What’s my favorite business expense I make every year? Happy Planner!!! I ordered my new 2026 planner for those endless task lists, a new pretty notebook, check list filler paper with “you got this” and lots of stickers to add to the massive collection over the past 8 years. I tend to stick to a theme for the year. Looks like beauty, flowers, growth and simple joys are what’s in store for 2026.
My sister-in-law and I fell in love with all of their products years ago shopping at Michael’s to keep our busy personal lives penciled in, professional schedules/tasks organized and of course football season schedules (and the Braves for her) all in one place while making it fun.
We would go hunting for our planners Thanksgiving weekend and pick out a few sticker books. Then we would come home, make hot chocolate and start adding seasonal stickers first because those are our favorites. I remember saying back then, “man I wish I could be in my pjs, drinking hot chocolate, watching Hallmark movies, planning out my week like this all the time.” Well fast forward a few years and that wish came true when I started The Golden Solution.
This is a major key to how I keep sane and on top of everything I juggle every single day. Plus, I channel my inner little Lindsey joyfully using colored pens, pretty stickers and choosing a theme each week. Even though the tradition has changed a little, we still send pictures of the planners we chose for next year.
