For the last three months of 2021 I’m going to be trying out three different planners and sharing with you. This first planner is a printable planner that is completely free and customizable from Scattered Squirrel. I’ve been working in it for two full weeks and though I don’t love having them in a binder…
I only finished one book in September, but it was probably one of the best books I’ve ever read, Uncle Tom’s Cabin. It was infuriating and beautiful and it really made me think. Have you read it? If you’ve read it, what did you think?
I made it through September in my 2021 Bullet Journal and then I ran out of room. Rather than buy a new notebook and have the rest of the year in part of another notebook, I thought I’d run a 3 month experiment that might really help you too. I’m going to try a different…
A little background to this post: I see what is going on in the world, all around the world, and even here right at home, and honestly, I’m scared. Most of us are. We might be fearful of COVID, or wary of the vaccine, angry at people in power, irritated with our neighbors, friends, or…
I started a new reading notebook that I’m kind of figuring out while I go. I know it needs to do a few things for me. 1. I would like it to be a record of what I read and what I thought about what I read.2. I also want it to be a place…

Dr. Lloyd-Jones was born in…
I’ve started and deleted this post multiple times. I have so many thoughts on it and experiences with it that it’s overwhelming to try to nail it down to a blog post. But I had to start here, because you will see this is a theme in my life right now and will be a…
Here’s how my July bullet journal filled up… The “What I Did This Month” page ended up not working because I was kind of already reviewing my day on the “memories” page for this month. So for August, that’ll be gone. And the “one line reading reflection” was a great idea, but I’m still learning…
Last year was a great year for a lot of us. Being locked down in 2020 revived a lot of long put aside hobbies and unused skills. We put a wonderful garden in and got some perfect compost from a nearby horse boarding stable. And the garden did amazingly well. So this year, we were…
