A recent “how was work?” conversation with my hubby got me thinking about the effectiveness of the parts of my life that give structure to my Plan Time. Let me explain.
My husband is a technician who often visits clients to fix their machines. He has an extensive knowledge of all the working parts and connections needed for maximum performance. Think motherboards, driver updates, a fully loaded tool bag, etc. It’s remarkable how intricate the things are that...

 After several days of pain, I finally felt great.
I woke up refreshed, ready to tackle everything I wasn’t able to do during the crippling migraine I had for nearly three days. I had been down for a while, which meant I had plenty of chores that needed accomplished - recording several podcast episodes, writing two blog posts, cleaning my house, and going grocery shopping. But my enthusiasm drained as quickly as it came. Not even three minutes after I began recordin...

I am a bullet journaler.
I LOVE my bullet journal.Â
I may or may not have multiple bullet journals for different aspects of my life, but the main one lives in my purse.
When I first learned about bullet journals, I thought they were kind of weird. But once I grasped the concept, I dove in and haven’t really looked back.Â
What is a bullet journal?Â
The bullet journal concept was created by Ryder Carroll. He used (and still uses) it as a way to capture ...

When I’m sitting in the quiet of the morning, anticipating the tasks of a new day, the first part of my plan is to listen. And I listen in order to plan everything else. God is not a part of my day, rather, I am a part of His. He made plans for this day long before I opened my eyes. I’m His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that I should walk in them (Eph. 2:10). So I lay down my goals, my plans, and my stresses, ...

Our son is 13 years old and a fine young man. For a while now, he has been choosing to read a Proverb a day. Sometimes I sit with him and we read together. It continues to amaze me how much wisdom is packed into every verse and chapter.Â
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.Â
Proverbs 16:9
It is a verse like this that gives me great pause to think. In my heart I do plan my course. Then the verse says, “but” and remin...

My husband and I recently got a wild hair to plan a beach trip and surprise our three young children by embarking on this secret journey the following day. Our firstborn was a baby the last time we had visited the beach, and since he was so little, he didn’t remember the experience. We were really looking forward to this trip and seeing the excitement on the faces of our little ones as they experienced the sand between their toes and the clap of the waves for the fi...

Long ago, during the era now known as The Great Before (pre-Covid-19), there were pick-ups and drop-offs, play-dates and recitals, practices and games. And OH, how we complained! If only we had more hours in the day to plan everything out, we’d be in so much better shape! “Planning is so hard!” we exclaimed to ourselves and to anyone who would listen at Mommy and Me, blissfully unaware of the turmoil that lay ahead. Welp, here we are, living in the The Great Unkn...

Proverbs 31 tells us that “An excellent wife… rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household…” and yet, over the years the way that we do that has changed many times. One way I can do this is by planning, and that planning I do in the wee hours of the morning keeps the food on the table and helps me to not lose all sanity. Â
As a mom who works full time, my mornings are RUSHED to say the least. But Hello Mornings has given me a game plan, yea...

 Most of us know the famous old Serenity Prayer written by Reinhold Niebhur. In fact most people can quote it regardless of their faith or religion and it is found on everything from blankets to key chains. For me, this simple prayer led to a huge change in my God Time and Plan Time over the past few months.
One day while trying to find ways to de-stress I decided to simply list everything that was weighing on my mind just to get it out of my head and onto pap...
