At the beginning of every new year, I always make sure to pick up a yearly planner, otherwise I would never remember a single thing. I fill it with birthdays, meetings and upcoming goals for the year {such as cleaning out our junk room by the end of January --it's currently behind closed doors always}. And even though I live by my iPhone's digital calendar, I like having a hard copy as a back-up.

This year's search lead me to Sarah Pinto's site, where she sells her weekly planners and notebooks. Available in a variety of fun styles, her clean and modern aesthetic reminds me of Kate Spade {which is clearly why I was drawn to it!}. What sets Sarah apart, however, is that she donates a portion of the proceeds to the pediatric cardiology ward of the California Pacific Medical Centre, where her son has been treated for a heart defect.

I chose the cool nautical-themed agenda, and with shipping and taxes it only came to $35. Not bad for a year's worth of planning and a donation to a great cause. xo, Lauren
