There are a million ways to get organized this fall—at our house, we have a 12-month old school paper calendar, a dry erase calendar, we all use the Cozi Family Organizer app on our phones (Maddox even has it on her iPod), and for my birthday, Graham got me a gift card for Emily Ley's Simplified Planner to help me create a schedule for my blog posts. I loved reading Lorae's organizational recommendation list this week, and the Passion Planner sounds nothing short of inspirational. Plus, it's . . .
Her Heart: A Grief Journey
I remember the exact place I was when Lorae called to tell me about the loss of her older brother, Rory, and the text she sent two years later about the death of her younger brother, Robbie.

This prompted me to run right out and buy a new fall candle, Pumpkin Butter, which is the yummiest scent I've found in a while and is 25% off through the end of the month at Wood Wick.

Company Memo: Becoming Unbusy, Pottery that Pops, and the Big Life Journal
I gotta tell ya', I am loving Lorae's list on the Company Memo this week. The website and movement Becoming Unbusy is really speaking to me during this season of life.
