jet lag + house tour + may calendar

I know it is supposed to be Hawaii Week around here … and I truly have great intentions of making it that …

but I’m afraid I overlooked one teensy, tiny detail of traveling

jet lag + time zone changes.

Ugh.

The Pacific Northwest is only three hours ahead of Hawaii time and we’re struggling to make up the time difference. I can’t imagine what it is like for the couples we met from Delaware and Chicago!

So instead of doing a trip recap right now, I think I’ll go crawl into bed. Tomorrow seems like a great day for a recap.

I do want to mention that I am hanging out atAshley’s fabulous blog giving a little house tour today.

If you do not already read The Handmade Home, it’s a good one. Be sure to click around and say hello to the darling Ashley while you’re there.

Since this is the first day of May and I know how crazy this time of year can get, please feel free to download the JDC|Monthly May calendar.  It’s pretty, practical and best of all, free!

So enjoy your Tuesday and I’ll be back tomorrow with highlights and favorites from our Maui vacation.

hello, May

Isn’t May a great month? It feels fresh and bright … and it is the month of Mother’s Day and the birthdays of my mom and mother-in-law, aunt and two nieces. Lots of ladies to love in the month of May.

Each month, I create a new set of papergoods to use as organization, inspiration and gift-giving for JDC | monthly.  It is always a fun challenge to come up with something seasonal, without being too obvious; something pretty, but still universal; and always something a bit unique.  This month’s collection may be my very favorite of all with the curly calligraphy and watercolored flowers.  Feminine, whimsical and perfect for May.

Included in the May Collection is {from left to right}:

note cards . shopping list . houseduties chart . weekly calendar . monthly calendar . bordered paper . scripture memory cards . dinnertime calendar . do not worry art print . chore chart . mailing labels . grocery list

Each month, we also do a simple project. This time around, we’re making May Day paper cones.

What neighbor would not be delighted to receive this sweet gift on their door on May 1st?!

When you become a JDC | Monthly member, you will receive a new collection of printable paper goods on the 22nd of each month {so you have plenty time to get yourself organized before the new month begins}.  You can print as many of each item as you need – many of the items included make great gifts, too.

rain rain go away

Spring in the Pacific Northwest is notorious for its unpredictability and split personality. One minute its pouring – usually when we’re headed out the door – and the next it is bright and sunny.  But the good news is, spring means the birds are out chirping again, little buds are forming on our trees and shrubs and daffodils are poking their yellow heads out of the ground. These things make me happy.  So do bright spring clothes {not so much the new neon trend, though}, colorful raincoats and playfully patterned umbrellas.

I was inspired by all of this in the new April installment of JDC | monthly.

pot of gold {march JDC | Monthly}

Every month I get to create a new set of organization and seasonal paper goods for JDC | Monthly members. To have the chance to just dream up any design without any hindrances is one of my favorite parts about this job.

I know March is supposed to be all about four leaf clovers and leprechauns, but I decided to focus more on the pot-of-gold part and go with cheerful yellow.

I need cheerful this time of year … perhaps you do too.

So here is what the March collection is all about:

All of these items are printable files so you can print as many as you need, send a few to friends, use as gifts or save for a later date.

Included for March is {from left to right}: monthly calendar, hello note cards, weekly calendar, dinner time schedule, sunshine art print, grocery list, chore chart, house duties and mailing labels.

Each month, I also create a simple project with printable files.  This month, we’re making labels for organizing our pantries {or using as favor tags or gift toppers … your choice}.

I tried to get my little Mason to join me in the video and help with the project, but instead he made silly faces and hole punched his dollar bill and then was sad because he didn’t really want a hole in his prized dollar bill … oh, the life of a four-year-old. Needless to say, he did not make the final cut. But I did do a short video to show how to create the labels and even share a cheater method for laminating tags without a laminator. Good stuff.

share the love

There is something so sweet about taking a day {or month, really!} to celebrate something as wonderful as love.

Valentine’s Day is commercial … yes, I agree … but it is special, too.

It gives us an excuse to bake a cherry pie

 to serve our kids pink milk and pie crust cookies for an after school snack

to sip hot cocoa with heart-shaped marshmallows out of a dainty teacups

and indulge in frosting covered cupcakes.

It encourages us to send our loved ones handwritten notes

and deliver prettily packaged treats to our friends.

I like that Valentine’s Day has turned February into the month of sharing the love.

I was inspired by Valentine’s Day when creating the JDC | monthly february collection.

It is full of red, pink, whimsical flowers and fancy writing.

And is available now.

To receive these printable goodies, and new ones each month, you are invited to join JDC | monthly. It is just $7.99 per month {your first month is free!}.
