My Top Tips for Travel Planning
Jun 6, 2017 | planning, travel
The cruise ended much too quickly and I'm now back home wondering if it's too soon to book another one. Although I've had a planner during travel in the past, this was the first trip I really hunkered down to figure out a system to document the adventures. Plus I filmed a before and after video to show you what I completed before we set sail and...

Planning Essentials I’m Bringing on a Cruise
May 25, 2017 | planning, travel
We are leaving on our belated honeymoon/my sister's wedding cruise in just two days and I am not ready at all. We had the great pleasure of being a part of the Planner Boss Collective sale over the weekend and are still recovering. It's like getting married. You never believe what people tell you it's going to be like until it happens to you. We...

Holland Tulip Time Festival
May 9, 2017 | travel
Getting out of the house is really important for two people who work from home. So whenever there's an event or an opportunity to go explore, we take it. It's become a tradition of ours to head over to the Holland Tulip Festival every year. This year we were particularly interested in checking out the craft show. We've been setting up our own...

That One Time I Met Erin Condren: A San Francisco Tale
Mar 16, 2017 | planning, travel
It's been quiet on the blogging front lately as I took a break for our recent trip to San Francisco. All my pre-trip time was spent getting our shop in order rather than scheduling posts. We're happily back in the cold mitten now and I can finally reflect on the whirlwind that was PlannerCon 2017. So much happened. Like, beyond the actual...

What to Pack for a Planner Conference | What I’m Bringing to PlannerCon 2017
Mar 8, 2017 | planning, travel
We are just mere days away from heading to San Francisco for PlannerCon and I'm in full-blown packing mode. It feels like ages since I've flown anywhere so I'm taking the entire process very seriously. Plus I've never packed so many planner supplies before and I must say I'm pretty jazzed about it. So whether or not you have a planner conference...

A Weekend in the City
Oct 3, 2016 | Grand Rapids
Over the weekend the inlaws came to visit us in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They've been to our home a few times, but we haven't really had the opportunity to show them just why we love our city so much. Although the weather was pretty mediocre, we dodged the rain and took a trip to Frederik Meijer Gardens to wow them with its awesomeness. Alex...

Exploring Michigan with JORD Fieldcrest
Watches have always seemed like such a luxury to me. I'd see someone wearing a beautiful watch and think, one day I'll have a watch that makes me feel like a million bucks. I recently acquired that unique watch and have been taking it on little adventures with me ever since. Alex and I attended a wedding over the weekend near Port...
