Ready to plan an intentional & joy-filled holiday season?
Your Intentional Holiday: Heart & Home Planning Guide was created to help you find more peace and joy as you plan for the final months of the year.
Designed to help you think through what matters most to you and your family, this planning guide will help you plan for your entire holiday season, fall through the New Year, from evaluating your exceptions, identifying your priorities, planning through thoughtful traditions, and so much more!
The last four months of the year are my favorite but they are also busy, busy, busy!
From back-to-school activities, apple picking, pumpkin patches, Thanksgiving dinner, Advent countdowns, Christmas parties, holiday traditions, New Year’s Eve….the calendar quickly fills up with more activities than there are days to fill them!
The holiday season can be such a magical time of year but for many, they also bring about stress, anxiety, conflict, and even heartache.
The budget balloons to near exploding with the purchase of gifts, event tickets, groceries for holiday meals, decorations and so much more. Before long we are left spinning and all too quickly the holiday season is over and you are left wondering where did the time go?
We start the season with good intentions, well-laid plans, and ideas but before we can even make a plan, the calendar starts to move faster than we can keep up with.
We desire to be intentional with our families during the holidays; to celebrate well thought out traditions, express our heartfelt gratitude during the season of Thanksgiving, journey through Advent, spend time making cherished memories and, most importantly, celebrate our Savior’s birth.
Instead, we end the season feeling flustered, exhausted, and overwhelmed. All of those plans and intentions remain undone and feelings of guilt take over, not to mention regret as we look at our dwindling bank account.
Does it always have to be like this?
I don’t believe so!
In fact, I believe you can have a thoughtful, peaceful, joy-filled, and intentional holiday season keeping your focus on what truly matters!
What is inside Your Intentional Holiday Planner?

Preparing Your Heart for the Holiday Season
Do the holidays make you anxious? Does family drama and conflict suffocate you? Are you drowning in the weight of expectations placed on you or that carry yourself?
I’ve been there too, believe me!
My personality tends to absorb the negative energy of others and, being the people pleaser I am, I used to easily become the doormat for others.
Not anymore! I’ve learned a few things over the years, the main being it helps to prepare my heart for the holiday season by identifying our family priorities, managing expectations, and understanding what is important to OUR family, not someone else’s.
Included in the Preparing Your Heart for the Holidays section:
- 15 reflective planning pages
- Identifying Your Priorities
- Evaluate Your Personal Mission Statement
- Take a Personal Inventory of what the holidays mean to you & why you celebrate them
- Manage Your Explications

Use these pages to give your soul a breath of fresh air allowing you the freedom to plan a holiday season that matters most to your family and saying NO to activities that don’t matter.
Preparing Your Home for the Holiday Season
After setting out what you think is important for your family during this time of year, it’s time to start planning what that means for your family and home.
This is where the fun begins!
What fall activities are important to you? Will you host Thanksgiving dinner? How will you celebrate Advent? What activities will you commit to? How will you approach simple & intentional gift giving? Does your calendar match your holiday belief statement? Is your holiday budget set?
