Let’s talk about the power of carrying a notebook.
Hi! I’m Stephanie. On the blog, I talk about motherhood, finding wellness, journaling and planning strategies, and teaching reading and writing to kids. When I am not writing or doodling in a notebook, you can find me cooking up a new recipe from Pinterest and enjoying a fresh cup of coffee.
