Live Creatively®️ and Plan a Happy Life™️ — two tag lines that have shaped so much of my life since late 2015. ✨When I purchased my first Happy Planner®️, it was always about more than needing a planner. We had just moved back to my hometown after having our second baby and I didn’t have a single friend.

With two busy, active boys and a husband who travels often and works long hours, the Happy Planner® is the glue that holds this house together. From the monthly desk calendar that serves as our Family Battle Plan, to the weekly lists that help me get stuff done, the Happy Planner® has provided organization, function, and structure to our days. Most importantly, the Happy Planner® helps me keep the ME in Mommy.

I don’t even know where to begin to explain how much being on the squad has meant to me. I feel like I should wear one of those buttons that says “The Happy Planner™️ change my life, ask me how!” What started out as a tool to track my day has turned into something that has brought me such creative joy, true inspiration, and fantastic friendships I will have for life.

Some people say it’s just paper and stickers but it’s more that that for me. This may sound cliché but I feel like my planner has grown with me. I love looking back at my journey through my planners. From a stressed out nursing student, to starting my career and now starting a family. It’s so encouraging to look back at past planners and things I thought I could not accomplish but DID!

When I discovered The Happy Planner® a little over a year ago, I had no idea that a paper planner and stickers would quite literally change my life. I was in a very dark place, being a caregiver to my husband who had a terminal illness. I started planning as a way to keep track of all of his medical needs and my own personal to do lists. What happened was it opened up a whole entire world of creativity, friendship and new ventures for me.

Since The Happy Planner® entered my life, so many things have changed. As a full-time working mom of two active boys, it became difficult to fit things in for my own enjoyment. The Happy Planner® re-ignited my creativity in a way that still felt useful and productive. I was able to have some coveted "me time," while also working on being organized and planning ahead for the sake of my family. It truly is the perfect combination! 

Where do I begin? I'm not sure there are adequate words for the impact The Happy Planner®️ has made on my life. And that doesn't even begin to cover what Stephanie means to me. But I'll try. 

Being a member of The Happy Planner® SQUAD has been such a whirlwind and one of the most AMAZING things that has ever happened to me! It’s more than just getting all of the beautiful swag; I have been part of a brand that encourages women to be empowered and promotes HAPPY in all areas of our lives.

How can a planner change someone’s life? I’m sure a lot of people wonder that when I make such declarations.
