Hi my name is Becka Cotter! Before I discovered in the leafy tree tops I would make plans, budgets, meal plans, grocery lists, etc on all these random pieces of paper and would loose them and never stick to it! My aunt showed me her Mormon mom planner and I was sold! I got my first planner (eve … read more

First off I am a mother of four (pregnant w/#5) I have enjoyed the tools of self reflection, self improvement this planner offers. As well as keeping me on top of daily chores, family home evening, holiday plans and some extra room for to write notes and ideas for my callings at church. Beautifull … read more

I feel like this planner has made a difference in my life by holding me more accountable. I have used other planners but never felt like I loved using them. The Mormon mom planners fit my lifestyle so perfectly so I actually use it and it helps me to be more accountable for what I have planned.Since … read more

I am a planner and I need to write things down and visually look at them. I have had many people see me using my planner and ask questions about it. I love how organized I feel when I am using it. Some people say why don’t you just use your phone..... my phone doesn’t allow me to see the big pi … read more

At the end of 2015, I found that I was constantly forgetting things. I was a working mom and wife of a graduate student. We had two beautiful children- a brand new baby and a two year old. With all that was going on, I could not remember appointments. I knew that I couldn't just blame it all on "mom … read more

2 1/2 years ago our world rocked all upside-down. My oldest son had a tumor that was in his chest and was causing some serious problems. We ended up on the oncology floor and scheduled surgery. I went from a full-time stay at home mom, which is HARD anyway, to a full-time working parent with a wo … read more

I LOVE my planner! I am seriously lost without it! I use it everyday and tell everyone about it. It made my day when I saw someone in my ward have the same planner knowing she loves it just as much! I also love giveaways and get excited for the winner because I know their life will change when they … read more

I started using my planner a couple of years ago after our oldest sons cancer returned. Between being a mom, working, church callings, etc... life became too much and something had to give! Little did I know at the time I began using this little planner, what a blessing it would be. I began writing … read more

After I had my first baby, I struggled with horrible postpartum depression and anxiety. I'd waited my whole life to be a Mom and I wasn't feeling that bliss so many women were posting about on social media. I just felt numb. After a year of thinking this was my new normal, I finally stumbled upon an … read more

When my grandmother passed away we found years and years worth of calendars. Each calendar had become her journal. My sisters and I found days where she wrote about attending one of our band, orchestra, or choir concerts and her impressions of our performance. Some days were short "entries" other … read more

My planner story is simple, I got into planning as a way to better organize my day-to-day activities as a mother as lots of people do. I have tried multiple journal versions from IntheLeafyTreetops and finally settled on the Horizontal Mormon Mom Academic version. This version allows me to freely b … read more

My sisters both had this Planner on their wishlist last year and I was not at all interested. My grandma ended up buying one and as we looked at it, I realized that it’s more than just a planner. What I love about this Planner is that it combines planning, scrapbooking, and journaling. My sister and … read more

I didn’t think we’d get along, the planner and I. Amy kept recommending it and ads kept trying to introduce us to each other. But the planner was, well, classy and organized and pretty and I didn’t think I was that type of mom. She was what everyone else did and I’m a two-year-old at heart and do th … read more

I started out knowing I would love the planner and I planned to my hearts content, which wasn't as much as it is now. Then a few months after I received my first planner for a birthday gift, I had my sixth child. Life was chaos for a while and my poor planner sat on the counter gathering dust whil … read more

The day My Mom gave me my planner I told her it was the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! (I may have offended her with that statement LOL!)I love planning, making check lists, setting goals and being organized! This planner had everything I needed plus more - It helps me keep up with my busy schedule AND keeps … read more

I’ve been planning for roughly 6 years but always had a hard time because it seems like I need a large family calendar on the fridge for the family to keep track of the kids coming and goings and my husbands shifts and overtime, an academic planner from Erin Condren for my college courses, and then … read more

There are some things that come easily and some things that don’t when it comes to motherhood. Being a mom for me came easily the first time, i was elated and grateful for how quickly and easily it was for me to get it and to adapt to the changes it brought. However, everything that I loved abo … read more

My name is Jessica Harper. I live in Fairbanks, Alaska. I am a busy mom of two and I own three self-run businesses. When my first daughter was born in 2015 my family hit hard times. In Alaskan winter time, that can be dangerous. My family was struggling financially and emotionally. I didn't know how … read more

I am a firm believer in the concept of a "life bank", a bank filled with coins that represent the days of our life. Every morning I visualize withdrawing a coin from my bank, never knowing when the bank will be empty, and my life on earth done. The coins value is based on how well I spend it, whethe … read more

Before this planner I would go and find printables for all of my family’s important information, but it always came in 8x11”, which wasn’t very portable. I tried using a 7x9” planner, but never could get all my information in one spot. I spent so much time and money on decorating, and … read more
