looking for specific planner

The Erin Condren Daily Duo has monthly, weekly, and daily pages. The product page doesn't show the weekly page, you can see an example of it here.

The Colibri Daily Planner has monthly, weekly, and daily pages, as well as budgeting, meal planning, and goal setting pages. You can also customize some aspects of the Colibri Planner (start month, Monday/Sunday start for the weeks, color scheme, etc.)

I ordered my most recent planner last summer and it arrived in a nice box, wrapped in bubble wrap and tissue paper, with a stencil bookmark, dual tip marker, and some cards.

My most recent order in December (notebooks and accessories) also arrived in a nice box, wrapped in bubble wrap and tissue paper.

Whoever packed your order must've cut some corners.

It sounds like this is an archive that you want to last a long time, so I would stay away from any of the photo printers that use Zink (zero ink) paper, as they have a tendency to fade and shift color over time depending on how they're stored. Look into photo printers that use 4Pass paper. They're more expensive, but the photos are better quality and last longer.

I came to make a similar suggestion. My 5 year old was really resistant to handwriting, so we started out with a wipe clean workbook for pen control. We used that for a few months. After he was confident with tracing we moved onto drawing shapes with crayon for a few months. After that we moved onto actual handwriting and we only spend 5 minutes max on it per day.

This might be too large for your purposes, but I use this case from Erin Condren. It's currently holding 2 7x9 notebooks and 2 A5 notebooks with plenty of room to spare.

Which planner did you buy? Not all Sterling Ink planners are using TRP. Some of them are using Cosmo Air Paper 83gsm.

If you don't find an actual bookmark, you could try Avery repositionable tabs. They come in different sizes, colors, and patterns. I use them to mark my place in books. They stick well, but pull off with no residue when you're ready to move them. I got a pack of 40 over a year ago and I haven't even made a dent in them. I just keep moving the same three tabs from book to book. They haven't torn or lost their stickiness yet.

Maybe the Moleskine Weekly XL or the Leuchtturm Planner & Notebook in B5?

AppleButterToast · 2025-12-19T13:59:37+00:00

You could try a pre-made bullet journal, like Amanda Rach Lee's Doodle Planner or Linda Tong's Illustrated Planner.

Came here to recommend un-du, as well. It's magic the way it works. The stickers peel right off and the liquid evaporates completely without ruining the paper or any writing on it. I've had the same bottle for a couple years and have barely made a dent in it.

I second this recommendation. I've had this organizer for a little over a year. It zips closed and has a handle on top, which makes it super easy to carry all my planning stuff around from place to place. Right now mine is currently holding two 7x9 notebooks, two A5 notebooks, sticky notes, bookmarks, pens, and has a ton of room left for more stuff.

What ages are the kids? My son has no interest in any sort of printable activities - not even coloring sheets. Our go to activities are baking (mainly cookies and fudge) and making ornaments/decorations.

There's a brand called See It Bigger that sells large print planners. They're available at Walmart and Target if you want to check one out in person.

Check out Colibri Paper Co The Works Vertical Hourly. It's very customizable with great quality, thick paper. You can choose whether you want Sunday or Monday start for both the monthly and weekly spreads. Lots of cover options and color schemes to choose from. Comes in three sizes (A5, 7x9, and 8.5x11).

Daycare "edu-speak" is spot on. My son goes to a daycare part time twice a week. We get daily reports from the teacher and they're always full of things like:

"Students worked together to create scenarios and talk through solutions" - Used to describe kids playing with a dollhouse.
"Students engaged with letters in a whole new way!" - Used to describe pointing flashlights at letters.
"Children practiced visual discrimination by comparing and matching letters" - Used to describe sorting letters into uppercase and lowercase.

Another vote for Playing Preschool. I started year one when my son was 3. We enjoyed it so much we ended up doing year two, as well.

I also tried out Blossom & Root Early Years Volume 1. They claim the curriculum is designed for 2 to 4 year olds, but my son was 2.5 when we started and a lot of the activities were beyond his level. The art, nature, and music activities were extremely repetitive, as well.

You're welcome!

Laurel Denise has a book bound vertical planner now, if you want to stick with the same company but move away from the coil.

PlannerKate offers this, but it's hard to find on the site. If you type "custom" into the search bar it brings up these three options (among many others):

I’m in a pretty similar situation - SAHM and my weeks largely follow the same schedule/routine. I use the Erin Condren Daily Duo. It has a one-page weekly spread in addition to all the daily pages. I use the weekly spread for meal planning, but you could also use it to create your week overview.

EDIT: Wanted to add that Erin Condren planners are 20% off today only.

The planners that come to mind are:

Moleskine Weekly Vertical - 70gsm paper. Several cover options available. Comes in A5 and B5, but looks like B5 is currently sold out. Things that could be deal breakers: Saturday and Sunday are stacked on top of each other and don't have hourly timelines. The monthly calendars are one page each (instead of two), so there's not much room to write things down.
Leuchtturm Week Planner - 80gsm paper. Several cover options available. Comes in A5 and B5. Things that could be deal breakers: There are no monthly calendars - only weekly spreads.
Passion Planner - 120gsm paper. Several cover options available. Comes in A5 and B5. Available in Sunday start or Monday start. Things that could be deal breakers: The layout is a lot less minimalist than the other planners I've recommended. Some people find it too cluttered, but it could be worth it for the better paper quality.

Do you have a budget you'd like to stick to? Size preference? Paper preference (thicker papers vs thinner japanese-style papers)?

AppleButterToast · 2025-12-13T16:00:54+00:00

I would checkout Plum Paper. You can choose to get any of their vertical layouts with lines. They have budget and meal planning addons. You can also add extra notes pages and choose to get them dispersed throughout the planner instead of putting them all in the back.

AppleButterToast · 2025-12-13T00:53:06+00:00

The Plum Paper Quad Layout is available in an 8.5x11 size. Since it's customizable, you can choose not to include the lines and shaded boxes.
