Hi. I am the wife to an amazing husband and mom to five outstanding kids. I love being crafty and organization. I own a planner accessory Etsy shop and am co-owner of The West Coast Planners, where we run planner and crafty events mostly but not always on the West Coast. I am a foster for neonate (0-8 weeks) kittens, cheer mom and active volunteer. I love baking (the taste as well as the smell) even if I try to eat more healthy myself. Shopping for everything or nothing. I am active in the MOMS club and enjoy meeting new people. Makeup and purses are my new "things" to add to the list.

For amazing kitty pics you can check out my foster kitty Instagram that I share with the amazing Katie Belle.

I like being girly with a tough side, shoes, nature, cutesy animals, a mix of colors and patterns. I'm a romantic with a soft heart.

My kids birthday parties and everything to do with them, my planners/ organizers, tutus and bows, anything that calls my name.I make personalized gifts and party decorations. I love Pinterest and the ideas it leads me to.

I love the prettiness that crafting makes ordinary things become. Some of my favorite things to use: my cutting machines (Cricut Explore and Silhouette), washi tape, modge podge!!, stickers, markers and pens, stamps, ribbon, faux leather. Hearts, swirls, chevron, doodles, metallics, bows, stickers, stickers and more stickers.

I like a wide variety of music. Some of my favorites are Evanescence, Halsey, Linkin Park, Depeche Mode, 80s music, Taylor Swift, music I can dance to, music I can sing to. And on my "gym playlist" is a fair amount of Rap. Some of it is very dependent on my mood.

I don't have time for many books but I should find more. I'm the kind of girl who either gets super into a book and can't put it down... or starts it and never really picks it up again.

I have the TV on a lot, but I don't know how much of it I actually watch. A lot of time it's just background noise while I'm doing other stuff. Shows that I have put on and weren't for the hubby or kids: All true crime documentaries, Big Brother, The Challenge, Amazing Race, Survivor, Chopped, Cupcake Wars, NCIS, Dancing with the Stars, Dance Moms. I guess I like reality TV. :P

I am a pretty active member of the Planner Community. I am admin for multiple local groups that do regular meet ups. I own the following:

I am currently using an Amplify Planner and I love the layout so it may be what I use for 2021 as well.

My IG is posted and probably has the best examples of how I work planner wise for anyone needing that info. :)
