Five Things Friday: My Happy Planners

by Molly Jo Realy @RealMojo68

Okay. So, I guess we knew this post had to happen sooner or later, right? Y’all know my love for Happy Planning. I mean, from the day I brought my first one home I started telling you about it. Remember 2017 Prep: My Happy Planner? And Hobbes’ Mexican Chicken Meatloaf?

I laughed at the groups on Facebook. I saw ridiculous posts of women with four and five planners and entire shelves devoted to the art of the plan.

“No,” I told myself. “I will not be one of those. I will notread the rest. . .

All I Did Was Take a Photo

Hey y’all (I said “y’all,” y’all!)!
