A Little Slice of Teacher Heaven {Erin Condren Planner Review}

Well y'all, I finally took the plunge and treated myself to an Erin Condren Teacher Planner a while ago. I meant to do this review a long time ago... but alas, here I am, finally doing it now!
 
Everything in this planner is amazing! From the beautiful packaging to all of the useful things inside!
 
Here's a few pictures!
 
First up, the unveiling! The planner comes wrapped so beautifully that you almost don't want to open it! It's so fancy! :) Makes you feel really special!
 


Next up, you get some extra goodies inside of the package that are pretty nifty too! You get a welcome discount, a $10 off card, and a super cute pack of sample labels with your name already on them. Samples that you can actually USE are awesome!!

 
Another part of the planner I really enjoy is all of the inspirational quotes that you find throughout the whole planner. Some are whole page inserts and some are found along the top and bottom of pages. It's nice to have these positive reinforcements around when teaching can sometimes be full of so much negativity! 

 
Now let's talk about organizing. There's all types of nifty ways to stay organized with this planner! It includes a helpful hints for substitutes page, a 2013-2014 calendar page, classroom events & volunteers page, multiple pages of student checklists, happy birthday layout and several notes pages! {plus way more}
 Now what about lesson planning? Well, you've got options for that too! You have a whole planning section (as pictured on top) that goes Monday - Friday and can be personalized with subjects/times across the top of the page! Then, you also have a monthly layout for each month (as pictured on bottom) which is great for keeping track of meetings, conferences, etc. And to finish it off, you also have a "Year at a Glance" page too!
 
 And last but not least, you have some nifty things in the back of the planner! I especially love these pre-made labels! They include labels for things such as assemblies, IEPs, furloughs, etc. You also get 2 pages of blank labels so you can personalize to meet your needs! Other extras that aren't pictured include page protectors, a pencil pouch with some neat personalized labels inside, and a folder!
 
And one of the most fun parts of picking out a planner is picking the design and personalization for the front! This is the one I chose! I <3 it! I personalized it with Mrs. Roberts across the front and I think it's so cute! The thing you see on the left side is a ruler/page marker. :)
 
 If you want to check these planners out for yourself, just click the picture above! Erin has all kinds of adorable products!
