Erin Condren Review & Giveaway

I am sure by now you know how much I love all things by Erin Condren. She designs the best stuff! I get her Life Planner each year and I would be so lost without them. I love using them as they are as functional as they are beautiful. You can read my reviews for those here and here. Or go over to the Erin Condren Youtube page and see their video about their newest lesson planner here!

Today though, I get to tell you about the best thing ever!! (in my opinion at least) This was actually the first product I looked at from Erin Condren and I was so ecstatic to get my own finally and it did not disappoint. It's the teacher lesson planner!! It is designed for teachers, and it shows in the details.

I love a good box :) Is that just me?? I mean getting mail is fun enough already I suppose, but there's just something about a bright colored box telling me to enjoy that really gets me excited. Haha
And then aaaahhhhhhhhhh(angel choir sings when I open packages from EC.)!! So pretty, and believe me, it was difficult trying to be patient enough to take these pictures when I just wanted to rip it open!
I ordered the teacher lesson plan and the Cool for School Bundle, which includes this bag. I was actually very impressed by the durability of this bag! I am definitely planning to use this a lot. It's a good burlap material and sturdy handles.
There it is. Just take it in. Just stare at it for a moment and enjoy how pretty it is. Haha, at least I know that's what I did! I love the free personalization that EC allows for the planners. You can pay for other personal touches, but the initials or name on the front cover is included, which just makes it so much more special. The quality is beyond compare! With other planners or calendars I have used in the past I would have to replace it after each semester instead of each year like it was supposed to last. Not with these! The coil is the best, and it never snags or bends. The cover and the tabs are perfect for lasting all year as well.
Here's a look inside the teacher lesson planner! These were just a few of my favorite pages, but believe me, there are so many more pages inside to help you out. I love how the weeks are set up, so that the day is divided by subject. Very helpful for planning. And the checklists are perfect!! So many sheets of checklists in the back of the book. And of course in the very back is a folder and a pocket, filled with some goodies. I got a couple compliment cards and a sample sheet of the Do-It-All-Dots! Of course there are so many other pages, including monthly pages, a yearly planning page, and lots of stickers!
Before each month an encouraging quotation is printed, and this is one of my favorite parts. I love that these planners combine beauty with function. It is the perfect balance!
Speaking of those monthly pages, here is a look at the Colorful Date Dots that brighten up each month!
I also got the new Cool for School bundle, which included the Cool for School sticker book, compliment cards, markers, and that awesome bag from above. I love the stickers! They add so much pop to any page, and they make it so fun to be organized. (I'm a nerd, aren't I?!) The markers are great, I love the fine tip and variety of colors. And the compliment cards are so genius! I love the chalkboard theme and they make being nice so easy, it's so fun and enjoyable to hand them out.
