Yearly Blog Planher Review

Earlier this year I was selected to become part of a review team with Mosaic Reviews. I was really excited to become part of this team. I have never reviewed stuff before and I thought it would kind of be fun to do. So I was really excited to be excepted as part of this team. Not knowing what to expect, I have come to love being part of this group of people who form the Mosaic Review team.

Our first assignment was to pick a blog planner from a list of about ten and start getting organized. I must admit I already had a way to organize my blog. Basically it is a calendar that I write all my posts on. I still do my Disney blog this way.

The blog planner that I picked is the Yearly Blog Planher. You can find the planner here at Homeschool Creations. The reason I picked this planner was that this was the one that I thought I would actually use. I loved that it had spots that I could write my blog posts titles on and basically be on one page that I could see at a glance.

This planner has a half page calendar, which is fine but personally I like a full page calendar with bigger spaces, since I write big. But I just added a full size calendar to my binder and I am happy with that.

This planner has a spot to write review and giveaway information on so that everything is right there in one spot. There is also a place to write your to do list for the week on the weekly calendar pages.

There is also additional planning help pages.
This planner is free but you have to print it out. Since I was planning on using this planner for my blog I wanted to have it in a binder. So I spent some time punching holes in all the pages and setting up my binder.

I have it all organized according to month with  clear colored page dividers so that I can go to a specific month without flipping through each page.

So now I have a nice blog planner that didn't cost me much money. Besides printing the planner it only cost me under $3.00 to get it the way I wanted it. ( $2 for the index tabs and under a dollar for the binder.)

At the beginning of this review I thought I would give this planner a try but I really thought I wasn't going to keep it once I used it for a while. But now after using the planner for several weeks, I really like it. I like it so much that I thought about printing another one and then using it for my Disney blog.
