Freebie Friday Food and Fitness Starter Pages!

Posted on January 24, 2020 by Helen

This is my first Freebie Friday since being active in my blogging again after losing my husband four months ago. I really want to get my “new normal” established on a good footing, so I’m sharing part of the Food and Fitness Planner I recently designed and put up in my Etsy shop. I’m sharing four pages from it to help you get a good start at a healthy lifestyle effort in 2020.

I have my son and I eating much healthier trying to lose weight. I’m down the lowest I’ve been in many years, but I still have plenty to lose and this is a brand new chapter. I’m extra motivated right now because my 16-year old son (autistic/non-verbal) is at his highest weight which is about 80 pounds higher than he needs to be. I want to be a good example and nip his weight issue in the bud this year while he’s still young.

I hope you will join me!

If you like the freebie, I have a 49-page Food and Fitness planner in my Etsy shop. I have three versions available. Click on the thumbnail below to check out the listing!

I recently posted a financial planner for 2020 too!

January through June

July through December

Food and Fitness Planner New in My Etsy Shop

Posted on January 22, 2020 by Helen

Another chapter of weight loss has begun for me; this time with my son. I had to take him to the doctor the day after Christmas for a sinus infection and was not happy with the weight on the scale for him. I’d lost about 20 pounds during the cancer treatments and death of my husband, and Evan seemed to have found it.

I used to weigh about 180 pounds more than I do now, but still have weight to lose. Now that I need to try to get some weight off my son, we’re going to tackle it together. I’m doing well so far (down 10 pounds since January 5th). Not sure yet about him because when I put him on my scale (a digital one) he moves around too much for it to get a reading. It just says “E”. But he’s eating pretty much what I am at home, so I think he’s doing well. He’s starting to reach for apples and carrot sticks instead of the chips he devoured before. Now with my husband gone, I’m the last line of defense for my son and I need to set a good example for him and also make sure I’m going to be around to care for him as long as possible (he has autism and is non-verbal).

To that end, I’ve just created a printable food and fitness planner for myself and wanted to offer it for you as well here in my Etsy shop. This one is black and white. You can find other colors (uploading momentarily)This is a digital download, there will be no physical product shipped to you. The benefit of this is you can print out just the pages you need and you can print them over and over again!It’s 37 pages of charts and logs to keep track of your food and fitness goals, logs, and progress. (You’ll be printing out the same pages multiple times in some instances for daily plans, charts, etc.)

This one is black and white but you can find a rose pattern here and a geometric pattern here! (sample image at bottom)

Here is what’s inside! —>

2020 Financial Planner Printable with a Freebie

Posted on January 15, 2020 by Helen

Brand new in my Etsy shop is a 2020 Financial Planner I just put together!

(Check out my Food and Fitness planner here too!)

Actually I made it for myself and a few people in my Facebook group asked if I was selling it and I decided to polish it up a bit and add it to my Etsy shop. I’ve been wanting to get more offerings in there anyway. In addition, if you do decide to purchase it, just know that you are helping my son and I with bills and groceries as we await my husband’s social security income decision (for my new readers, he passed away in September…) Things are really tight at the moment and you would be helping me to build my online business and provide for my son and I in my husband’s absense.

If you’d like a freebie page of it, click HERE

If you would like to purchase the whole thing, it’s in two parts (due to Etsy size restrictions) at the following links:

January through June, 2020

July through December, 2020

Here are thumbnail images of what’s inside. I’m giving you a thumbnail view which has a watermark on it. The original is created at 300 dpi for nice clear printing and does not have the watermark on it. When you see the images created for January, every month has a matching page for it.

Check out my Etsy shop for this planner and other printable items

Thank you for your consideration!

I usually print these out on 28 pound white paper (or 32 pound paper is even better) and just stick them right into my planner or journal. The heavier the paper, the less chance it will tear out of your binder or planner by accident and helps resist bleeding or ghosting from your pens or markers. It helps the page turn easier too.

Worried about ink-heavy pages? Do like I did and enlist in the HP Instant Ink program! I’ve saved so much money on ink since I did a year and a half ago. They have different plans, but the one I’m in (the most pages) is that I can print up to 300 pages worth of ink for just over $9.99 per month. You can choose lesser pages for a lower rate, but I do a lot of printing between coupons, planner stickers and other things. Click on the image here to check it out! –>

Freebie Friday -Cut Files and PNGs for TV Show Planner Stickers 2018 2019

Posted on September 2, 2018 by Helen

I meant to get this posted yesterday, but the past few days have been really busy! I’ve heard frow a handful of you who are enjoying these, and that makes it worth the work for me 🙂 As I said last week, I sized them to fit the classic Happy Planner and the Erin Condren planner.

There are SO many TV shows now that it would take forever to vet them, so I have no idea of the content of many of these. So I ask you to please use your own discretion in using them according to your own values and know if there is something very unGodly in them, I haven’t vetted them so don’t email me complaining if there is something not so worthy. Having said that, shows I know for sure to be ones that someone following Jesus should not be promoting I did exclude (Lucifer, Supernatural, etc.), so this is in no way a total list. It IS very thorough list though, I have to say! 🙂 I put a lot of work into it for sure! 🙂

My hope in creating these is that those of us who grew up in the TV generation and beyond can choose a handful of our favorite shows and plan for them, so that we aren’t just sitting in front of the screen mindlessly lost in the fog of information being thrown at us. Choose your favorites and schedule watching them into your day, be it when it’s first aired or (like me) from your DVR.

I first made these last year and didn’t use them as much as I thought I would because I got in the habit of just watching whatever showed up on the DVR. But now my hope is to do the advice I just gave you and choose a handful of shows and include them into my planner. I can see ahead of time what shows will be on the next day that I want to watch and schedule the amount of time they will play into my day the next day so I watch just those and be a better steward of my time. That’s where these stickers and my planner come in 🙂

This week I am posting the cut files for the Silhouette cutting machine, and the png file for Cricut machines and digital planners. (I also included the blackout png for those who want that). This will be a graphic-heavy post, so please be patient for it to load 🙂 I’d love to see how you use these! Remember these are for personal use only! I am not selling these because I don’t own the license to the various graphics, so please, personal use only.

For just the PDF versions, you can pick those up on my blog posts the past few week HERE and HERE

These are in alphabetical order BUT there are several at the end where the alphabet starts over again (some additional stickers I added in later)

I’m posting a thumbnail image to what each file contains. It leads to a zip file that will take you to where you download it for use. Just click on the image you’d like!

Freebie Friday -Christmas Nativity Planner Printables

Posted on November 10, 2017 by Helen

I’ve shared three Thanksgiving freebie planner printables already, so its time for Christmas! Yay! I won’t decorate my house for Christmas till Thanksgiving Day evening (because I love Christmas so much I don’t want to get tired of it before the season really starts) but I will make planner items for Christmas. Plans are often made well ahead of time, and especially Christmas plans, right? 🙂

This week I am focusing on the true reason for Christmas -Christ! And you Christian Michigan State Fans (like my niece, Crissy) should like these too 🙂 (I’m an Ohio State alumni though…GO BUCKEYES! woot woot! bwahahaha)

These are sized for the brand new Happy Planner classic, so if you use the new Happy Planners, you’re all set to go.

Print these out on full-size sticker paper. I use these here. They’re priced great and you can write on them easily. They are good enough quality for my needs. If you want a top-quality sticker paper look for these or clear ones here. (Though not all pens or markers will write well on the clear ones). If you don’t want to use sticker paper, you can print them on card stock or regular printer paper and glue them down. Honestly, the sticker paper is the best way, however. Regardless of the type.

If you’d like this printable, click on the image below to pull up the full-sized PDF file for printing. If you use this kit, I would LOVE to see how you use it! Please comment below so I can see ?

Please remember this is for PERSONAL USE ONLY!

Going through a lot of ink printing out planner stickers? Do like I did and enlist in the HP Instant Ink program! I’ve saved so much money on ink since I did a year and a half ago. They have different plans, but the one I’m in (the most pages) is that I can print up to 300 pages worth of ink for just over $9.99 per month.

“Creative You” Planner Stickers and Stamps at Walmart

Posted on November 7, 2017 by Helen

I’ve been telling my Facebook group that I would make a flip-through video of the new “Creative You” planner/journaling products available at Walmart. I finally did the video today!

The price on this line is great! Each sticker pack I reviewed in the video below was less than $3. (I think the stamp set was around the same price, but don’t remember for sure).

Please overlook my lightly issue in this video. The best lighting in our house is in the kitchen by the sliding glass door and my husband and son were home, so not the best time to shoot a video in the kitchen. I did this in my craft room with the normal lighting and an Ott-Lite that’s great for working on crafts and sewing up close, but not so great for shooting videos 🙂

If you want to see just a close-up of the stickers and stamps with less chat, fast forward to the 19:25 mark.

Also, please give me a thumbs up and consider subscribing to my channel. I’m pretty new to my own channel on YouTube and am improving all the time. Enjoy! —>

Freebie Friday Thanksgiving Planner Printables

Posted on October 27, 2017 by Helen

Hi everyone! Forgive my blog for being down the past few weeks. When I posted my last Freebie Friday so many people visited to snag it, that it crashed the site! lol A good problem for a blogger to have, but getting the correction taken care of was longer than expected. I upgraded my blog host to a business account so I’ll have a server all to myself instead of sharing it with other blogs. So, we should be good to go now! (My CalvaryCouponers site is still down – still waiting for my blog host to get the problem fixed).

So, to make up for missing a week of Freebie Friday, I’m sharing a two-page set! I hope you take advantage of them and let me see your creations you come up with using them!

These are sized for the brand new Happy Planner classic, so if you use the new Happy Planners, you’re all set to go.

If you’d like this printable, click on the image below to pull up the full-sized PDF file for printing. If you use this kit, I would LOVE to see how you use it! Please comment below so I can see ?

Freebie Friday – Printable Planner Stickers Thanksgiving 2017 1

Posted on October 6, 2017 by Helen

(Note: If you get an error message, keep trying. I’m contacting my web host first thing tomorrow! 🙂 It will come back up, but if a lot of people try to access it at once, it may temporarily crash. I’m going to update the bandwidth tomorrow, hopefully.)

Since I’ve recently done two Harvest/October style sticker sets, I thought I’d get started on Thanksgiving with this freebie. (I may update this post with links if I add to this set in my Etsy shop here.)

Sorry this example image is poorly lit. The day got away from me and I didn’t get the picture taken when the natural daylight was still prominent today. I’ll try to improve that next week 🙂

This is sized for the brand new Happy Planner classic, so you’re all set to go. I realized after buying a new Happy Planner for 2018 that I was still making stickers with a length of 2.25 inches and they are now 2.50 inches, so from here out, they will be the new size.

If you’d like this printable, click on the image below to pull up the full-sized PDF file for printing. If you use this kit, I would LOVE to see how you use it! Please comment below so I can see ?

Please remember this is for PERSONAL USE ONLY!
