Familiar with the priorities chart? Consider using it to sort out a busy day. Write down your chores using the chart, and you may be able to figure out what needs to come next.

There are four quadrants -
Top left: important and urgent. Top right: not important, but urgent.
Bottom left: important, but not urgent; bottom right: not important and not urgent.

COVID and my almost nine month old keep me at home, but that hasn't stopped me from hosting online events and discussing tips on how to plan for events.

Knowing how to prioritize To Do items takes practice. Consider my little trick: is your task to be done Right now? Soon (within the next week)? or Later?

I typically label my To Do lists with Rs, Ss and Ls. Try it sometime. It helps me whittle down my To Do list to what I have to get done today!

With the spread of the coronavirus-19 throughout the world, there is a way to remain stress-free. Stay informed, stay home, and act as if you are a germophobe.

If you get cabin fever, call or text your friends. As long as you are all healthy, you may also invite a few people over to your home. (At this time ,no more than 10 people can gather at a time in Travis County.)

If someone tries to get you to panic, tell them to stop. Even the CDC is warning against this practice. Making other people worry is not helpful at this time. It just causes anxiety when the more important thing right now is to stay informed and safe.

If you are planning a wedding or event at this time, please consider dates no earlier than May 11th this year. This will meet Travis County mandates as well.

Stay safe and healthy! If you have any questions for us at this time, please send our business a PM until further notice. Thank you!

If you are just now starting on Austin-area wedding planning and you would like to have more than 100 guests at the event, please wait until May 1st, 2020 to confirm a wedding date with your venue.

Keep safe and healthy this year!

I love fashion and Project Runway, and I am re-watching Season 8, Episode 6. The designers are supposed to revamp ugly bridesmaid dresses. Because, guess what - we agree: a lot of bridesmaid dresses out there are ugly.

For this reason, it is so totally on-trend to just choose the bridesmaid dress color and then to allow for your bridesmaids to choose the style.

Today we helped with a fun baby shower at our church. I had great fun ordering the food, and decorating the room with my friend Leah Lieurance to get it ready! (I am deliberately not tagging our guests of honor, mainly for privacy reasons.)
