6 DIY + Printable Planners

I recently got one of those cute little pink calendars from Michaels, the really simple-looking ones with holes so that you can insert them into a larger planner, and it's so cute! It got me thinking that you don't see a lot of DIY planners out there, which sucks because if I'm gonna start a planner, it would be really fun to make it yourself. Note: a lot of these are YouTube videos, because DIYs are so much better in video form.

7 Awesome Chore Chart Printables for Kids

School is just around the corner, and so everyone is really getting back into routine, and not that we don't use chore charts in the summer time (we don't because we're more relaxed, but we still do our chores), but the school year is really the best time to hang one up on the fridge. I love completing all of my chores every week, and then getting an allowance at the end. I just love to see all of my accomplishments up on the fridge! But if you aren't the DIY type for chore charts (like me), then maybe you'd go for some printables like the ones I've picked out below. Enjoy~

1. Free Chore Chart Printable (as shown in photo) by Mrs. This and That

2. Simple Chore + Reward System Your Kids Will Love by Clean Mama

3. FREE Kids Chore Chart Printable by Simply Designing with Ashley

4. Printable Chore Chart by A Girl Named PJ

5. Free Printable: Kids Chore Charts by Pinch a Little Save a Lot 

6. Friday's Freebie: Kids Printable Chore Charts by I Should Be Mopping the Floor

7. Minecraft Inspired Free "Chorecraft" Chore Chart Printable by Motherhood Unadorned

That last one was so cute I just had to add it because I thought it would really help some kids to do their chores, some kids that love Minecraft so much they would use a chore chart that is Minecraft-themed. Thanks for reading!

8 FREE Journaling Printables

So, earlier this morning, I said I would probably do a journal printables roundup because you know Pinterest is just totally littered with endless printables, and you know I love roundups, and will probably do another printables roundup in the future. I'm feeling super motivated today, and the internet is unusually fast, so I guess writing another blog post will do me good. Tell me- do you write multiple blog posts per day (as a blogger)? If so, good for you. But if not, that's fine, because we really don't expect you too, unless you have a huge team of multiple authors (like A Beautiful Mess). Gosh, I wish I could be as ultimately awesome as that blogging crew. All I'm doing is eating Mac n Cheese and wondering if I'll ever accomplish anything on my To-do list. 

1. Printable Road Trip Activity Book (for the kids) by The Benson Street 

2. Printable Journal Lists by One Good Thing by Jillee 

3. Kids Journal Ideas + Free Printable by Polkadot Chair 

4. Free Music Journaling Cards (as shown in photo) by Clear Colours

5. Project Life Journaling Card Sets by Happiness is Homemade 

6. Free Fall Skies Journaling Elements by Vintage Glam Studio 

7. Vacation Journal and Bucket List Printables by NellieBellie 

8. Organize Your Week with Free Printables by Just a Girl and Her Blog for Her Prudent Life 

Those journaling cards look awesome, and I hope you enjoy them! Are you gonna print something off of this list, and what's your favorite printable? Tell me in the comments, I love you feedback so much. Thanks for reading!
