You can purchase the downloadable Lovely Life Seasonal Planner from the store.
Our days can slip away quickly if we don’t intentionally protect our time. Without a mindful approach, it’s easy to feel like one season rushes into the next before we’ve had a chance to enjoy it.
Even as empty nesters with more freedom than when our children were at home, we still juggle routines, work, family, a house and pets. The busyness of life doesn’t disappear—it just changes shape.
No matter which season of life you’re in or what you’re trying to accomplish, being intentional with your time supports your sense of well-being. In earlier posts and in my book Love the Home You Have, I’ve written about embracing a less frantic, more mindful rhythm at home. That approach helps life flow more naturally through the changing seasons. A Lovely Life has been on my heart for more than a decade, and I’m excited to finally share it with you.
In my new book, A Lovely Life, I share simple ways to savor the everyday joys of each season.
The book is easy to flip through and filled with photographs and ideas to encourage presence in each season and to help you notice the beauty around you.
NEW DOWNLOADABLE RESOURCE!
A Lovely Life Planner: A Guide to Savoring Every Season.
The A Lovely Life Seasonal Planner is a printable companion to the book or a useful standalone resource. The download includes customizable pages to record seasonal plans, homemaking and soul-tending reflection prompts, gratitude lists, journal prompts, inspirational quotes and more.
In A Lovely Life I emphasize being intentional with your days. Taking one small step toward the life you want can make a big difference. The book and the downloadable planner are designed to be simple and approachable—not time-consuming—so you can more easily savor each season.
The Lovely Life Planner is available from the store. It makes a lovely hands-on companion to the book, offering a brief, intentional time to consider what matters to you each season and to make a simple plan.
I treated myself to a pretty three-ring notebook and clear dividers to organize my planner pages. Setting it up has helped me feel more focused and less frazzled as I plan spring and summer rhythms in our new home and neighborhood.
Botanical art printables (several versions available)
We also offer a botanical artwork printable set that works beautifully as framed art, a gift, a planner cover, a wall accent or an inspiration-board addition. The set includes several versions: a plain botanical design and three variations with the quote “Loveliness Can Grow Wherever You Are.”
Sometimes a gentle nudge or a supportive friend is all we need to encourage the things we want to do for ourselves and our homes. That hope is at the heart of everything I create—books and resources meant to uplift and guide without overwhelming.
There will always be more ideas and resources than we can possibly use, and that can feel overwhelming. What I find most helpful is a friendly voice and a little encouragement to keep moving forward. Your mindset matters—so if you feel overwhelmed, a simple planner, a short list of priorities or a small creative prompt can make progress feel manageable.
A Lovely Life is available wherever you buy books.
