Questions, answered plainly

How do I get the planner?

Click the button, pay with a card or PayPal, and the planner arrives in your email within a minute. Click the link in that email and the planner opens, ready to save or print.

Do I need an account or an app?

No. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. If you can open an email, you can use the planner.

How do I print it?

Open the file and print it like any document, on regular letter paper. Black and white looks lovely too. No home printer? The library prints for pennies, and grandkids are famously good at this.

What if I lose the file or the email?

The download link in your email works forever, so the email is your safety net. Lost the email too? Write to us and we will sort you out.

Is this a paper book in the mail?

No, and that is the good part: it is a file you print at home, so it arrives instantly, costs less, and you can print fresh working pages every season.
