I’m that friend. The friend that plans everything. From planning trips for a crowd to planning what’s for dinner this week, planning brings me peace.
You can’t plan out your entire life. Trust me, I’ve tried and miserably failed. As the wise John Lennon wrote, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” But, those other “plans” you’re busy making should be worth your while.
Besides, planning itself can be fun. And, if you aren’t convinced yet, hopefully, my blog will make you a planner of the little moments that bring you joy, making them even more special.
I’m passionate about bringing people together around food and new experiences. Planning is the way I show the people I love that I care about them — whether it’s planning a trip to celebrate someone’s birthday or planning a cozy dinner party on a cold winter night.
I’m a writer by trade and started my career with a brief stint as a travel writer. When researching destinations to write about, I was met with blog posts filled with fluff. Even when planning my own travels, I craved a resource that would cut the fluff and give me the straightforward information I needed to plan a great vacation.
When I’m planning a trip, a dinner party, or whipping up a quick last-minute meal, I don’t have time to read a 2,000-word blog post that delves into the writer’s grandmother’s personal connection to mac ‘n’ cheese. (Sorry! Just show me the recipe already!)
So, I’ve set out to build the blog I’d want to read. The blog that gets straight to the point and cuts the fluff. The blog that inspires me to plan something special for the people I love. The blog that makes planning easier and more fun for everyone, even non-planners.
On this blog, you’ll find resources for planning trips, dinner parties, weekday meals, and more.
Let’s get planning!
