Life has changed dramatically since my last post! First of all, my two youngest children started attending a local charter school. My third child, Sarah, graduated from that same school and is now heading off to college. How did that happen? I'm pretty sure she was in kindergarten about three weeks ago. My youngest, David, is now in 10th grade. Tenth grade! Apparently, time moves at warp speed once you become a parent. Oh, and did I mention that I work at the school now? Yep, I'm working full-time. Between being a parent and working at the school, I practically live there. At this point, they should probably just give me my own parking space and a cot. In my spare time—which seems to exist only in theory—I still love creating digital planners. I've just finished a monthly, weekly, and daily digital planner for 2026–2027, starting in July. I'm also hoping to create some matching stickers to offer for free here on the blog. Why free? Because I enjoy making them! Plus, if ...

The new year has started and we've been running from the start! We've been busy with gymnastics and taekwondo!! Never a dull moment here. I can't believe February is almost here. To celebrate, I created some cute planner covers and dividers. These match my February Poster !  These can be used in any planner. Simply Print, put in a page protector, laminate, and write in what you want. You can edit these in any program. I am uploading PDF and JPG versions. The PDF version can also be used in any portrait-sized digital planner. The Jpg version can be inserted as a graphic on the page of any document/digital planner. You can resize these, they're a high resolution, you just want to make sure you keep the same aspect ration/constrain the proportions. For those living in Australia, their new year hasn't started off well. Many of the graphics I get from Janelle from Chantahlia Design . The fires have devastated many on that Island. She started a campaign to he...

Happy New year!! 2020 is here. That means a fresh start for resolutions and a fresh start for an organizational overhaul!  For me, it's imperative that my children help. As a homeschooling mom, there is no way I'd be able to do all that I do without their help.  We are a family. We learn together, We have fun together and We clean together!  One way that helps my children are Zone cleaning cards. I posted some free ones here.  The ones I posted are printable. You can print, laminate and bind them.  I recently created a digital school planner and my children liked it! I love that I can edit it weekly and design it with fun graphics. They enjoy that too.  I decided to try zone cleaning digitally!  I created this digital zone cleaning for Goodnotes users. I have the PDF and the Goodnotes file for you to download for free.  Just import into Goodnotes and edit as you'd like. If you want to edit it in another PDF editor, the...

I think my title is a bit dramatic, but that's how I feel.  For years, Nay...Decades, I've used paper planners. I couldn't find the perfect planner, so I started to create my own planner pages. Times change and my children's needs change, thus changing my own needs. My needs for the type of planner changed. They continue to change, sometimes from day-to-day.  I didn't want lists all over the house, or apps all over my Ipad. I decided to try digital planning. I have Onenote and thought it would be a good idea. The only problem is setting up a planner, one that I liked, was worse than organizing underwear!! It took too much time and with children and all I had to  do, it wasn't something that I could stay focused on. I do have trouble focusing on things to begin with.  Simplicity is one thing that helps my ADD. If it's simple, I can continue to follow through. This includes how I decorate and organize my home and also my planner.  When y...
