For the first time in five years, I have decided to try a new planner for the new year. The planner I decided to go with for 2023 is from the Passionate Penny Pincher planner. I follow the PPP on both Facebook and Instagram, she has so many great ideas, recipes, etc. The planner can be found here. The planner has the same overall look / vibe as my previous planners, but the inside layout is a little different.

I’m excited to try this planner out, to change things up a bit from the Happy Planner I usually use. For each week, it has a list of daily things to do each day, and then next to each day are 3-4 bullet points to do each day as well. I feel like this might help me with things to conquer household wise.

The only thing I’m not too sure about is the amount of space for each day. I have each family member color coded, and I feel like the amount of allotted space isn’t going to be enough. But we’ll see how it goes!


In the beginning pages of the planner, there are two pages of stickers, and a few blank stickers to add in my own things.

I’m also excited about the weekly home projects to tackle; they are all listed on each week in pink, but they are also all listed on this page for the entire year with the dates too!

I’ve never really been a personal goal type of person, but this page might get me to start. I love how the entire year is on one page and can easily refer back to each month.

I use the monthly view for bills, I have stickers for the paydays and then I handwrite in all of our bills on the date they are due. I don’t have them listed on this month yet but wanted to show what it looks like. In the left-hand side where it says notes, is where I’ll write in things I want to remember to do or schedule for that month.

In my office, I have a basket of previous planners. I don’t know why, but I keep them! Some of my friends used to say, “if you need to know what happened on Tuesday, March 5th, 2019, Mandy could tell you!” Haha! I have tried to convert to electronic calendars, but I just can’t. I will always be a paper planner girl. And I love it.
