My Autumn 10 🍁 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Happy Autumn!!! September 22nd marks the first official day of autumn, but let’s be honest. Most of us have entered the autumn-state-of-mind weeks ago, fresh off of Labor Day. Well, at least we’re trying to in spite of this dang heat wave we’re having. I never thought I’d see the day when such warm temps makes me genuinely cranky and irritable, but that was 100% how I felt these first few weeks of September.

My Weekly Framework in My Commonplace Notebook (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello there! If you know me personally, or even adjacently really, you’d probably know that I am a planner to my core. I love a Google sheet. I love a Notes app list. But even more than snazzy technology tools, I love a physical notebook planner. Erin Condren has been my go-to for a handful of years now, but the truth is….
