Simple Refrigerator, Freezer & Pantry Inventory Printables
Food inventories haven’t been especially effective for me in the past. I was good at making the lists…but honestly? I rarely ever referenced them again! And IMO, a list you write, but never look at again = a big waste of time. What I did differently this time: First, I listed out the majority of the food in the space (pantry/fridge/freezer). Then, for each food I listed as many meal ideas as possible. I tried sticking to meals with relatively simple ingredients so that I wouldn’t have to do a ton of extra shopping (if any) to make them!

Monthly reflection and goal setting printables
Use these free monthly reflection and goal setting printables to help you set meaningful and intentional goals each month! Every new year, I brainstorm goals in six different categories using this tracker. For 2021, I also included a similar printable to use to for reflecting on the previous year. Honestly, this was the first time I had ever stopped to reflect on the past, before planning for the future–but I can’t tell you how helpful it was! It gave me a clear sense of what areas were strengths and which were weaknesses. After completing the reflection I was able to create intentional goals based on the highs and lows of…

Favorite Functional Planning Supplies
If you know me, you know I am a sucker for a pretty, colorful, paper product. I love all things planners, notebooks, pens….sticky notes 😉 you name it. Over the years I have tried a LOT of different products- between my love for planning, DIY and teaching, I would bet that there is not much that I haven’t tried haha. However, as I’ve gotten older and grown to desire a more minimalistic, simplified home- I have found myself choosing functional supplies over pretty ones. Even better if I can use them for multiple purposes! This post shares my top eight favorite functional planning products. Ones that I use over and…
