So 2021 was pretty abysmal for setting, remembering, and meeting goals. I didn’t have them out where I could see them, and I didn’t review them, so only two were reached. This year I’m setting goals in seven areas and I’ve printed them out and hung them up where they will haunt me daily. I’ll…
I’m back in a Bullet Journal and it feels so good! I spent the last couple weeks looking at layout ideas and reviewing my old Bullet Journals (I started in 2014 and have 8 years worth now!) and figuring out what to keep and what to toss. I decided to keep things simple and stick…
In December I tried out the Anchored Women S.O.S. Planner for the month. If you are looking for a printable and customizable planner this one might be for you! I enjoyed my time in it, and appreciated all the little extras, like a weekly review “looking back” page and a “looking ahead” planning page each…
Every Christmas it was always the same. Our boys would hunt under the tree and sort out their gifts by the gift tag, and pretty much figure out what was in each one. Even the cleverly disguised ones, like a tiny gift in a big box with a brick in it. So frustrating for me…
For my final planner test of the year I chose the S.O.S Planner from Kayse at Anchored Women. It’s a digital download that has lots of customizable options to choose from. I used this planner in 2017 when I was homeschooling my boys and loved it. Since that time she has updated a lot of…
In November, I used the Hopefuel planner for the entire month to test it out and see what I thought. (You can see the set up for the month here, and the reason why I’m not bullet journaling right now here.) What did I think? Up front you should know that I loved this planner….
For me, every December is practice month! I try to work on just one new habit (or two) that I want to implement in January. I figure this gives me a bit of a head start with developing the habit, and if I miss a day or two, I don’t beat myself up about it…
My first November challenge was to finally shred the rest of our old bills and bank statements. My second challenge was to organize my recipe binders. I needed to get rid of recipes we haven’t made and put in the new ones I’ve been making and using for over a year now that are just…
How did you guys do on your first week of the challenge? I had quite a few of you commit to join me and I would love an update on how it went for you! Here’s how my first challenge (shred old papers) started: how it went… …and how it stands now! After all that…
Since I’m no longer homeschooling, and I no longer have little boys who need the entire backyard to fight play in, and we expanded (and poisoned) the garden, and we got chickens, my friend suggested starting a Homestead Notebook. It’s kind of like a bullet journal, but with all the things I’m learning and doing…
