Bullet Journal Plan With Me | March One Planner Challenge

Cheers to all the love in the planner community and the challenge I’m taking on. Shay Budgets and E. Michelle, both budget and beyond YouTubers, created a one planner challenge. In other words, use the same planner all month long. I couldn’t resist and I had to get in on the action.

Parkoo Pen Review

Cheers to blogmas day 4! For all  my pen lovers out there, this one is for you. I will be reviewing Parkoo Erasable Pens. I don’t review often, but many of you will find this of interest. Plus, what better time to share a review than the holiday season. This would be a great gift for the planner lover in your life. Better yet, for anyone that likes a good pen in general.

Disclaimer: These pens were sent to me for review for the purpose of this series. All opinions are my own.

Bullet Journal Decorate With Me | Football Schedule

Every year I love to create a schedule for my planner specifically for my teams football schedule. Newsflash, to any new readers out there, I am a die hard Steelers fan and have been since 2005. That probably doesn’t matter to many, but hell, it does to me. So, here’s another idea for creating a sports schedule in your planner. This would work best for an NFL or college schedule for that matter. As for other sports with lengthier games, you’d have to adjust accordingly.

Halloween Planner Haul

I’m no stranger to sharing my favorite goodies here on the blog in hopes of one of you tapping into your creative spirit. I love this time of year. Aside from fall and October being my birthday month, the latter part of the year gives any excuse to decorate. As I set up my bullet journal for the month, I thought I’d share my Halloween stash I’ve accumulated.

New Mini Happy Planner

I’m back on the Happy Planner bandwagon. I haven’t used on in over a year, although I’ve been inspired by the various ways they’re being used in the planner community. I used a classic size when I was using it daily. I have a BIG Happy Planner for memory planning. All I was missing was a mini HP. So, when I found one on sale at Tuesday Morning, I couldn’t pass it up.

Tracking my Anxiety and Migraines

May is Mental Health Awareness month so what better time than now than to share how I track my anxiety. There are many different ways that people do it. For me, I’ve begun tracking it on pen and paper in my planner. It’s been working thus far and I’ve been able to pinpoint when it happens and really monitor it as best I can.

Planning In My Ring Planner

Cheers to another blog post. I’ve finally figured out a schedule. I will have a planner related post to share with you all every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Of course I’ll have other post sprinkled in here and there, especially my Sound Off series. I hope you all stay tuned and if you have any particular requests, just leave a comment.

I previously shared a flip through of my ring planner and I wanted to share how I plan. This is not like my Happy Planner in which I had an overload of stickers. This is a bit more simple with decorative touches.

2018 Home Management Binder

Finally ANOTHER blog post. It feels like forever, but I’m back at it. This post is a different take on planning. I wanted to share with you all my home management binder. The last time I used one was in 2014. I haven’t used one since. I’ve written down my expenses in various places. I have passwords either stored in my memory bank or on a sticky note somewhere. I was inspired by many of the systems I’ve been seeing on social media and there’s nothing wrong with having a central location. I’m not a mom nor do I have a lot going on in general, but a home management binder is a great way for me to stay on top of my expenses. Furthermore, there’s information inside that I need to easily access without going through a filing system. Let’s get to it.
