Planet ShanChan has a podcast now! It's called Planet ShanChan. I made it with a phone app called Anchor. But it is available on lots of platforms! I posted about it with all the links I have so far. I will put them below this post as well.
I made a few introductory posts. Then I released an audio I found from last Christmas. It talks about being the kinda of person that can have faith in anything versus someone who cannot believe in anything based on faith. I have to say it is pretty powerful. I had to decide if my first topic should be something that was so opinionated. But in the end I decided it needed to be heard. It is a great message that I hope will help believers see unbelievers in a new light. I have a new episode planned that is for all the Planner Girls out there. But you never know what I will record next! The beauty of the podcast is that it is my voice. It's like we are just two friends sitting and talking. Or rather two friend who are supposed to be talk but one won't shut up long enough for the other to talk! lol! Hum... That is rather like all my conversations anyway. No, I am getting better at listening.. Anyway, here are the links that I have at the moment to my podcast. They are growing all the time!
Here is the link to it there as well as various other places it is posted. More to come including Google Podcasts.

YouTube Decision!
OK, here is what is up with my YouTube! I have lots of footage. Some of it is planner related and some of it is not. Some of it is just filmed really badly. I have gotten so far behind on editing that I stopped uploading all together! It sucks! You guys deserve content! I feel like crap all the time! So I am done! I will put up the old stuff as I can, as I finish, at whatever pace I can get them up. I am not going to worry about matching them with posts to Facebook, the blog, or Instagram.
Iin the future I am not making Plan with Me videos. They all sucked! They were hard to film, had tons of edits, and they were SUPER boring. Plus, even though I plan our stuff I always have to rearrange it. So from now on I am using minimal stickers and pencil until a week is over, Then I will film a short post plan video and post a pic to Instagram. My week starts on Monday. I usually plan on Sunday. I assume I will just post plan the last week and pencil plan the next on Sundays. However, I probable won't post till Monday or Tuesday.
From now on everything I do has to be quick and streamlined. That is the only way I can be consistent and do EVERYTHING that I do! Especially now because I have added a podcast to my list of content to create. I will be making another post after this just about that podcast and how to find it.
I know this sounds negative to be stopping Plan with Me videos. But the streamlining of everything I am doing will be a blessing because it will mean more content and consistent content. This is something I'm doing for you as much as me! So stay tuned you guys! I am excited about these changes!

Bin Labels
One of my favorite YouTubers is Clutterbug! One of the reasons that I love her is because she comes right out and says she is a hot mess! She doesn't just show you beautiful spaces and act perfect. In some of her videos her bird is going crazy in the background. At the end of her videos she always has a little extra tip or funny story. Most of the stories are about her doing or saying something silly or making a mistake. I like the idea of someone that is that transparent! However, her channel still offers some great cleaning tips, organization/decoration tips, mom hacks, and DIY's!
One of the unique concepts she talks about are clutterbugs! She says everyone has a different organizing style and simplifies them with the bugs. There are crickets, ladybugs, butterflies, and bees! Two of the bugs crave less visible stuff in a room. Two other bugs prefer that most of their things are visible at all times. She also describes how to organize a home that contains multiple bugs. One method to organizing a home with both a visual and non-visual bug in it, is to use LOTS of labels. Labels are an easy way to tell what is in a bin or basket or cabinet. But you don't have to see the stuff you are storing. Here's an example in the cube storage for my office area.

Here is a close up of one of the labels.
I used Scotch Self-seal laminating pouches. No machine required! I also made labels for my son's room. It is Totoro themed! The first time I used velcro dots to attach them. I also just cut them out of paper. BAD IDEA!!! He ATE them!! So I remade them and laminated them. I also used industrial strength velcro strips to attach them to the bins! We will see if they survive! Here is a picture of the final product.
Here is a close up of one of the labels.
My husband and I are the ones using these labels to put his clothes away. If I were making these labels for him to put away toys. I would have made pictures on the labels not just words. Almost all children need very visual reminders if you have any hope of them putting away toys!
I hope this post helps you get organized. But more so I hope it inspires you to take a second and a small budget and add a little cuteness/beauty as you do!
