Clever Fox
WHY YOU WILL LOVE THEM
I don’t know about you, but I can’t get through my day without my planner. I use it to make lists, plan projects, and strategize everything I need to get done. Organization is my way to prevent stress and make plans for my future. It is a wonderful way to track your goals and help you increase your performance.
I love the high quality of all their products. There is so much thought that went into all the details of the books. The covers are beautiful and look wonderful on my desk.
WHAT PRODUCTS DID WE GET?
Bucket List Journal
$19.99
ESCAPE THE ROUTINE & MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT: This bucket list notebook will motivate you to consider what you want to achieve in your lifetime and make these plans come true. The journal begins with 300 inspiring bucket list ideas from all over the world to help you dream big and unleash your imagination. Next, there is an empty bucket list with 100 entries waiting to be filled, a vision board, and a world map to plan your adventures – your carte blanche to build the life of your dreams.
I’ve always kept a Bucket List, but now I have a place where I can keep track of the memories I’ve made. I love this book! It’s funny because in my first writing class in college, my professor had us create a 100 item Bucket List and told us we should always have 100 items on the list. This journal lets you do just that! It breaks up each item into a Before and After section and gives you the tools to plan it. It then allows you to look back and evaluate what you’ve accomplished.
Travel Journal
$19.99
A TRIP WORTH BEING REMEMBERED: This journal is made to help you experience your trip to the fullest and not waste a single moment: prepare lists of places to see and things to do, use the travel planner pages both to plan out your days and make travel diary entries. Document your memorable moments and fill out the trip review section to log people you’ve met, places you’ve seen and reflect on your journey. And use the dot-grid spread for any additional notetaking.
CAREFREE JOURNEY: This traveling journal includes a safety and travel tips section and glossary to make sure you never feel overwhelmed in a new place. While planning each trip, you will be able to create packing lists, write down your transportation and accommodation information and list emergency contacts. To make sure you don’t run out of money, you are provided with a travel budget section and an expense tracker spread. This itinerary planner packs everything you need for a great journey.
Not only do I love to travel, but I also love planning my trips. Studies show that planning a getaway can make you happier and who couldn’t use more happiness in their life? This travel journal has it all. Including sample packing lists and To-Do lists for the month, week, and day before you leave. It also gives you plenty of space for planning, and a section to put pictures, ticket stubs, an write out memories you’ve made. I like that this travel planner allows you to look back on your trip after it’s over and remember favorite sights, restaurants, people you met, and what you’d like to do if you ever returned.
Undated Weekly Planner
$24.99
STAY FOCUSED & INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY – At Clever Fox, they needed a system to stay focused, track our goals and help them increase their performance and overall quality of life. This planner organizer is a perfect solution if you are looking to significantly boost your productivity and hit your goals. It will also help you feel happier and more fulfilled using proven self-development tools and positive psychology techniques. You are just a few days away from feeling the difference!
GET ORGANIZED & ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS – Clever Fox Planner will help you create a vision for your life, define and break down your short and long-term goals in each area of your life, and incorporate these goals into your monthly, weekly, and daily agenda. There is no going back. Stop procrastinating and start turning your big dreams into reality!
Just thinking about this planner makes me happy. It has so many useful sections. Some of the most useful parts are: a monthly calendar where you can record habits to adopt, skills to learn, things to avoid, places to go, and people to see. I also love that you can create a vision board. I’ve always wanted to create one and this makes it so easy to do right in your planner.

Crated with Love

There’s nothing I like better than spending time with my husband, but that sometimes doesn’t happen because we are so busy and it takes lots of time to plan our date. Crated with Love does all the work for you so you just have to show up. After a busy week, we often are happiest when we have a date night at home where we open a bottle of wine and do something fun. However, we are often stumped for something different to do. Game nights are fun but often not personal enough. Crated with Love has the perfect solution…fun games that let you spend quality time together. We had so many fun date nights with these games.

They have a wide variety of date night card games.

We actually played this game with our two daughters. We all had fun and we laughed the entire time. It was nice to see that each of us had special skills for the different puzzles so we all felt we were bringing value to the game.
They also have many family games…because it’s not always easy to get away for the night.

Moms love to take care of everyone around us, but we often forget one person…ourselves. Need, Want, Wear, Share believes in finding balance in motherhood. I love how they describe their box… “Think of it, as a grown-up goody bag, a time out, a treat to yourself, a little pat on the back for all of the hard work that you do and to celebrate the bad ass mama that you are.” That is exactly why I like subscription boxes.

WHAT PRODUCTS DID WE GET IN OUR BOX?
NEED: Stojo Collapsible Travel Cup $12.00

My younger daughter loves to borrow this cup because she takes a chai with her to school in the morning and then never knows what to do with her cup. This one collapses and she can throw it right back into her bag.
