If you are a close friend of mine, you already know I am super planner obsessed.
Like, I'm not joking here.

I own an Erin Condren Life Planner.
I monthly plan
Weekly plan
Daily plan

My grandma does the calendar system. I think this was a definite trend back in the day. A very wise trend that has since evolved today into big business for the planning community.

There are bullet journals, travelers notebooks, schedulers, academic planners, teacher planners, wedding planners. There are even planning systems.

There are even planning "styles"

It's a rabbit hole.

I do sticker planning. I love my stickers. I have icon stickers, appointment stickers, bill due stickers, decorative stickers, todo lists, meal planning etc. There is a sticker for everything!

It's not perfect and sometimes I still forget things like taking something out of the freezer for dinner. This usually results in eye rolling from my husband who then asks if I had it in my planner.

cough, jerk, cough cough

The good thing about setting up a planner system is feeling peace! 

There is something that connects your thoughts when you take pen to paper. It creates good habits. It releases stress from questioning yourself. You can unload some mental information to a planner page. Getting your to-do's in a list and checking them off is the best thing!

Go to Google or YouTube and check out some planner people!
There is a wonderful community of planners here to help you find some planner peace.

15 February 2018 - The Mustard Mix

This History of Mustard "The delights of mustard as a food accompaniment apparently had been known only a few years before the appearance of the advertisement described in today's historical note." TODAY IN HISTORY On February 15 1768, one Benjamin Jackson advertised in a Philadelphia newspaper that he was "the only mustard manufacturer on the continent. I brought to art with me into the country."  Mr. Jackson came to America from London, England. He sold his product labeled in glass bottles. Benjamin Jackson, from the book Chocolate: History, Culture, and Heritage, was a chocolate and mustard maker. He introduced mustard into his chocolate shop where he also sold other spices and flours. Now the mustard he sold was not like the mustard we have today. He sold bottles labeled "Flour of Mustard" which means that you had to follow the directions on the bottle to mix the powder with hot water to create your condiment. Mustard...

1 January 2018 - Happy New Year!!

A couple years ago I started collecting interesting antique books. I love seeing a peek into the time period the book was written. Until the end of 2017 I was a stay at home mom. We moved across the country and a new chapter began for our family. This morning for the beginning of the new year I pick up my "Illustrated Almanac for Homemakers" book.  This book was written in 1974.  Just check out those bellbottoms.  Originally sold for $9.95. I bought at Half Price Books for $7.00 I thought this book would be fun to flip through. Just see what homemakers were doing in the 1970's verses what I was doing or not doing. So for 2018 I thought it would be fun to see what I can accomplish this 365 days from this almanac even though I am no longer a full time homemaker.  Lets begin in January!  Each month has a super cute illustration featuring our homemaker heroine!  It's the first day of the first year so let's peek at today's tas...

1 June 2023 - It's Electrifying!

  I got chills, they're multiplying and I'm losing control  Cause the power your supplying... It's Electrifying! Today is all about safety when using a toaster. Now remember, our Almanac was written in the 1970s, and the modern electric pop-up toaster was commercialized around the 1920s. That is almost 50 years and barely a generation of this metal death trap taking up counter space in modern homes. In fact, toast has been one of the most popular ways of eating bread since the Roman Empire and was likely a way to preserve bread rather than make a tasty snack. Even with more modern technology, you are most likely to be killed by your toaster than by a shark. The electric contraption kills an average of 700 people a year, with over 300 of those deaths occurring in the United States. The most common injury is attempting to remove stuck food from the toaster with a utensil. This was Kindergarten 101 for me. I remember firefighters giving my entire school a healthy dose of child...
