Challenges




Do you do the challenges on IG? I love them, I love to look at them and see the creativity.  I know that some are intimidating.  There are a lot of REALLY good hand letterers out there as well as some creative planners.

The nice thing about the challenges is that it gives you something to practice.  I know I have sat so many times without anything to write or practice writing. I also like that it keeps me accountable if I post it.  I really like the accountability! It is sometimes hard to keep up with them, I do find that it is important to take the time out for me. 

If you haven’t done a challenge, I would highly suggest you do one.  There are SO many to choose from! I love that there are ones for doodles, lettering, and planning designs. It breaks you out of your shell that you might be hiding in.  Believe in yourself, you are probably better than you think you are.

Some of my favorite challenges to follow:

Addendum to Meal Planning

So, I was planning last night and as I work on my planner I also watch You Tube videos to get inspiration.   As I am flipping through the people, I see that Kell of Plan has a Meal Planning Video, it has changed my way of thinking about meal planning! She gave me inspiration and I am excited for planning my meals for this next MONTH! Check out her video here … So instead of using a mini page and drawing out my month, I created this printable for 2 months’ worth of planning. Just print 2 sided, flipping on the short side if you can, otherwise having 2 sheets will work too.   Just trim them down to size and viola; you are good to go! I liked her idea of trimming the post-it’s to fit in the squares and then you can move them to your planner if you wanted, or you can write it directly on the calendar itself. Can’t wait to see if this changes my life! J

Freebie Ideas!!

Planning gets expensive, especially if you fall into the sticker trap and feel the need for more.   It gets hard looking at all the pretty pages on Instagram when you don’t write pretty and feel like you are a little less than some other planners.   We need to remember 1.        We all know how hard it is to get that “perfect pic”.   Rarely do you ever get the picture right on the first try and you need to move a few things, tweak the lighting or even start over. 2.        Everyone has a different budget, gets “gifted” items or are spending above their means… I don’t want to throw anyone under the bus, it’s important to remember that nothing is worth going into debt to create a pretty page. Some talented artists are giving us things free! These are some of my favorites: Victoria Thatcher – I cannot say enough about Victoria Thatcher! She is SO awesome and has some beautiful work that she is giv...

Starting Something New

We’ve all started something new.   It’s thrilling, scary, nerve wracking; yet, it being new only lasts for a short time.   The thing that makes us or breaks us is do we keep up with it.   Many times the thing we are starting is being “healthier” going for walks or eating better.   Getting ready for my walk I can tell you I started waking up earlier and going for walks every morning. I decided that I want to be healthier for my son and not be the person who goes to work, comes home, and sleeps (which is what I was doing every day). I wasn’t being the best mom I could be.   Now I have been doing it for 2 weeks, so I feel like it’s still pretty new, but it is part of my routine.   I have learned that if I miss a day (because I missed one) I am tired and feel a little distracted throughout the day.   I am a much better person if I do it. I do log these walks (the fact I do it) in my planner with a HOORAY for me.   It is part of my FIT goal an...
