It’s the last giveaway.
And it falls under the LIFE and TRAVEL categories.
Since leaving the corporate workforce and doing this blogging thing, I’ve struggled with keeping my schedule, deadlines, and to-dos straight.
So many of my friends said…just put everything into Google Calendar with reminders. And while that method worked for BIG events like football or soccer games or when I will be out of town for a business trip, it was STUPID for small things, like remembering to drop yogurt off for a PTA-sponsored breakfast or that Sons of Anarchy was starting on September 9th (it is by the way).
Plus, I really like being a pen/pencil and paper girl. (And stickers, colored pens, and highlighters.)
So when my girlfriends told me about the Erin Condren Life Planner, I gave it a shot.
It was a game changer.
It is a planner that was organized and designed by moms for moms. There are sections for everything, the colors are bright and you can customize it any way you want to. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.
And since this is a BIG giveaway week, I decided that a Life Planner wasn’t enough.
We needed to throw in some luggage too. So in addition to the Life Planner, I’m giving away one of their amazing-sauce carry-on roller cases too.
(And for the record, I know these are screamin’ expensive, but it is best suitcase I’ve ever used in my entire life. The four-way rollers, coupled with the design and amount of pockets makes it easy for me to pack for a week while still being small enough for a carry on.)
So one lucky Redefined Mom reader will win their design choice of an Erin Condren Life Planner AND Monogram Suitcase. (Value at $295).
PS: If you don’t win, don’t despair, you can sign up and get a Erin Condren Coupon Code with $10.00.

Thanks for having this wonderful giveaway!
Agreed!!!
That suitcase looks awesome! I travel quite often and have been wanting a 4 wheeler luggage for the longest time. I’m sure that suitcase would make carrying all of my stuff around an airport much easier!
This is an awesome giveaway!! I love my Erin Condren planner and would love to win one for next year!!! Thank you for the chance!!
Awesome! Great giveaway!
I like paper planners too…the last one I liked was a hard cover 5 by 7 or so that I found at Half Price Books…Much to my dismay, though, didn’t find the same one this year at my local store, and wasn’t sure if I wanted to go back to Franklin Covey… So, now using Cozi family planner on my tablet and liking it!
Organizing them on a calender on the wall.
Gotta love paper planners! These planners are amazing!
I write every thing on my big calendar in the kitchen
I have an odd love of anything office supply. I’ll have to look into the planners!
We use a color coded calendar in the kitchen and I use the calendar on my phone, as well.
I typically use a wall calendar or big desk calendar for organizing appointments. Would love to try this planner!
I prefer paper planners, too. Hubby insists that electronic calendars are the way to go. My dear friend in Frisci, Texas told me about Erin Condren’s planners. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win one and convert back to paper. Fingers crossed! I would promote it to everyone!!! The luggage is awesome, too. It would be easy to spot on the baggage claim carousel, thanks for the opportunity Kelly!!!!
I like to use several resources to help organize my activities– The Cozi calendar app in my phone, my Outlook and writing things down on post-it’s. Having several places with reminders helps me. Although, I could use without writing things on post-it’s! A nice life planner would be wonderful to help keep everything in one place, nice and organized! Thanks for the opportunity!

We have a color coded calendar on the refrigerator!
Most of the time it’s either in my head or on my phone calendar. I try not to have too many places written down because I will always forget to write it down in the 1 place that I would look. I always have my phone in my hand so I go with that 🙂
The only things I have right now are a wall calendar and lists on scratch paper that usually get lost. These would be a huge help!
I use a planner… a paper one and the one on my phone. I just ordered an Erin Condren Life Planner and can’t wait for it to get here!
I keep hearing reviews on these! Would love to try!
So far I do my phone calendar, but I’m learning quickly that might not cut it anymore. I’m missing those little things!
I haven’t used a paper planner in years, but I’m a new blogger and have been writing lists and to-dos everywhere! I’ve realized it’s time for a paper planner in order to help myself be more organized and to take myself to the next level. I’ve been eyeing Erin Condren, so this prize pack would be a dream come true!
I am always looking for new ways to organize and balance our crazy life but somehow I always come back to good old postit notes!
I use a wall calendar, a paper planner, and my google calendar. I don’t want to forget anything!
I use a desk calendar to stay organized.
EEKS! How I would love to win this! I keep hearing about Erin Condren….I still use a paper planner but I am sure it isn’t as cool as hers! AND, we are moving across the country in a few weeks so the luggage would be amazing for all our trips back to KC!
I currently organize in a notebook.
We currently use a wall calendar. Honestly, in retirement we are way busier than we used to be and keeping up is hard!
If I win the luggage, maybe my husband will take me on a trip!
Currently, I’m looking for a better planner! My current planner is my brain and stick notes!
I usually set up reminders on my phone and write it on the mirror. Sometimes I even remember to tell my husband so he’s actually in the loop.
I’ve tried apps and other electronic means to stay organized, but I keep going back to paper!
I’m a total office supply junkie. I went back to school to finish my degree and I thin I get more excited about new school supplies than my kids!
Loving all the new features. I keep hearing about these planners, hope to eventually et one.
I normally use a big wall calendar that I hang on the fridge. Thanks for hosting!
I keep a calendar of appointments and commitments and color code them for each member of my family!comm
I use the Google Calendar much like you described in for instance tomorrow I need to remember to take my sister in laws pan back to her. And I feel like that’s one of those things I really don’t want to put on the calendar but I need to have it somewhere or when I get up forget to take it with me. A planner with a couple good pens, a pencil and a few highlighters sounds ideal 🙂
Eeek! I Love my LP!! I currently have the platinum edition! I love it! I’d rather the cover wasn’t removable but I’m still happy! I love the group loyalty from this brand too. And, they know where all the great stickers are too!
I love office supplies too and I am addicted to pens and paper! There’s just something about having stuff written out on a calendar!
I am using a wall calendar to organize things.
I use the phone calendar/google calendar with variable success.
I have a couple of different systems going to organize my life. My most reliable calendar is the small spiral calendar I shove in my purse with to do’s, games, appointments, etc.
I really love using a paper planner!
I would love both of these items!!!
I use post-its and neeeed a proper planner!
I would love this!! I totally believe in a paper planner. My husband and I also use our iPhone calendars, but we’ve been disappointed since the upgrade. I need to get my life more organized!
I love these calendars!!!
I love to organize our activities on a planner or monthly calendar I am old school and like to use a pen and paper for these things.
I’ve heard about these but have been pretty clueless. I love my paper calendar/planner. I’m old school like that. I also read real books, not Nook/Kindle.
I cannot just have a Google calendar. My brain doesn’t work that way.
Love this!
I have a paper planner, use my phone calendar, and have a dry erase calendar. I much prefer adapter planner to my phone.
I like pen and paper too. Currently use a wall calendar and occasionally Google calendar on my phone.
I like setting timers on my phone.
Keeping my fingers crossed for this giveaway!! 😀
I currently use the EC life planner and I’m loving it! I would love to get one for my mom and I would love love love to have one of the suitcases. I’m new to the planner, but it’s made a big difference already.
I organize everything on my evernote app and my notebook.
As much as I like my iPhone, I’ll never stop being a pen and paper kind of girl.
My favorite way to organize is with a good old fashioned academic planner and lots of sticky notes.
We have a dry erase calendar in kitchen. My husband faces it during dinner. That’s how he discovers what the plans are.
I use google calendar to stay organized
my work calendar
I would love both of these! I have wanted one of these life planners for a long time!
I have most of it on a calendar on the kitchen wall.
Between work & home my Outlook/(tied to Google) calendar doesn’t cut it. This would be so nice.
I love the life planners. I have one now!
I tried to go digital a couple of times but keep going back to my paper planner. 🙂
I have a calendar hanging in my kitchen & (of course) my Erin Condren planner!
I like to use paper and pencil to organize. The problem is I haven’t found a system that I like yet so, right now I just have a legal pad and a dollar store pocket calendar. Soooooo ugly
a combination of Google Calendar and Outlook!
I keep a checklist and prioritize what is most important first. It is the only way I can manage and stay organized.
I love Erin Condren planners. What a fantastic prize package.
I’ve heard good things about her products, but have never purchased one. I tend to write things down as well. Just haven’t got into the whole “google calendar”, or iphone calendar yet.
BINS AND BASKETS
i got calendar alerts on my phone.
I agree with using a paper planner. I do keep a calendar online but I print it and then scribble all over the paper one, making changes occasionally to the one online. I do not have a smart phone but I know I’d do the same whether I had one or not. I still go crazy over new school supplies, office supplies, etc.
I am like you pen an paper all the way, I am a mom of 5. I need to open a calendar and see a month at a time my phone calendar doesn’t cut it for this momma
I have to use pen and paper too. Every time I use an app or online calendar I end up feeling so frazzled and worried I’m forgetting something.
Google Calendar!
I just became a Mom of two (as of last week) and could sure use that life planner!!!
Great items. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the paper planner, I have notes everywhere. This would be perfect to organize them all.
My Erin Condren Life Planner! I take it with me everywhere. I just can’t organize life on a smartphone.

I love using my Erin Condren planner. I don’t go anywhere without it.
I’m a list maker – I use the notes app on my phone to make tons of lists!

I need this!
I use a planner and write absolutely everything so that our family doesn’t forget and add it to our google calendar as well.
Huge wall calendar we did ourselves with chalk paint. We make it exciting for the kids so that everyone feels included in activities.

I’m currently using a very ugly 2014 planner I got for free and Google calendar to coordinate everything, but I would LOVE an E.C. planner!!!
I use calendars. All the time. I love to make them and make them all pretty and fancy and use colored sharpies!
I’m excited about the new direction of the site! Thanks for the giveaways too.
I have a good ol’ fashioned Day Planner. I remember the very first year I didn’t have an agenda (I think we started those in elementary school, all the way through college!), my brain went spastic! I couldn’t handle a simple to do list, or calendar, I needed something more!!
My favorite way currently? Google calendar…though it’s not always super effective. I keep thinking about going back to a paper planner…
I keep organized by writing done events and appointments on a calendar on the wall.
I have an old school paper calendar, the 2 year small kind that look like a checkbook!
I use a small planner in my purse and the Outlook calendar. thanks for the opportunity!
I always have my planner with me. Im in need of a new one though.
I love having a planner, but haven’t found something that suits me EXACTLY right. Which is why I want to win this Erin Condren life planner so badly! lol I love that Erin Condren’s planners have stickers and beautiful colors and so many different things to help keep one organized! 🙂 I’ve been drooling over the YouTube videos of different organizing ideas people have with their Erin Condren Life Planners. 🙂
I like to use my outlook calendar that is synced to my phone. I set reminders for an hour before or several days before, depending in the event. I use scratch paper for to do lists at home.
I love having a planner i can easily fit in my purse. I’d be interested in order thru Erin condren but don’t see a $10 off code i can use.
I am so excited for this giveaway. Thank you!!
Google calendar. It’s everywhere I need it – smartphone and laptop.
I try to keep everything on my phone, but I think a planner would be awesome!
I love my Erin Condren planner, but it’s finished in December!
I love my Erin Condren planner. You are right. It IS a game changer. It makes it easier to remember all the little things that I never put in my iCal. I’d love to win one and share with my mom. She always is so envious of mine. I’d also love to check out their luggage. I just saw an investigative piece on how filthy airplane cargo holds are. I’d love to get a hardshell case and be able to clean it thoroughly after every trip!
Sure would love to have an Erin Condren Planner!
I have a big calendar on the fridge to keep on schedule and lists going on my desk for things needed and to be done. I really need to combine it all down.
I love to use a planner! There’s nothing better than writing it down!
A great planner is an invaluable tool.
I use notes, reminders, and my calender on my phone
Awesome giveaway!
My phone is where I organize everything. However I really think a visual planner like this would be wonderful.
Our family uses a “family calendar” and our phones. Would love to find other ways to make it easy! 😀
Awesome Giveaway. I love Erin Condren, got my fingers crossed.

One centralized place for the whole family, a big calendar.

I use a binder and and 2 pieces of paper! calendar on my cabinet and meal planning on my fridge! Not fun at all!!!!!
I’m always writing things down and leaving my slips of paper everywhere. I have yet to find a great planner. Would love to try this one.
I currently use a $7 planner from Target. It’s so plain and uninspiring. The same goes for my suitcase. I would love to win the EC Life Planner and luggage so I can add a little fun and inspiration in my life.
Most everyone I work with uses an Erin Condren calendar! I have heard nothing but great things about the layout!!
I use a wall calendar … old-fashioned, yet helps me and my mom brain!
I write everything in a planner
Currently I write everything on a wall calendar in the kitchen. I’ve been thinking I need to upgrade, and this planner sounds perfect!
I definitely need to write things down to stay organized. I’ve tried using my iPhone, but it just doesn’t work as well as good ol’ fashioned hand-written notes.
We have a wipe off calendar in the hallway leading to our pantry that contains everyone’s schedules. This would make a great addition!
I really need a new suitcase! And no I won’t share it with my 13 and 16 year old! Ok…maybe but not happily!

I use my google calendar with my gmail.
Lists, binders, and my trusty organizer!
I toggle between a work calendar and a calendar at home to keep track of events and appointments. Would love to see what this Erin Condren planner is all about!
I have a paper planner that goes with me everywhere
I love paper planners. I have heard great things about the Erin C planners, but I haven’t bought one myself. This would make organizing my first year of teaching so much easier.
I need to get organized. Im a mess! I keep some stuff on my Outlook calendar at work that syncs to my phone, and some handwritten on calendar hanging at home — but its not working!
I use a wall calendar to document
I have wanted one of these suitcases forever! I just could not fathom spending that kind of money on myself :0
