Planner Moms Must Have Stickers
How I Use Functional Stickers Like a Real-Life Mom Who’s Got Stuff to Do
Okay, fellow planner moms let’s talk functional stickers. You know, the ones that aren’t just cute (though yes, they’re adorable), but actually help us keep our lives from spiraling into chaos. I’m talking blank note boxes, icons, and washi tape the holy trinity of “I’ve got this” energy.
Here’s how I use them in my planner to stay sane, stay stylish, and stay on top of all the things.
📝 Blank Note Boxes: My Catch-All Lifesavers
These little squares? They’re my brain’s backup drive.
- Meal plans go in one. I don’t need Pinterest-perfect dinners just a plan so I’m not staring into the fridge at 5:30 like it’s a crystal ball.
- Random reminders like “return library books” or “email the teacher” because if it’s not written down, it’s gone.
- Mini memory moments like when my kid said “You’re the best cooker ever, Mom!” after eating boxed mac & cheese. That’s going in the planner, thank you very much.
💡 Mom tip: I layer them over boring white space and add a little leaf or heart sticker to make it feel special.
🔍 Icons: Tiny Stickers, Big Impact
Icons are my visual shorthand. I don’t even need to read I just scan for the little laundry basket and boom, I know what’s up.
- 🛒 Grocery cart = shopping day (and yes, I still forget the almond milk)
- ✏️ Pencil = school stuff, like spelling tests or “wear red day”
- 💻 Laptop = work blocks or content batching time
- 🧺 Laundry basket = the never-ending saga
💡 Mom tip: I color-code them. Pink for self-care, blue for kid stuff, orange for errands. It’s like planner feng shui.
🎀 Washi Tape: The MVP of Mom Planning
Washi tape is my mood booster. It’s like putting on lipstick for your planner.
- I use it to divide sections like “Mom Life” vs. “Work Life” (because yes, they’re different beasts).
- I highlight events birthdays, field trips, dentist appointments (ugh).
- I frame my gratitude box because even on messy days, I’m grateful for hot coffee and 10 minutes of silence.
💡 Mom tip: Mix florals with solids. It’s like layering outfits adds dimension and makes your spread pop.
My Take:
Functional stickers aren’t just cute they’re smart. They help me plan with purpose, decorate with joy, and feel like I’ve got a little control over the chaos. And honestly? That’s the kind of magic every mom deserves.
So go ahead grab those blank boxes, icons, and washi rolls. Your planner is your power tool. Make it work and make it pretty.
