Silk & Sonder Monthly Planner Review

Do you ever see a product and think to yourself, “Why didn’t I think of that?!” because it’s such an amazing idea? These Silk & Sonder monthly planners are 100% one of those products for me!

Each month they send you a new themed planner in the mail. And they aren’t JUST a planner. They are a beautiful hybrid of a planner, journal, and bullet journal. Silk & Sonder planners include everything from planning out your days and weeks- to journal reflections, habit trackers, budgeting tools, recipes and more! If you love using my printables, then I have no doubt that you will love these journals.

Here is a peek inside the March issue. These are some of my favorite pages but believe it or not, it isn’t even all of them! Also keep in mind that some of these pages occur in every issue, but every issue also has a “theme” and several of the pages change to reflect that theme each month. The theme for March was “knowledge”.

Silk & Sonder was kind enough to give me a discount code if you want to try one: Shelley15

Each month features a different beautiful floral cover! The planners are spiral bound so that they lay flat when opened.

Reflections & intentions:

Every issue contains a reflection of the previous month, as well as a place to set intentions for the month ahead. You probably already know that I love setting goals and intentions, so I was so happy that this page was included! I also really enjoyed the opportunity to reflect on the previous month.

Mood & habit trackers:

This was probably my favorite spread! I loved being able to track my mood- especially during such an unprecedented month! And habit trackers are my favorite- even though I clearly wasn’t the best at sticking with them this month 😉 #firsttrimesterproblems

Learning log & knowledge jar:

This spread is an example of pages that are included to go with the monthly theme (in this case “knowledge”). As a teacher, I am a huge believer in the importance of life long learning so I really enjoyed this theme and being encouraged to push myself a little bit each day to learn something new- big or small.

Coloring page:

Each issue includes a different coloring page. Coloring is a proven stress reducer and that was defintley needed this month!

Weekly spread:

I LOVE the weekly spreads. From a weekly habit tracker, to goal setting, to meal planning and a weekly focus- Silk & Sonder seriously thought of everything! They help me feel prepared for the week and ensure that I take care of myself- despite the stress of the quarantine and the fatigue that comes with the first trimester!

Immediatley following each weekly spread is this one to help plan out your days. I love that the grid lines can be used as a bullet journal and the daily focus and the hydration tracker are wonderful!

Monthly expense tracker:

We are really trying to focus on our budget this year, so having a place to record transactions is wonderful. I jot down any purchases and then later transfer them to our budget!

Recipes:

  • Future log: for planning outside of the current month
  • Instruction page: how to use the different trackers
  • Note pages
  • Additional themed journal prompts
  • Inspirational quotes

Honest review:

There honestly isn’t anything that I don’t like about these planners! I love the combination of journaling, habit tracking and planning. And I love that each month you receive a different theme and cover. The idea of a monthly planner is so great- it’s great for those who don’t want to commit to using a planner for a full year and it’s also awesome because it gives you a “fresh start” each month, if maybe you don’t stick to it perfectly some days 😉
