printables

half-sheet printable planner

I’ve been wanting to make a half-sheet (5.5″ x 8.5″) version of the most popular Life Your Way printables available for a couple months now, and I’m excited to finally release the first set in this new smaller size!

Most of these have all of the same features of their larger counterparts, just with two to each page. You’ll also notice that the margins have been adjusted so that there’s enough space on the left side of each page to punch holes and add them to a planner or small binder.

Click below to download or print each of the printables from this set:

Or get all of the Life Your Way printables (more than 100 different forms & checklists!) in a single download when you buy the complete download pack for just $7!

It also includes free monthly email updates with any new or updated printables in a single download as well. Read more about download packs here.

blogging business plan

If you blog professionally — even if you’re not yet earning money from your blog — then it’s important to treat your blog as a business. One way you can do that is by putting together an actual business plan.

Your business plan doesn’t need to be a formal document since you’re probably not working with investors and financing, but it should be a place where you record your goals, think critically about your strengths and weaknesses, outlined expected expenses and create a plan for your blog.

My friend Shannon from For the Mommas is one of the most business-minded people I know, and she’s a huge proponent of putting together a business plan, no matter how big or small your blog is. Although I’ve thought through each of these items individually, I’ve never taken the time to put them in writing in one place, and so I’ve put together this printable business plan for you as well as myself.
