Journals for a Fresh Start

Paper plus a plan. My Paper Harbour journals, a blank one for brain dumps, and a goals journal for the year ahead.

This is one of the two journals from my Paper Harbour collab, and honestly it's the one that got me posting consistently. 30 days of prompts so you're never staring at a blank page wondering what to write. If you want a creative habit in 2027, start ...

The second journal from my Paper Harbour collab, and the one I will reach for on hard days and use in our sparked joy posts. A gratitude journal sounds simple until you realize how much it shifts your mood in a week. Keep it by your bed, write one li...

The PEI sisters behind my journals. If you want to see the full lineup beyond what's on Amazon, this is their home base. Small Canadian business, and I'm proud to be working with them this Christmas.

For the brain dumps. Blank, colorful, no pressure, this is where the messy drafts and midnight ideas live. Every planner girl needs a no-rules journal sitting next to the structured one.

Undated so you can start any day you want, and it mixes goals with money tracking, which is exactly my lane. Annual, monthly, weekly layouts all in one book. If 2027 is your getting-it-together year, this is the one.

Thomas Kinkade's Disney art on your wall all year. Pretty enough that you'll actually look at your calendar instead of ignoring it. Disney adults, this is your 2027.

Comes with bonus stickers, which is the whole selling point if you have kids. Or if you're me and stickers are a lifestyle. Mario Kart on the wall, race days circled in red.

For the Pokémon household. My kids would fight over who picks the month, so get one each and save the argument. Clean art, big date boxes.

The underdog pick of the Nintendo calendars, and that's why I love it. Donkey Kong energy for a year where you're done being the side character.

The practical one: 18 months, Canadian holidays included, spiral-bound so it actually lays flat. This is the command-center calendar for the fridge or the office wall.

If you're paying down debt in 2027, tracking it somewhere you can actually see it is half the battle. Free to get, and yes, I use it myself.

My AI backup. I bounce ideas off it, plan content, talk through the chaos. Free app, and it lives on my phone for the 2am brain spirals.

The weight tracker that doesn't make you feel bad about the number. It smooths out the daily ups and downs so you see the actual trend. If the scale usually ruins your morning, try this instead.

A self-care app with a little bird you take care of by taking care of yourself. Sounds silly, works ridiculously well. My habits stick better when there's a tiny bird counting on me.

The budget app for people who've tried budgeting apps and quit. It gives every dollar a job, which is the only system that's ever worked for a brain like mine. If spreadsheets never stuck, give this a real shot.

Mindset for Future You

The books and tools rewiring how I think. The reset starts upstairs first.

The 1% better book. Tiny changes, remarkable results, and the only habit book I actually finished. If you read one mindset book before 2027, make it this one.

Fixed mindset versus growth mindset, and why it changes everything about how you handle failure. As a mom trying to model resilience, this one rewired me. Short chapters, big shifts.
