I love journaling and I love fountain pens, but I haven’t yet found a good insert for my traveler’s notebook (TN) that works well with my fountain pens. Because I can’t stand ink bleeding through my pages (essentially making the back side unusable), I tend to buy thicker paper and inserts and now have a […]
How to Make an Art Journal
When I first got into art, I wanted a place to store it all rather than random pages strewn all about my room. A book that I could refer to and flip through and be inspired from. A place to destress and express myself and learn and grow my art skills (I’m a complete beginner […]
Doodle Challenge Printable
I love doodling. I don’t go overboard, I am not super talented, but it is a TON of fun and I love the added dimension in my planning pages. So many people look at doodles in planners and write themselves off with a simple “I can’t do that.” I was one of those people. But […]
5 Tips to Teach Math (When Your Child is Falling Behind)
Teaching math is hard enough on it’s own, what do you do when your child is falling behind? There is so much pressure that we face as homeschool mom’s to “keep up” with grade levels and teaching certain topics in certain time frames. I think it is easy to forget that the pressures we feel […]

S1E6: An Inside Look at Unschooling

Why I Have a Planning Routine
When I talk about planning, I get either one of two responses. The first group of people is all ears, their eyes light up and they soak in every word. They want to see my planner, my planning supplies, show me theirs, it is like two giddy school girls getting together and gushing about a […]

My Homeschool Bullet Journal Setup
As a homeschool mom of 5, I have literally tried every planner out there. I tried all the little homeschool planners with all their little boxes and it was never enough. It was either too much of one thing or too little of another. It wasn’t tailored to my family, to our unique needs. I […]
100+ Bullet Journal Collection Ideas
Bullet journaling (a customized form of planning where you make it what you need it to be) is only as helpful as you make it. I find that when I try to emulate other people’s planners it starts to become something that isn’t as tailored to my life. So I wanted to give you 100+ […]
Math Lessons for a Living Education Review
When I first heard of Math Lessons for a Living Education, I was intrigued, in a very reserved manner. You see, I have tried a LOT of different math programs. I have learned (the hard way) that math can make or break your homeschool! I was hesitant to try something new because I had worked […]
S1E5: Is Traditional Homeschooling Right for Me?
Traditional homeschooling is a style of education that closely resembles the school system. In homeschool circles, it is often referred to as “playing school” because you try to mimic the look, feel, and rhythm of a regular school day in your home. It can work wonderfully for some moms and children, but for a good […]
Top Bullet Journal Tips I Wish I Would Have Known
It is hard to believe it has been almost 1 year since I first heard about bullet journaling.

Then I had to set up my inserts […]

An Amazing Planner Subscription Box
I love all things planning. Ever since I was a kid, I was teased mercilessly that my ideal present could be bought at Staples. When I was 8 I was given a leather accordion file folder case and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world (I think I still have that!). The […]
Writing with a Fountain Pen: a Comparison Video Review
There are SO so so so many fountain pens out there it can be quite frankly incredibly intimidating getting your feet wet. Where do you start? Which pens are going to be the best for what you intend to do with them? How do they write? What should you look for? What is bleeding and […]
Bullet Journal Weekly Layout Ideas
Weekly planning is one of my FAVORITE things to do. I set up a time each Saturday to set up my new weekly spread. I spend time researching on Pinterest, make myself a hot drink, turn on some music, and plan! Better yet now that it is fall and I have the pitter-patter of the […]
How to Make Planning a Habit that you Stick With!
Planning confessional… I don’t always want to plan. Some days I am so busy “doing” or even “not doing” that planning is the furthest thing form my mind. Some days I just can’t stand that to-do list staring up at me because it reminds me of how little I accomplished. Some days, I am completely […]
Coschedule Review: How I Schedule and Grow My Blog
Any blogger or website owner knows that social media is a critical part of growing your business. You can create amazing content, but if no one knows about it, it isn’t going to help you. About a year ago I stumbled across CoSchedule and fell in LOVE. It did everything I needed, saved me a […]
Plan With Me: Setting Up a New Month
I LOVE watching short little video’s of people setting up their weekly or monthly spreads. There is something about seeing someone draw on paper that is therapeutic and soothing. It inspires and calms at the same time, and you just can’t stop watching, you need to see the masterpiece unfold! That’s why when I was […]

The Best Resource for Homeschool Geography
I have a confession, I kind of sidestepped the whole “geography” thing. In fact, I am not very consistent with Social Studies in general. Now before you judge me, hear me out. My kids are still relatively young and up until now, teaching them “facts” about history that doesn’t mean anything to them seems pointless. […]
31 Days of Journal Prompts for Moms
Journaling… this word has so much power. For many of us it brings fond memories and a way to process, de-stress, recharge. For others, it fills them with anxiety, stress, and pressure to perform.

How I am More Successful with my Business Planner

Setting Up My Business Bullet Journal
