Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week- Week 5 in 2025

Hi hiiiiii! We are on week 5! We had a pretty chill weekend. I went on a long walk my friend Caley, cleaned house, got to square one with laundry, had a playdate with my friend Lisa and hosted Self-Check-In yesterday to map out my Intentions for the Week. Casey worked on re-caulking the kitchen sink this weekend so I didn’t get to meal prep. I’ll probably piece mail it together in evenings this week.

This week I am hosting a journal night Show & Tell this Friday for paid Substack subscribers.
Here are the details.

Bring your currently workbook. I wanna see what you’re working on this year and I’ll show you all of mine to help inspire you to keep on track.

Here are my Intentions for the Week!

Currently Workbook 2024

Hi there! 👋 If you’ve noticed fewer recipes here on Shutterbean over the past year, it’s because I’ve been channeling my creative energy into growing The Handwriting Club on Substack and expanding my YouTube channel (I made timelapse videos of all of my spreads!). Over the past year, I’ve been sharing the pages from my Currently Workbook on Substack instead of here. I wrote a post about my Currently Workbook 2024 if you wanna see more inside (including my self-portrait pages).

Here are my spreads/posts for the past year. Click the month and you’ll see more!

Intentions for the Week- Week 4 in 2025

Hi hiiiiii! We are on week 4! Cooper has today off of school so we are going to take it easy around here. This weekend I went for a long walk, cleaned the house, worked on our yard, and hosted Self-Check-In yesterday to map out my Intentions for the Week.

I have more Currently Workbooks in my shop if you want to join me this year!

I also have a digital version of the workbook that you can fill in.

My Everyday Life Week 3

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 3

This week I blew up my dining room table and processed 2024!

I shared my Currently Workbook for 2024 on my Substack this week.

I like to give myself the whole month of January to process the past year and ease into the new one. Rushing the process is not my thing! It takes time!

Hopefully by the end of this week, I’ll have a clear table.

I also did my first legit meal prep this year!
