In My Planner: Week of May 14 - 20


Good morning, Planner Nerds! Thanks for checking out our blog! Today, I'm going to share my planner with you and my spread from last week! 

My main planner is my vertical Erin Condren Life Planner! This one is the 18-month, but now that I am out of school, I have been considering just switching to the regular 12-month! 

I absolutely fell in love with this cover. It reminded me of a tapestry and I just had to have it!


Last week was super busy! I used our Houseplants Weekly Kit since we had some yard work planned for the weekend! It felt like my to-do lists at work were never-ending last week, but it helped to have fun things to look forward to!


Outside of work, this week kicked off a summer full of adventures with my boyfriend! We went to a Sum 41 concert on Thursday with a friend, which was incredible! I had never been to an alternative rock show before and I loved it!


And we had a wedding to go to on Saturday! A friend and coworker of my boyfriend got married and the ceremony was beautiful. It was held in a nearby nature preserve under an archway of trees. I don't typically like outdoor weddings, but this one was magical. 


What fun things did you get up to this past week?

Welcome to The Novel Coffee



Hi there! Welcome to the blog for The Novel Coffee, a decorative and functional sticker shop on Etsy. The shop has been open for a little over a year now and I couldn't be happier to start sharing this adventure here.

But first, let me introduce myself:


My name is Meghan and I am 24 years old! I'm a graduate from the University of Michigan-Flint with a Bachelor of Arts in English with a specialization in writing. I have always loved to write stories with my friends and lots of fan fiction. Now, I take that love of writing and apply it as the managing editor for a local news-magazine.

I started getting into planning when I was in my sophomore year of college. I had just joined a sorority and my life got a lot busier. Now on top of five classes and work, I had to keep track of fundraisers, social events, and chapter meetings! So I went out and bought my first planner; a teal Blue Sky planner. 

Since then, I've become hooked. Now I use a vertical Erin Condren Life Planner and instead of just writing things down, I have started using stickers and washi tape to really make my planner my own. I find that the more effort I put in to making my planner look nice, the more I want to use it! 

I am really looking forward to using this space to keep track of the new things I try in terms of planning and to keep updates on my shop as it grows! I hope that you guys are looking forward to the journey as well! 

Happy Planning!
