Have a bright and beautiful weekend and try drawing with something new. Calligraphy clicked for me when I stole my kids crayons one day. . . #designlife #bright #beautiful #colorful #crayola #draw #sketch

I always put this pressure on myself to write really inspiring quotes to practice my lettering. I forget that you don’t always have to know what to write. It’s so cathartic just to grab some tracing paper and focus on the letters. .

It’s all in your head. Literally. For the days that feel heavy or unproductive, distracted or overwhelming... try putting everything on paper. Think of paper as your external hard drive for your head. When our brain knows we’ve put something down on paper it starts to process other stuff going on up there, because it subconsciously knows that info is safe somewhere else it doesn’t need to take up precious power to try and remember it. ... Give yourself more brain power and get the lists, the worries, the to-do’s, the projects onto paper. Try it! #journaling #paper #pencil #brainpower #embracethechaos #write #journal #productivity #distractions

Just like 2020, this stupid Tuesday headache just won’t go away... nor does my ability to ever know what day of the week it is.

As if kids don’t already have enough things to remember to bring to school every day..... this will no doubt be a weird school year so I’ve created a kids morning mental health checklist. It encourages them to choose a positive word for the day and take deeps breaths as well as a daily packing list.
