Looking back, perhaps I always knew I’d create a planner for busy women―for moms on-the-go, for all my girls out there trying to gracefully (and sanely!) navigate hectic daily schedules. As a mother, I get it: we juggle what is deemed “the impossible” some days. I understand the crazy lifestyles of ladies in college and those out there working steady 9 to 5’s and overtime. I say we unite and do it with flair!

BEHIND THE DESIGN

For a long time, I couldn’t find a planner to suit my needs, and my cell phone calendar certainly wasn’t doing the trick. I needed a physical space to jot down upcoming activities, regular appointments, work meetings, sports nights, and even our family’s dinner menu. I needed a method of organization that allowed me to look over the contents of my beautiful but, at times, overwhelming life. Thus, I set out to design the “Busy Lifestyle Planner” for busy women like me.

My “Busy Lifestyle Planner” is tailor-made for ladies who find themselves rather lost among unending to-do lists, healthcare visits, school functions, and chores around the house. It includes not only the traditional large-scope monthly calendars but also the more in-depth weekly pages with day-to-day breakdowns for specific routines and reminders. And don’t worry about beginning your busy lifestyle planning after January; the calendar bubbles are left blank so you can write in dates for any month you choose! I even inserted a weekly meal prep section along with areas for notes and the week ahead. One of my favorite boxes is labeled “Gratitudes,” in which you can pen the names of people to thank. After all, sometimes it takes a village―am I right?

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Beyond dates and times, the “Busy Lifestyle Planner” affords busy women the chance to plan in unique ways. There are pages within that serve as designated “safe spaces” for every mom or otherwise overworked female to dream a little. A busy lifestyle can often put an end to our long-term aspirations. But with the “Busy Lifestyle Planner,” you’re invited to journal about the big picture and your lifetime aims and expectations. The goal setting pages are there for you to write down the necessary steps for your future personal achievements.

I love the vision board whitespace where I can paste in “the visuals” of my year to come―magazine clippings of gardens, hairstyles, and maybe faraway countries, alongside pictures of my friends and family. I doodle there occasionally, and all of the images represent my hopes and longings. They are my personal symbols―my anchors―inspiring and guiding me. 

FULL STEAM AHEAD

As we plan ahead, I anticipate this “Busy Lifestyle Planner” will help us down roads of trial, uncertainty, triumph, and celebration. And did I mention it’s cute? Well, it is. For me, the light pinks that adorn the cover and pages stand for our soft, nurturing spirits. The gold touches remind us we’re brilliant and powerful.

Life won’t always be chaotic, but I can guarantee it will be busy. Order your “Busy Lifestyle Planner” today!
