The HAPPY PLANNER™
a review by Lara Johnson
I’ve purchased a few different planners over the past months, and I’ll be doing a series of reviews of them here, beginning with The Happy Planner™.
The Happy Planner™ is produced by a company called “Me and My Big Ideas.” It is run by Terri Gick and Stephanie Fleming, a mother-daughter team. Starting out as a company that sold scrapbooking stickers, they soon became one of the top names in planners. It comes in a variety of styles and colors, and there are different types of planners for different purposes depending on what your focus is. There are also more accessories than even I can find places for, which is saying something!
My obsession with planners, which eventually led to the creation of this magazine, took me first to Instagram and Periscope, and then out onto the web in search of great planners and ideas. The Happy Planner™ was one of the very first to catch my eye. There are so many cover choices that picking one was only my first hurdle. I also had to decide what kind I wanted, if I wanted to buy a kit or just a planner, and what accessories were needed most.
I chose a fairly simple planner to start with, and have added my own style to it, but there are tons of choices. Let’s take a look at some of the things you can personalize.
