A Friend | Free Printable Download
Within the past week, I’ve been able to see two of my close friends from my college days. It was so wonderful to see both girls and catch up! I just had the best time with both of them and I was sad to say goodbye. Since we just moved to a new town, I have left my close friends and I feel like I’m starting over making connections while trying hard to keep in touch with those sweet friends now 4 hours away from me. It has me thinking a lot lately of the value of friendship.

got to love the hold-your-arm-out-and-take-the-photo photo!}
Just a couple weeks ago when my daughter came home from her second day of K3 at her new school, out of the blue at dinner she recited the Pledge of Allegiance. You should have seen us about passing out on the floor and yet both scrambling to find our iPhones to catch the moment on video. Wow, I didn’t realize how she is soaking up so much at this age. We always have said her memory is better than ours. I promise you that if we tell her something, she doesn’t forget it! I realized it is time to start helping her learn scripture. Our first verse she learned was this:
“A friend loves at all times.” Proverbs 17:17.
Of course her way of saying it is “Friends love you all the time”. I love that. Isn’t it great to have a great friendship, to really value a friend?
I decided to make a little 5×7 print so that I can have it up as a little reminder…
I wanted to share this with you as a printable 5×7 design.

PS – Miss you sweet friends in Birmingham! Enjoyed seeing you this week, Ashley & Jennifer!

Goals: Write it & Claim it!
Here I am just getting a chance to write out my goals for you for 2012. I now have a new perspective on New Year’s Resolutions. I have always been like the typical person, starting off January first like a whirlwind, attempting to accomplish daily what I set out to do. Of course, what I find is that by March, I am given out and discouraged. Maybe I was able to accomplish what I set out to do and I was tired, but more often than not, I wound up discouraged because my hopes of keeping to my resolutions faded a little every day because of distractions that caused me not to be able to check all the items off on the list for the day. Now, with a 2 1/2-year-old in tow, I realize my life needs to be lived differently. Rather than overwhelming myself with a daily checklist of this and that, I have a list of written out goals for the year that I want to accomplish by December 31. After all, as a wife, mother and business owner, I probably would overwhelm myself with what I actually do daily if I saw it all on paper (are you with me on that one!?!). Anyway, back to the point of this post: I have written out my Goals for 2012 or as I like to call it, my “Write It & Claim It List”. It’s a list of all the things I would like to either focus on or accomplish in 2012! During the year, some goals can be added or changed, but it is like a running thought process of where you want to go in 2012. Ok, so here it goes: I’m listing out all of mine below and I will delve into them deeper in upcoming blog posts. Also, keep reading because below, I’ll have a FREE download for a form to help you make your own “Write It & Claim It List”!
Here they go (in no particular order):
- Read at least one book per month
- Blog 3 times per week
- Cherish Family Time
- Write out my goals & set myself up for success
- Teach my daughter to read
- New HollyDays branding identity
- New HollyDays website
- Hire a new additional employee
- Live my own version of success
- Be a “Grace Based Parent”
- Look at a blank piece of paper more rather than the computer… imagine possibilities instead of obstacles
- Don’t let comparison steal my joy
- Send Birthday Cards
- Get published in one magazine
- Get published on at least one website
- Have one day a month of random acts of kindness for my daughter
- Pray & Keep a journal seeing how God answers prayers
- Be a better friend
- Live my life so others see my love for Christ
- Have a dinner at least one time per month… dinner parties here we come!
Ok, so that is what I have so far – all attainable, but not too easy. So here it goes, want to write out your own list and keep it handy so you can refer to it daily/weekly to track your progress. After all, writing it out helps you visualize the outcome! I can’t wait to see what we all can accomplish this year! Click the text below the image to start downloading the PDF printable file.

Good luck and I can’t wait to hear from you about what you have planned to accomplish this year! Set yourself up for success!
An Organized Shelf & Free Download
Not long ago, my Mother-In-Law gave me a kitchen conversion chart she had photocopied for us. I was excited about it because if you ask me now how many cups are in a pint or how many teaspoons in a Tablespoon, etc. I would have to run to my computer to Google it. I started thinking it would be nice to have it on the inside of one of the doors of my cabinets, so I decided to type up what she gave me and make it a smaller laminated version so it would last a long time. {You can find the link below to print your own chart} I have also been getting on an extreme organizing kick, so I decided to organize the cabinet inside, too, so it would all look good. Here’s what I have now: (I attached it to the inside of the cabinet door with 3M removable Command Strips.)

HollyDays Kitchen Conversion Chart
I LOVE my vinyl labels on the sugar, flour, brown sugar, powdered sugar and salt! I bought them from HERE. {Unfortunately, she isn’t taking any orders this summer, but she should resume in the fall} Shelley had an AMAZING pantry makeover shown on her blog, House of Smiths, HERE.
{*I am getting in some vinyl labels soon for some other items and I can’t wait to share pics and how you can purchase them} Since then, I’ve added a hook next to the conversion chart for my super cute measuring spoons from Anthropologie.
Something else I’ve been loving is my organized spices. I had them on a spice rack shelf thing and they always drove us crazy! Every time we would reach for one, three would fall off the shelf. I divided them up alphabetically and put them in three different baskets “a-f”, “g-o” and “p-z”. Now, they are easy to find and easy to put back! I bought the baskets in the bath section at Target. The manilla tags are from Staples.
Have a wonderful day!
Task 1, Task 2, Task 3
Do you ever feel like at the end of the day you have hardly accomplished anything? Sometimes after replying to emails, working on customers’ proofs and custom designs and chasing after a one-year-old, oh and somehow managing to take a shower, dry my hair and put on makeup, the day is over before I really get started. I created this form to help me plan my day. I’m now passing it on to you as a FREE PDF download. It helps you manage your time more effectively by prioritizing your responsibilities each day. If you are like me, you have a to do list, but it always doesn’t get done. This form makes you decide what three things are the most important TODAY. It can of course be something like: “go grocery shopping”, “sweep the floors”, etc., but also don’t forget things like: “read Conner a book” or “go to the park”. Also, you can make make notes on the sheet and make a list of things to do around the house as your day progresses. Hope this helps you as much as it has helped me!

Hope you have a wonderful, organized day!
