Katie Daisy 2019 On-the-Go Weekly Planner: 17-Month Calendar with Pocket (Aug 2018 - Dec 2019, 5 x 7 closed) Calendar – Engagement Calendar, May 15, 2018

"Beauty, Magic, Wonder" evokes all three from the minute it arrives. It is small enough to fit easily into a purse and large enough to allow plenty of daily entries as well as journal type entries throughout the book. The pages are colorful and happy just like the cover of the book. It is full of flowers and positive affirmations on its pastel pages. I've already made entries for August and will fill its pages with notes and appointments along with my personal musings, both creative and retrospective. I've already gotten one as a gift and may get some others for that purpose. As a retired high school English teacher, I’m close with some of my grads, especially those who enjoy self-expression, and I know they will love this as they see their own children through school. This book is made of sturdy materials that should hold up well with daily use. The double spiral binding allows easy opening and a flat writing surface. I will get this planner going forward and recommend it to anyone with a positive spirit and an enjoyment of floral beauty. It makes me smile just to look at it and flip through its pages. The only drawback is that it doesn't have plenty of dedicated pages for contacts and general information, but I’ll be entering these things throughout the book in unused spaces. I still love this planner!

This small planner is utterly adorable. Katie Daisy's artwork is always so pretty and cheerful, and whimsical while still being elegant. It's just beautiful. And this planner is really full of her artwork. So, so, so lovely!! The planner paper is also great to write on. It is not glossy, so even gel pen takes well to the paper. I just love this planner, and although I own four other planners (eesh), I have actually been USING this one!! HA. That is a huge accomplishment. But, that's proof of how pleasant this planner is to look and and use. It has an elastic band to hold the pages closed, and a good-quality spiral binding. I have had no pages try to slip out of the spiral. The front cover is also a little storage space for stickers or receipts. There are no tabs on this planner, which usually is something I'd miss. However, this planner is so cute, that I don't miss the tabs. I did purchase some sticky tabs that are moveable, so that I can mark the spot for today's date, and for the current month's page. (The planner has a monthly spread at the start of each month, followed by the weekly agenda pages.) This planner fits easily into my purse, and the cover, though paperback, is a thick, sturdy cardstock type material, so it's not getting scuffed or bent. All in all, this is the cutest planner I've ever seen! So glad I ordered it.

I am in love with this planner! As a nursing student, I used to be an avid Erin Condren consumer, I bought the life planner every year, I bought the fancy planner stickers to go with it and all the little extras to make the pages pretty. And you know what I realized?! I was spending more time making my planner visually appealing than I was actually doing the things I was writing in it!The Katie Daisy planner is perfect for me. It has all the gorgeous page details that I need to want to check my planner daily and stay motivated -- and all I need to go with it is a black pen and incentive. Not to mention, the size is perfect! When you're carrying around 2-3 nursing textbooks daily, weight matters! I honestly hated bringing my Erin Condren planner with me because I knew it was going to be that much more to load into my backpack. I am so thankful I found the Katie Daisy planner here on Amazon and what a killer deal. You have a committed customer for life now!Pictures uploaded include:1. Front of planner & pen for size ratio2.

I’m very impressed by the pretty and whimsical artwork. I love the smaller size of this planner compared to regular sized ones because it’s convenient to tote around in my bag and lightweight. Time will tell when it comes to the overall durability but I can always stick this planner into an appropriate sized sachet. I like that I can add pages to it easily if need be. I’m not personally the biggest fan of the snake and bat illustrations. I just wish this planner was ever so slightly bigger so I can write more but so far I’ve been able to squeeze in what I need to record. I wish there were monthly mission board or goal pages and that there was a place for notes on the calendar page like some lined section off to the side. I agree with another commenter that the weekly spread ideally shouldn’t be broken up for more convenient viewing and planning. My planner arrived jammed into my mailbox with other deliveries by USPS so I wish Amazon had sent this planner in a box with cardboard backing and shrink wrapped instead versus just the bubble mailer alone. Btw, I use a fine tip Sharpie normally (love that it easily clips onto the spiral binding and rests without issue within the inner space since the binding is wide) and the pages are thick enough that there’s zero bleed-through. I suspect Microns would work very well too. Overall I love this planner and would highly recommend it even with some of my observations.Update: A downside is items spilling out of the pocket really easily when the book is open. This can get annoying. I hope they’ll make improvements for next time.
