I’m so excited to share my new Undated Nancy Planner (Thumbelina Print in Large) from Laurel Denise with you all today! Honestly, the timing of this collaboration felt a little meant to be, because I had already been thinking about purchasing one of their planners myself. My friend Ashley from Make Life Marvelous has shown me her Laurel Denise planner several times, and I’ve always been blown away by how functional and beautiful it is. In fact, I loved hers so much that I even bought her personalized stickers for it last summer for her birthday! So when Laurel Denise reached out, I couldn’t wait to finally try one for myself. Along with the planner, they also sent over a coordinating notebook, washi tape organizer tapes, and the cutest summer stickers to help me get started. Today I’m sharing a closer look at what makes this planner so unique, along with all the gorgeous little details both inside and out!
When my Nancy Planner arrived in the mail, it was packaged inside the prettiest keepsake box in the matching Thumbelina print. I immediately loved how thoughtful and beautiful the presentation was! Not only does the box make a perfect place to store your planner once you’ve finished using it (and keep the dust off!), but it also makes this planner feel extra special if you’re gifting it to a friend for a birthday, holiday, graduation, or another meaningful occasion. It truly feels like opening a little treasure box!
Here’s a look at all of the beautiful goodies Laurel Denise sent along with the Nancy Planner! From the coordinating notebook to the washi tapes and adorable summer stickers, every little detail felt so thoughtful and fun. Honestly, opening this package instantly made me excited to get organized and start planning again!
Let’s start with this absolutely BEAUTIFUL Peony Slumber Notebook! Since peony season is here right now, and they happen to be my all-time favorite flower, this notebook could not have arrived at a more perfect time. The soft floral design is so dreamy and feminine. It features 60 double-sided grid pages with a lovely paper weight and sewn binding that makes it feel extra high quality. The notebook measures 8.25 inches high by 5.75 inches wide, making it slim enough to easily tuck into your planner or handbag, yet pretty enough to leave sitting out on your desk as part of your decor.
Next up are the two adorable washi tape rolls they sent over! First is the Half Hour Washi Tape, which is perfect for time blocking your day down to the smallest details. I love how it helps visually map everything out in such a clean and organized way. The second is the Checklist Washi Tape, which somehow makes even task lists look cute! It’s perfect for keeping track of your to-dos and checking things off throughout the day. I recommend using a fine-tip Sharpie when marking tasks complete so everything stays neat and easy to read.
Laurel Denise also has the cutest selection of planner stickers available. You can even find lots of adorable Etsy shops that create stickers specifically designed to fit their planners, too! Since I absolutely LOVE tomatoes, these Green Thumb Stickers immediately caught my eye. Honestly, I can’t think of a more perfect sticker set for summer planning!
My First Look Inside the Nancy Planner…
Now, let’s dive into this beautiful Nancy Planner. Before I crack it open, I wanted to share what really sets this planner apart from others and why I’m already loving it so much.
The Nancy Planner is designed for anyone who loves having plenty of space to write everything out and keep life organized all in one place. Because it’s undated, you can truly start whenever works best for you and use it at your own pace. The layout gives you lots of room to map out appointments, plans, reminders, notes, and daily to-dos without ever feeling cramped.
One of the features I love most is being able to see the monthly and weekly views at the same time. It makes it so much easier to stay on top of both the bigger picture and the everyday details all at once. There’s also generous space for habit tracking, notes, and organizing lists, which makes this planner feel both functional and thoughtfully designed.
Instead of forcing you into a rigid system, the Nancy Planner works with your lifestyle and supports your own natural rhythm and routines.
When you first open the planner, one of the first things I noticed and loved was the two pocket folders, one on each side, which are perfect for tucking away loose papers, stickers, notes, or receipts. It also includes a clear 8-inch ruler and the cutest clear scalloped-edge “You Are Here” bookmark to help keep your place throughout the planner.
Next, you’ll find the Monthly Tab Stickers for each month that can be added to the outer tabs, making it easy to customize and organize your planner exactly how you want it. Then, on the very first page, you’re greeted with a sweet “Welcome, New Planner Friend” page that instantly makes the whole experience feel fun, personal, and inviting.
Next, you’ll come to the title page where you can fill in which planner you have, who it belongs to, and contact information in case it ever gets lost. One little detail I especially loved was the “Approved By: Laurel Denise” section with her signature. It adds such a personal touch and really reminds you that you’re supporting a thoughtfully designed, women-owned small business.
Next you’ll come to the part of the planner that gets exciting! You’ll label this spread Month and Year, fill out the calendar, and then there are these really neat and unique ‘inner pages’. Yes, pages! There is 10 shorter pages within the month with a ‘to do today, this week and a 1-31 day tracker. If you go to my Instagram Reel, you can see this in video form (which may be a little clearer).
Now, I’ll show you what the planner includes in the back Notes section.
The first spread in the Notes section is thoughtfully designed for reflection and planning ahead. One page includes spaces for Monthly Goals and Things to Remember, while the opposite page features a Yearly Wins & Losses section. I love that it gives you a place not only to stay organized, but also to reflect on the highs, challenges, and growth throughout the year.
The next spread features a Yearly Plan layout with each month paired alongside dates 1–31, giving you even more space for planning ahead, organizing important dates, or tracking events throughout the year.
The remaining pages in the Notes section include a thoughtful mix of blank list pages, graph paper, and bullet-style pages, which makes the planner feel incredibly versatile for whatever organizational style you prefer. The final page wraps everything up with a fun yearly recap section where you can reflect on favorites and memories from the year, including books, music, hobbies, gratitude, and more.
The Nancy is the perfect planner for you if you…
- Prefer the flexibility of an Undated Planner
- Want to start your week on one day and your month on another (the Undated, in any layout, is the best choice)
- Have bigger handwriting
- Want to write a lot (ie: journaling)
- Have a brain that works left to right better than up and down
- Don’t need to time block
- Plan your day with 1-2 priorities and a small task list
From the thoughtful layouts to the gorgeous details, this planner truly feels special and makes planning something to look forward to. Are you a paper planner person too, or do you prefer keeping everything digital?
