Organizing an Intentional and Purpose Filled March

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

If you’re new to this series, at the beginning of every month, I look forward to spending time organizing my planner and filling our calendar with a variety ideas that help us bring more joy to each day.

Sometimes that means trying a new recipe or attending a community event at our local garden club or museum.

Other times that means celebrating holidays, special occasions, and birthdays with family and friends.

Most of us want to be more deliberate with our time but trying to blend family life and work life can be tough.

Especially, if you feel like your days are filled with more “have to’s” than “want to’s.”

So, 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.

Here’s a look at organizing an intentional and purpose filled March.
