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 Thanksgiving!!  Thanksgiving marks the start of the Christmas season for us!  We had an amazing Thanksgiving. My son, his wife, and Henry, her service dog were here.  We had a great time!  I made these covers and dividers for January. The covers can be edited if you know how to add in text. For those of you using a MAC, you can add in the text using Preview. For those using Word, you add the files like an image and then add a text box.   I made these as 8.5 x 11. I have uploaded them as PNG files. You can adjust the size of these, keeping the aspect ratio.  These were made using graphics from Chantahlia Designs .  I do not charge for them. I do NOT require that you follow me to download them.  If you'd like to be notified of my posts, then subscribe to my blog.  You can also follow me on Instagram, and Pinterest.

Today Sarah and I are leaving for a mission trip with our church family.  Click Here if you'd like to learn about our Church, Calvary Chapel in Clayton , NC.  I love my church family. Nothing but real people, real sinners, learning how to love the Lord and serve Him daily.   While some mission trips are nothing more than vacations, this one won't be. Sleeping on the floor, etc. I'm looking forward to this time with Sarah, but NOT sleeping on the floor. My back isn't going to like it. We're not perfect. Far from it, but I love being able to do this with her. Getting back to the reality of how blessed we are.  We take so much for granted here in America. We're blessed and live in a country where our standard of living is much higher than the others. This trip is also about growing in His love. As much as we serve others, we really learn so much more in this.  I love this time of the year. I enjoy making holiday printables. Many of ...

Fall has finally arrived here in NC. Fall weather means cool mornings, cool evenings and open windows!  This is my happy place.  Moving from NY to NC was such a blessing but getting used to the warmer weather has proven to be harder than I thought it would be. My third year here and I'm feeling more acclimated to NC weather.  That doesn't mean I don't look forward to the cooler weather!!  To celebrate I created 12 Notebook covers or planner dividers. You can use these any way you want. Click Here to Download   These are all free to download. I have them as a PNG file. You can resize them to any size planner you use.  Why can I share these for free??  I got all these awesome graphics for free from Chantahlia Design.   Janelle creates these and offers them for free on her site. What a generous person. Because of her generosity, I always share her site when I use her graphics.  Please don't send any files directl...

Click Here to download October is almost here, and I'm very excited. There is nothing like chilly, crisp fall mornings. In my case, the start of Fall means that my weather is still in the '90s. I'm not complaining. Ok, I'm complaining. I don't miss the snow of NY, but I do miss the beautiful fall mornings and fall leaves.  I'm not a huge fan of Halloween, but my children seem to love when I surprise them with new covers.  There's nothing like a cute notebook or planner cover to start your new month of on a celebratory note!  These can also be used as a planner divider.  I created these sets. I use The Happy Planner discs for my children's planners.  These covers or dividers are A4, letter size. I have uploaded them as a PNG, so that you can resize them to any size you use. If you use the mini, classic or full-sized planner, these can be resized. I've also included back covers with out any labels.  I also created a cut...

Happy Memorial Day! For some,  this day is a sad one. They're missing loved ones who gave up their lives for our freedom. Thank you to those who have sacrificed everything!! Thank you to the spouses who are at home, keeping the home front going!!  In celebration of this weekend, I was hoping to get this done earlier in the week and that wasn't happening.  I created a youtube Video/Vlog to show you how I use these. How I made them reusable and how I clean them off again and again. **Youtube Video** Please excuse the messy hair... the messy kitchen...and not-so-great video... life happens and I did this quickly. This is one of the largest free downloads I've ever done. I'm very excited. I love this beautiful print from Chantahlia Designs !!

It's so easy to download my documents and very easy to personalize too!!  We are very busy here and I created this quickly!!

What a great and busy weekend we had!! I can't believe that my 4th child, my baby, my gentle giant turned 8 years old!! It seems like just yesterday I held him in my arms trying to decide a name for him. It took my husband and me a few hours to name him.  We had purchased tickets to see the Kratt brothers months back. We knew Sarah had a gymnastics meet that weekend but never thought it would be on the same day as the tickets!! Turns out it was!! She had her meet, the Brittany Coppedge Invitational in Raleigh at 1pm. The show started at 4:30.  We made it!! David had no idea that we had gotten him tickets. We had also gotten him a new video game for his Ninetendo Switch!! He found out at the meet about seeing the Kratt Brothers.  He is such a sweet young man. I was so happy to surprise him with this.  Sarah had a great time with her event. She didn't do as well on the floor as she had in the past. I saw her face when her team mate KILLED it o...

This time of the year, we're finishing up this years work with the thought of next year in the back of our minds.  For some, like myself, we already know what we're doing. I will be organizing and rearranging our school room to better fit what we really use. Nothing like having tons of books around that we never used. It makes me feel inferior that we never got to all those great literature books. I know that It's ok, but still, having them around bothers me. I'll be putting them away, so that my guilt goes with it. (Just keeping it real) One way that I reorganize is new notebook covers for the kids. My son loves to have covers that reflect his personality. Same for my daughter. These are some standard covers that I use in binders. I've used standard binders but I find that heavy duty binders are the way to go. Yes, you can save a few dollars, but usually those binders have to be replaced. Either the rings tend to open, or the pocket inside rips, or the cover...
