Welcome to My Filofax Addiction!

This blog is all about my Filofax! I use it to keep myself and my family on track. I work in social media marketing, from home, so my days can get pretty hectic. I'm also working on improving my health, which means I'm working out 3-5 days per week. I also have a husband and 2 boys to manage, which is a job in itself!

Background

I was introduced to Filofax quite a few years ago via a movie, "Taking Care of Business." I was a lot younger then and my grandfather was watching it on television. I'm not quite sure why, but it stuck with me. The movie was originally called "Filofax" and it's centered around an ad exec who loses his Filofax. Since watching that movie, I've pretty much been a planner addict! 

Until a few years ago, I couldn't afford a Filofax but I never gave up. I've always used a planner of some sort, whether it was a desk size (A5 in Filofax lingo) or a personal size, which is what I have now. I bought my first Filofax a few years ago and I've never been happier!

What is Filofax?

Filofax is a brand. It originated in the UK but you can purchase them from just about everywhere! The one thing that sets Filofax apart from all other planner brands is quality. These planners are made of the finest materials and the customer service is amazing. I can't tell you how many other planners I've used that simply fell apart, ripped, or broke in some other way. I have a bit of OCD when it comes to my planner so it has to be perfect.

What is This Blog About?

In case you haven't noticed, it's about my love for and addiction with Filofax! I'll also share with you the inserts I create, how I set up my Filo, what's in it, and so much more. Stay tuned for my next post and always be on the lookout for free printables!
