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 giving to us FREE! 

Clementine Creative love the tabs for my planner, printed on both sides you get a really cool result

Mom Envy – lots of things on Fauxnonichi and other free planner printables

Planner Addiction – lots of layouts for the week, color themes


We Come in Planner Peace – a Facebook group that you need to join, but they have some fun things in their files that have been created by the group. 

Even do a search on Pinterest for Happy Planner Printable Free there are so many things there that you can find. You need to weed through, there is lots to see!

Ultimately, you can even build your own planner this way and not pay a dime, you would need a hole punch and some other tools, but this gives you a cost efficient way of creating your planner.

How I Planned During COVID

I LOVE planners, and use them for work, life and journaling Like many of you, I have been cooped up in my house since March 13 th (unlucky Friday the 13 th ) I have gone out for groceries, and I think we have picked up food once, at the beginning.  Otherwise, we have stayed in the house with little contact.  It was just this last weekend where we adventured to a “drive in movie” in the mall parking lot with my sister-in-law and her kids.   This was the first time my son finally got to play with his cousins and see someone other than his parents for over 3 months. He was delighted.  It doesn’t hurt that the movie was Sonic the Hedgehog which he has wanted to see for the whole quarantine as well!  I know that I have looked at Instagram and know that there are MANY of us that are just lost because there is nothing to plan! It hurts because we have these great planners all looking like they did “before the pen” still.  I admit it, I have many decorate...

Changing Seasons

I LOVE summer! I love the long days, going to the pool and having the energy to DO things. Once it gets cold and the air starts to change, I think for a moment that I might enjoy the fall activities, but MAN, I HATE COLD! As the days become shorter, I want to do less and less!   I WAIT for the Winter solstice! Bonus that Christmas will be in a few days, but I know that we will start getting more daylight. I have never tried light therapy, and maybe that would help but it just makes me sad. Driving to work in the dark and driving home in the dark… what could be worse! I have found that I haven’t been in the mood to plan lately. Events happen and I do write them down, but I often just want to lay on my couch and take a nap. I do try to make sure that I am not sleeping all night, so I am forcing myself to get up and do a little planning. It gives me a little motivation to do more. I have skipped my morning walks, 30 degrees in the AM is just too cold to walk, but I need to...

Getting My $h!t Done

We moved into our house in October of 2017.   It had new carpet and fresh paint so we didn’t need to do much to it to make it ours. We have almost been there two years, I look around the house and we are NOT put together! I still have boxes in the living room and office.   We have a bookshelf that we can’t put anything in it for fear of it falling (yay plush carpet). I am in there every day and I haven’t taken care of these things. I sit at night with my pretty planner relaxing and writing lists, but I never look at my house as to what we need to do. Well… I am changing that today! I am making a list to get these things done. I am not going to sit and wait for someone else to do it; I am going to get it done. (This is me hyping myself up) I know that when I go down in the basement my husband will follow because he will worry that I will mess up his "organization". I would show you pictures, but I have gotten strategic in how I take photos to post for the world! Tryi...
