5 Free Printable 2013 Calendars {Better Blogging}

Gah, I feel like I am just itching for 2013 to get here! One of my goals for the New Year is to be a better blogger.  I have silently been working on my game plan for the past few weeks (more on my quest to better blogging in the weeks to come…)  So I have been on the hunt for the perfect calendar to use in 2013.  Don’t we all need a new calendar regardless if you are into blogging or not? So I wanted to make your life easier and share a quick round up of some FREE Printable calendars for 2013!

My calendar needs have changed since last year, so I feel like I am starting from scratch on the search for the mecca of calendars. The coveted perfect combination of organization, beauty, functionality, and customization.  Last year I used a fancy and pricey Erin Condren Calendar.  It was $50.00 (wow!  I must have been desperate to get organized, I can’t believe I paid that!) but I have not used it in over 3 months, so I am thinking that format wasn’t working for me anymore. In my quest to dig up the best of FREE Calendars for 2013, here is what I found.  Hope this helps you get ready to rock in 2013!

FREE COZI FAMILY CALENDAR APP (On iPhone and Android)

Ok, I know I stated this was about FREE PRINTABLE Calendars, but this one is so amazing it belongs at the TOP of the list and also outweighs any printable calendar out there.  My husband and I started using the Cozi Calendar App on our phones, and it a  MUST HAVE for any family!  We share one calendar and either of us can look at it anytime and see what the other has scheduled, which prevents my hubs asking me a bazillion times what our upcoming vacay dates are, or when my Mom’s Birthday is, or all of those other things I have to repeat to him several times each day.  Plus it’s free!  It sends me reminders of upcoming events and also allows me to send reminders to anyone else I share the calendar with.    The Cozi Family Calendar App goes into the category of “Life Changing Products” like CeCe Caldwell’s Paints, seat warmers in my car, my crockpot, and the invention of the DVR.  I can’t live without any of the aforementioned items, and the Cozi is definitely one of them!

Weekly Blog Planner from The Peaceful Mom

Hop on over to The Peaceful Mom’s blog to print out her FREE Printable Weekly Blog Planner.  She has great categories for Maintenance, Themes, Connecting with others, and many other friendly blogging reminders that I am guilty of forgetting. 

Free Printable Blog Planner from Confessions of a Homeschooler

Dude, any Homeschooling Mom gets some props from me.  My son is out of school for two weeks and I am already feeling like I am losing my mind.  I seriously didn’t put a bra on until after 2pm today – but that is a whole other blog post in itself.  Anyway, regardless if you homeschool, blog, work full-time, or rely on a calendar for your life than this planner will do the trick!  Plus, it’s super pretty, which I love!  Go on over to Confessions of a Homeschooler, download her free planner, and tell her I said howdy!

The Flourishing Abode: Easy One Page Planner

The Flourishing Abode has an adorable one-page weekly planner.  Love it’s simplicity and I love the feather too.

Infarrantly Creative’s Blog Planner

I love infarrantlycreative.net and I got to actually meet Becky at Haven this past summer.  She has made the ultimate blog planner and even a video to explain how to use it!  For dingalings like me I need as much explanation as possible! 

This is actually the one I am going to implement this year.  I MacGyvered one myself instead of going to Office Depot and have them bind it for me like she recommends to do.  It’s free, cheap, and if it doesn’t work out like my Erin Condren did, well at least I didn’t drop a bunch of money on it.

I just used a 1 inch three-ring binder I had lying around.  I printed everything off in black and white to conserve on precious color ink.  

I did do the file folder, as suggested in her video, but I opted to simply staple the monthly calendars to the folder vs. having them made into a tear pad. 

I do like the idea of flipping over the weekly plan to view the calendar and the weekly planner on one page. 

I also made additional sections for other printables, like the Mom Blog Money Blog Checklists I am working through.

Yes, I bought Tip Junkie’s new Ebook, Mom Blog Money Blog,  and I can’t wait to tell you more about it!  I have a feeling I will be referring back to these quite often, plus I can add other printables and checklists I find handy throughout the year.  Am I the only one who Pins stuff and then never actually utilizes the information?  Not anymore!  No Sir!  I can print it off an refer back to all those bloggy nuggets of wisdom all year long!

And Mom Blog Money Blog also comes with a Mom-prenuer Guide, so I went ahead and printed  that out too!  Heck. Why not?

I can not wait to start using my new Blog Planner from Infarrantly Creative but do you think I am selling myself organizationally short by going the free printable route?  What are you doing to get off on the right foot for 2013?
