Since Easter fell in March this year, I didn't worry about finding a "March" printable for our living room, but I went with the Easter theme instead. The colors worked so well with our living room and I loved, loved, loved the Christian theme behind it!
Coffee Bar Signs
This pin gave me the inspiration to have little signs for everything on our coffee and ice cream bars at our reception. I loved the decorative factor! I asked my friend Angi to make cutouts for me on her Cricut, and then I wrote the details on them at the reception!
Coffee Bar Flavorings
This pin gave me the idea to have different flavoring bottles and whipped cream as part of our coffee bar at the reception. We ended up having hazelnut, caramel, and vanilla flavorings for people to add to their coffee concoction!
Hot Chocolate on the Coffee Bar
I've HEARD...there are people who don't like coffee???? :) So this pin inspired me to add hot chocolate to the coffee bar for those who prefer that. And there may have been some who preferred a little of both! And that's okay too!
Ice Cream Toppings
I needed some inspiration for how to display the toppings for the ice cream bar...and this did the trick! I borrowed a bunch of small bowls from a lady we interviewed on Mid-Morning last year and had a blast putting together the topping combos!
Blog Planning Pages
I'm finding there is no perfect prefab day planner, so I tried my hand at combining my own pieces. Found this free printable to plan blogs. Obviously I'm very constant in blogging (doing it daily) but this will help me be more planned in it. {I've found that since getting married, it's hard to find chunks of time to sit and blog without taking time away from Ryan. He's so understanding about my blog and doesn't mind when I need to take some time to do it - but I still think this will help.}
Meal Planning Pages
Also in my new binder, I wanted something to help us plan meals, as that has been a challenge since we got married. This helps me keep track of who might be eating out which meal of which day {thus showing who actually needs food from home} and gives me an idea of what's on the menu at home each week. I love the shopping list on the side, and the fact that I can just pull this page out of the day planner and take it into the store with me!
Daily Planner Page
I wanted to try a daily planner page to see if that would help me NOT forget things throughout the day. I love the customized daily planner page from this link - gives me a chance to see my meal plan at a glance, financial tasks, household tasks, personal tasks, work projects, phone calls and emails that need to be made and a morning/afternoon/evening plan - with room leftover for notes!! :)
Weekly Planner Page
I wanted a weekly planner page to sort of see everything at a glance - for Ryan, for me, for both of us - and this lets me do that! I love its boldness and the two big boxes on the right for notes!! I color coded this in red, blue, and black to see what is mine, his, and ours as far as appointments go.
Monthly Planner Page
I always want a monthly planner page to keep track of what's what at a month-glance. I found this very cute and colorful monthly planner, so I printed it for my binder too!
Mason Jar Picture Frames
I loosely used this idea for our reception. I saw pins that said to use water and some said to use olive oil. I didn't want to mess with laminating or ruining pictures - or buying lids for borrowed jars, for that matter - so I just put sand in the bottom of the jars to secure the photos {and create a beach look} and put two pictures back to back inside. The jars became frames and we put them down the center of the tables at our reception! Here is an example of ours:
St. Patty's Day Love Notes
Y'all, I love the Dating Divas website. Lynne and I interviewed a couple of the divas a while back on Mid-Morning and I love what they stand for. They have a passion to keep romance in marriage, and they make it easy by offering great ideas...and this is one of them. Six love notes - free to print. While I'm not really a St. Patrick's day girl {I wear green to avoid getting pinched and that's about it} I figured any excuse to spoil Ryan was worth it! So I took the 30 seconds to print this sheet and cut them apart - and then I hid them around here and there...in his bathroom, his car, etc. Fun way to remind him I love him!
More St. Patty's Day Love
Another quick thing I did for Ryan on St. Patty's day - printed out this free printable that gave me 10 blanks to list reasons why I love him. NOT HARD to figure out! I filled it in, hid it in his Bible, and loved seeing his face as he read the things I love!
Another Easter Printable
Although I had the other printable up in the living room the whole month, I found this one online and wanted to use it on Easter weekend. Love the words and the layout of it.
Vacation Planning Pages
I wanted to find some pages to help me for future vacation planning prep, so I found these! The only thing I don't like about them is that they're personalized to the family of the lady who made them! But I can scratch those names out and use ours instead. I like it that the planner has a way to keep track of hotel and flight reservations, confirmations for activities, notes, packing lists, and checklists.

w.h.a.t.????
I'm not a coffee girl either, gasp! But I do love hot chocolate, and I think it was super sweet of you to include it at your reception :)
LOL!! Well we did it just for people like you! (And kids who are banned from coffee.)
