! At least my husband will know where to look for everything with no excuse. :)

  164. Hi,
    I have really enjoyed your blog for a while now.
    I really need a planner! I have had a hard time getting a routine going since we left to Israel and lived there for 8 months.We sold everything thinking we were not coming back.But our Heavenly Father’s ways are not our ways right?His thoughts are not our thoughts,h.He had other plans for us! We moved around until my husband was finally able to get a job again! Then we got pregnant with our first reversal baby(after 6 babies that are no longer with us here ,1 girl and boy known),Praise Yahweh( hebrew name for god)! Now we have a beautiful baby boy Samuel David. He was born 6 weeks early when my water broke in the process of moving! SO we never really got unpacked and I needed to stay with him in NICU for 2 weeks! I also have tow older children I home school.Then we had to move from there about a month later because of problems the owner wouldn’t or wasn’t able to help fix. SO we moved again!SO, Lo and Behold here we are in our new place still unorganized and in desperate need of a plan and routine! Thank goodness I get your emails of so many tips and delicious recipes to take ou some of the hard work when you have a now 5 month old,9 year old and 12 year old homeschooling and baby full time breast feeding and colicky but attached to you all day!LOL I love him and love him with me all day but am in need of getting our life organized and fially planned out!
    ps.I tried your delicious autumn recipes: chicken pot pie and pumpkin crunch cake, both were hits in our home! Oh and also the pancakes! would love more posts with recipes!
    thank you so much for your ministry!
    many blessings to you and your family!
