Get Organized this School Year with Blue Sky Home Series (Giveaway)
Even though I have an iPhone, iPad, two laptop computers, and a desktop computer, I still like paper. I like to write things down. I have lists and I like the act of crossing things off my list. It keeps me organized and it keeps me motivated. That's why I always have to have a planner. A real made-from-paper-write-on-it-with-pen-or-pencil-check-things-off-it planner. My favorite new planner is from the Blue Sky Home Series--a new uber chic line of calendar-based organizing products designed especially for busy, modern households just like mine and YOURS. Created by Blue Sky, a leading maker of dated planners and calendars, the Blue Sky Home Series combines function with a chic, colorful look by notable paper designer Susan Connor of Susy Jack Contemporary Paper.

The collection includes 14 different products – most featuring dated calendars and all under $10 - that can be mixed and matched to meet the organizing needs and lifestyles of busy families. I received the Notes Mousepad, Don't Forget Door Note, and the Planner.
The Notes Mousepad is so cute and so convenient to have right by my desktop computer! I can quickly write things down throughout the day as I think of them. Love it!

The Don't Forget Door Note (also available in "Oops Almost Forgot My...") is also SO CUTE and convenient! It's perfect for hanging on the front door with a reminder of the things you don't want to leave home without that day. It's great for kids and teens too!

The Planner is my new best friend. It has a polypropylene cover so it can easily be wiped off and it's very durable. It is spiral bound, which I love because it lays flat. The layout is truly perfection. The pages are large at 8.5 x 11 and it has tabbed monthly calenders, vertical weekly calendars with tons of space to write, essential info pages which includes space for contacts, planning, travel checklists, and grocery lists, and it also includes a large notes section with blank pages for whatever you want. This planner is PERFECT for me!

With schools starting back, every household needs a method to get organized and the Blue Sky Home Series is a great choice! The Blue Sky Home Series comes in two color palettes, “Warm” and “Cool,” to complement home décor, and ranges in price from $3.99 to $9.99. Find it exclusively at Target.
