About the Author

(writes under the alias, Lilith Silvermane) grew up in Arlington, Texas. She moved to Colorado in 1990, and then back again in 2000. She has six children that range between 16 years old to 5 months old. Five girls and one boy keep her life constantly busy, and just noisy enough to let her know they are not getting into trouble. Being a single mom she has her hands full and her one relaxation is visiting blogs from all around the blogosphere. She works outside of the home for the school district. This way her schedule is flexible enough to get to the kids if needed, but she can work for a bit of sanity, and the universal evil… Money. Suzanne had decided to start a new local and online business. After making a diaper cake for her best friends baby shower in April, she fell in love with the concept of making gifts that help people smile. Cotton Cakes will primarily be made with disposable diapers; however she will have a collection of cloth diaper cakes for those mothers who just need another nudge into cloth diapering. She donates cakes to a local hospital once a month to give to a needy/young mother. Having her oldest daughter at 18, she knows how hard it can be to be a young mother. She writes almost daily on her blog Crunchy Green Lovin’ Mom ~ crunchy green mom~ about everything from laundry, to diapers, to giveaways!

List planning made easy

I believe in scheduling. Unless it’s a weekend, I get up at 5:15am. I am out of the house by 6am and won’t return until around that time that evening.

When I logged onto www.ListPlanIt.com I had no idea how disorganized I actually was. I had been planning my life through little sheets of paper in my purse, or allowing it to flying around my head along with dinner, friends and blogging.

Here are a few of the things I have been using this resource for:

Our Families Daily Schedule: My little ones are on a pretty tight nap schedule, and I hate the idea of them missing out because someone does not know what time it is supposed to be at.

Blog Post Planner: I always have ideas running through my head. Why not write them down with links, etc, so this way I have all the information there when I finally get home, or can sit down.

Gift Certificate Tracker: This is great for small companies that do giveaways, etc and would like to keep track of what gift certificates are out there.

Daily Reminders: It has six sections to be filled in for each person and day of the week. My teenagers who leave the house after I do, can scan it over and make sure they have everything they need. It is a WONDERFUL resource

This is only a fraction of the lists Jennifer Tankersley, the creator of List Plan It has. She is also not stopping there. She adds new lists all the time, and is constantly keeping it updated! She has over 300 lists and planning pages available and many of them can be saved and adjusted to your busy life.

The website has the lists categorized to make your search easier and more time efficient (This is what it’s all about after all) You can also view the newest lists she has added and she is always open to new ideas. There is a blog if you are looking for even more ideas to help you in your journey to organization.

If you are like me and find it easier to plan things on paper, this is a wonderful gift for yourself, or a great gift to the new teacher in your child’s life! A year subscription is $19.95 and a three-month subscription is $9.95. This is a small price to pay for a bit of sanity in your life.
