Scattered Squirrel: Got a Busy Week? There's a Printable for That!

Hi everyone, how are you doing? I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. My parents popped down for a quick visit this weekend, and it was such a lovely way to spend the weekend! I was able to get in some time to work on the printables for this week, and get the finishing touches put on the Reader Request for this month. Liam ended up with a tummy bug of some sort on Sunday, and lucky me, I seemed to have caught it yesterday. Thankfully, it only seems to last for a day or two. Liam was really happy about that, because today is his first ever Christmas concert, and he really didn't want to miss it. He's excited to be able to be on a stage with lights and everything. It's also his special week at school , where he gets to bring in some of his favourite pictures, his favourite story and a favourite toy to share with the class. He got to fill out a question sheet that will get hung up with the pictures. He was a little sad that he had to miss yesterday, but he was super excited to be going today.

Ontop of Christmas concerts, we've got a field trip coming up at the end of the week, a library trip to make, more Christmas baking to do, I've got bloggy stuff that needs to be finished up, our Teen has clubs and stuff most of the week, and Travis is off for the next three days, which means errands need to get run and so on. It's is shaping up to be a busy busy week, and next week it only seems to get more so. Why is it the last few weeks before Christmas are always so busy?

Last week I shared with you the Weekly Overview printable I made. It's still working great, but for these busy weeks, it really has become nothing but an overview. There is so much going on that there just wasn't room to put it all on the planner page, at least not in detail. I knew this was going to happen. There are going to be weeks where there is lots happening and more room for planning is going to be needed. For those weeks, the Overview on its own just won't cut it, but I think one of these might!

Weekly Planner

I know that with the addition of these ones, there are now a whopping five weekly planner printables on this little blog. The two I shared earlier this year just aren't working for me anymore. While they still function and work great, I wanted something that would allow me to structure my days. With more and more being added to our weekly routines, I felt it was really important to start scheduling our days. With the half hour increments I can easily block out times for each activity and that will give me a visual reference for how much time in the day I have for the things I need to do.

Currently, I'm using the second one in conjunction with the Weekly Overview. I used the Overview to keep track of what was happening this week, my to do list and so on, and I used the Weekly Planner to schedule it all in. The week is still young, but so far this combo is really working out well.

As always to snag a copy for yourself, click the captions under the pictures! And of course, all printables found here are for personal use only, if you would like to use them for something other than personal use, drop me a line and we'll work something out.

Just one more thing before I hop off, we will soon be making the move to Wordpress. I've been busy trying to get it all set up. To my friends who follow along on Google Friend Connect, please choose one of the other ways of following along. If there was a way to get Google Friend Connect to work on Wordpress I would totally do that, but everything I've read says that it is no longer supported on other platforms :-( If you have any questions please feel free to drop me a line.

So, what do you think of the planners? Will the work for you? Do you find that the weeks get more and more busy the closer it gets to Christmas?
