Happy New Year!  As I get ready to kick off a brand new 2013 with all of you, little has made me more excited and getting to break open my brand new 2013 calendar / planner. {Nerdy, I know.}  There's just something about the fresh new pages of a paper planner that get my excitement at all-time high levels!

My hubs still can't believe I am such a dinosaur and actually still use a paper calendar {what with all my tech loving bones} but I just can't bring myself to surrender my entire schedule to an electronic device.  Nope.  Just won't do it.  For now, anyway.  My trusty $7 planner from Target has done me well in 2012 so why change it up in 2013?  I love being able to view my entire schedule without needing to resize and adjust, as one would have to on a tablet or phone.  And I only write in pencil in my planner {ignore the pen prop in the photo above!} because inevitably — with 3 {almost 4} kids, something has to get changed every now and again.

So, while 2012 was great to my family and me, I am anxious about what 2013 brings — a new baby, more exciting work, travel, and hopefully potty-training my 3 year-old who wants nothing to do with it at present.

Here's to a new year and new goals, and freshly lined paper.  Are you a paper planner kinda person or do you use a digital calendar to keep track of your schedules?
