Passion Planner...

Hello All!

This year I decided to get a planner. It has become too much to keep all of my stuff organized with my phone, scraps of paper, and a million sticky notes. I looked at a lot of planners such as Whitney English, Moleskin, Erin Condren, Kate Spade, etc. None of these fit the bill. I wanted a planner that gave me room to take notes, write out my to do list, has weekly and monthly calendar views, inspirational quotes, pockets, and perhaps a budget keeping section. The one that came close was Whitney English, but I could not come to grips with paying the price. I talked to my "agenda, organizer, planner pro" friend, Frances, of Just Piddlin  and she suggested Passion Planner.

Passion Planner was created by Angela Trinidad, a college student who funded Passion Planner through Kickstarter. Passion Planner is the one place for all of your thoughts. It contains motivational quotes, goal setting guide, gratitude log, appointment calendar, journal, sketchbook, weekly and daily focuses, and personal to do lists. Basically, it's everything I was looking for and more, plus it's super affordable What sold me was the goal setting guide.  However, there is an upside and downside. Downside: they received an overwhelming positive response to Passion Planner that they simply can not keep up with the demand. At this time, they are just now fulfilling December's orders. I didn't want to receive my 2015 planner in March. This leads me to the upside. You can download Passion Planner for free on their website. I downloaded my planner and went to Kinko's for binding. Total cost was $25. I love it. Take a look below. To download your Passion Planner, go here.

How do you stay organized? Do you have a planner? If so, what kind?


This is what sold me. Passion Roadmap. A step-by-step guide to mapping out your goals.

Essentials: Plenty of space for jotting down stuff. I write big so I need lots of room.

Every crafter/DIYer loves washi tape. It adds personality to your agenda.

Spring Organization Challenge...

Happy Wednesday! I came across a great Spring organization challenge on Pinterest, pictured below.  It's for 21 days. Each day you organization a small section in your home. I'm going to give this a go, starting today. I am the biggest procrastinator and my organizational skills need some major improvement. So, what do you think? Are you going to give it a try? Seems easy. Substitutions are allowed. For example, if you do not have a garage or basement/attic, then organize a spare bedroom, magazine rack, junk drawer or hallway.

Are you an awesome organizer? Please share your tips!

Closet Envy...

My closet is out of control. It's bursting at the seams. It takes me forever to get an outfit together or to find something that I just know isn't in the cleaners or in the laundry room. To top it all off, I have to share a closet with my husband. Eek!

 I think every girl would love to have a closet like Carrie from Sex in the City. Since that is not happening for me anytime soon, I have to organize and create space. I'm not good at the "If you haven't worn it in a year, toss it" Oprah saying. I think about all of the stuff I have sold on eBay years ago that I would kill to have now. A pair of Justine cowboy boots I got while in college. My first Coach bag... SOLD to the highest bidder! So I'm a little reluctant to toss my stuff.

Last weekend I made my first step towards organizing. I bought a  box of  35 space saving black hangers at Costco for $8.  Do you have any great closet organization tips? Let's hear it. In the meantime, check out these great closets that would make any gal have Closet Envy.


Love the ottoman and floor length mirror.


Lots of bright light. Would definitely take a nap on the chaise lounge. Love that stuff is eye level. No need for a ladder.

Girls Night Out in my closet! Let's sip on wine while I try on stuff!
