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.

19 March 2018 - Why Woodn't You

Try Putting Up Wallboard? Why Not? "In the spring one tends to think about the sprucing up the home." In the 70's wood paneling was all the rage. Wallboard or as it commonly called today - Decorative Paneling. There are some seriously cute panelings out there today. Typically, when you think of wall paneling, you think of wooden paneling. I have some in my living room and it is very dated. It's so dark that is great for movie nights but mostly it just feels like a room that is sucking the light from your house. I found an article from Houzz that has some modern looks for us in the year 2018. So if you decide to go the way of decorative paneling, please steer clear of the basic stuff, and go for a nice chic modern look!

5 February 2018 - The Christmas Star

Store Poinsettia Soon Did you get one of these flowers for Christmas? If so and you haven't thrown it away or killed it, it is soon time to do something else with it. This Almanac entry is about taking care of that red plant. I don't garden. Let me clarify I can garden. I choose not to. Once upon a time I had a vegetable garden and it was amazing. The best tomatoes, organic produce, crazy long green beans, and some fresh basil. Now when a weed came and destroyed everything and all my hard work was gone I just put my gloves and shovel down exclaiming "I QUIT!" .... If you care to keep your plant around for next Christmas you can follow these instructions here. .... URBAN LEGENDS Now there is a myth that the plant is toxic. There is an urban legend that states a child died from eating the leaves of the plant. In truth the poinsettia isn't toxic enough to kill a person. Eating it can cause an ...

26 March 2018 - Guess Who's Back, Christ is Back, Tell a Friend

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post. This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion. Jesus would go on to be betraye...
