Organizing an Intentional and Purpose Filled April

We’re sharing tips and tricks for organizing an intentional and purpose filled April today!

If you’re new to this series, at the beginning of every month I spend time organizing my planner and filling our calendar with ideas that will help us bring more joy and intention to our lives.

Sometimes that means trying a new restaurant, a trip to the farmers market, antiquing or road tripping with our favorite people.

As we prepare our hearts, homes, calendars and menus for a fresh month ahead, I hope you’ll find something that sparks your interest and leads you to beautiful adventures.

There’s nothing like making extra special memories this time of year.

Here’s a Look at Organizing an Intentional and Purpose Filled April…
