A Little Planning, a Lot of Coffee, and Just Enough Whiskey​

Welcome to Follow My Arrow—the home of messy mom wins, imperfect plans, and printables that might just save your sanity.

I’m a Michigan-based mom of two, lifelong homebody, iced coffee devotee, and yes… I keep a bottle of whiskey on standby for the nights when bedtime turns into a three-act drama. 🍿🥃

I started Follow My Arrow in 2016 to share the little things I was creating for my kids—printables, craft ideas, meal shortcuts—and it quickly became a place where other moms could find resources, real talk, and a reminder that you’re doing better than you think.

These days, you’ll find a mix of helpful freebies, digital products, behind-the-scenes glimpses into mom life, and a whole lot of love for flexible planning. I’m also the creator of the Sketch Planning Method, a block-style system that’s saved my brain (and calendar) more times than I can count. If you’ve ever felt personally victimized by traditional planners, you are my people.

Here’s a peek into my daily rhythm:

  • Recharge Ritual: Binge-watching a favorite show—bonus if there’s popcorn and a quiet pour of whiskey

  • Planning Style: Flexible frameworks over rigid time slots (stickers stress me out 😅)

  • Morning Drink: Iced caramel macchiato—decaf, but don’t judge

  • Mom Hack: Pre-packed activity bins = 15 minutes of magic

  • Sunday Must: Sketch Planning my week with pen, paper, and peace

  • Productivity Tip: Work when your brain works best—even if that means 9 p.m. in pajamas

  • Mantra: “Done is better than perfect.”

  • Business Bestie: My sister Samantha—we balance each other like coffee and whiskey

Oh, and I also cohost the She’s Got It Together podcast with Sam (currently on pause because… life). It’s all about real motherhood, messy days, and figuring it out as we go.

Thanks for being here—whether you came for a printable, a planning tip, or just needed someone to say “same,” you’re in the right place.
