Review of my 2022 Planner
Review of my Ultimate Planner from studio 331
I have loved this planner in the past and decided to get it again for this year. I love supporting small business and this is a great product!
There is a special sale on right now Nov 22 – 29th 2021. 15% off plus free shipping. Use code Janice10. ( if you are reading this after the special, the code will still give you 10% off!)
This planner is so easy to use! It starts out with a goal page and then the whole month calendar. But I really love the weekly planner pages. I use the squares on the left page for my menus, then I like to just list all the things that I want to do/be for the week to get a good picture of what the week will look like. I use the page on the right to organize my random list into my daily tasks
An extra bonus for me is the beautiful artwork & scripture that is included!
Maybe you are ready to grab ahold of hope again and make some plans! (Lord Willing) This simple, lovely planner may just be what you are looking for! Use Code Janice10 for 10% off your order!
Here is to hope and living fully.
James 4:15

Remembering..
9/11 I was at the funeral of a gentleman from church. My husband is a pastor and involved in the service. My baby, just over two month old, was in my arms. As I overhead some staff at the church where we were holding the funeral say things like, under attack, NY city, bomb, I could tell something had happened, but had no idea what it was. On our way to the graveside, we tried to process what we were hearing on the radio. I remember how quiet everything became when all flights were grounded. We live close to two major airports outside of DC and you don’t realize how much the sound of planes overhead is just a part of life until they go silent. So many questions. Feeling very vulnerable. Anxious.
The verse that was impressed on my mind and heart that day was this:
So many times evil is loud, big, strong. How can good overcome it? Reading all of Romans 12 gives me a picture of God’s heart and how I can overcome.
Now, as than, I need this reminder to continue doing good. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Polly’s Donuts
Polly is my Mom. The story of her donuts begins when she was a teenager. . She worked for two single sisters and one of her weekly duties was to make one batch of these donuts so the sisters could have them for breakfast during the week.. Needless to say, my Mom learned the art of making amazing donuts. She knew when the dough was “just right”.
Mom has blessed many people with these donuts. Growing up, it was tradition to make donuts on Halloween to give to the trick or treaters who came to our door. Even parents would come! We make donuts a few times a year. We have a small church school and as we are able, we like to make donuts with the students. We make them on our family vacation time in West Virginia.
My son Marcus has always liked to bake with his Grandma, and he has also learned when the dough feels “just right”. This year during Covid-19 we took the time to make donuts a few times. Once for my son’s birthday, once for the school, and once just to film the process and enjoy the time with Mom.
Donuts hold a lot of memories for me! They do take time and effort to make, but when you sit down with a cup of cold milk, or coffee, or tea and take a bite of a hot glazed donut, it is so, so worth it! And I love to see how my Mom loves to share with others! We always making just a bit more then we will eat so we can share with others.
Enjoy this how-to video by Brandon Nisly
Recipe can be found with the video.
What food is meaningful to you and your family? It is so much fun to take the time to savor and document the meaningful things in our life!

Gardening and Sustainable Living Bundle
I am so excited to share this Gardening and Sustainable living bundle from ultimate bundles! This bundle is packed with practical e-book, courses, and bonuses! Growing up my parents always had a big garden. We grew and canned a lot of our vegetables. Back then it was a chore that we needed to do. In the past 5 years I have been growing my own pizza sauce garden, tomatoes, peppers, onions, and herbs. I love being able to enjoy food from my own garden!
If you’ve ever felt like YOU could never grow your own food, or if you would like to learn more, You need the Gardening & Sustainable Living Bundle.
It includes a ton of resources for getting started in gardening, with topics like how to grow veggies even if you’re short on space, preserving your food, improving your soil health, and more! I am especially interested in the planing tools and I would love to add some chickens to my space.
With 33 eBooks, eCourses, printables, and planners, you’ll discover strategies and systems that will help you live more self-sufficiently. Plus, gardening is sooooo helpful for reducing stress, boosting immunity, and making friends (unless you have lots of zucchini). That’s a gardening joke, if you missed it.
This is a huge bundle, and you may not be interested in all the topics. So pick the topics that are applicable and save the rest for a future time!
Celebrating Memories & Life!
