Summer Rules + Planning

Why hello!

It's been a while and I've been having an itch to get some ground rules and plans down for my kid's summer vacation (which started when they got out of school on June 1st!) I can't believe that my oldest will be in Second Grade in August and my middle child will be starting Pre-School in September. Ahh! Is it bad that I really look forward to the days when all three of my kids are in school? No, just me? I want to know what you think.

With that, I wanted to share something that I found on Pinterest a while back, but this is my own version of it. I plan to laminate my own copy and the kids can mark the items off with a dry erase markers. Then when the day is over, I can wipe it clean to prepare for the next day. I don't know about you.. but I love checklists. I swear something celebrates in my brain when I get to check something off.. even if its "take a nap" checking that off really helps me feel like I did something that day. lol


My oldest who is high functioning on the Autism spectrum does very well with calendars and schedules. So I know he'll be happy to have this as a reminder of things to do other than video games. I also like the idea of them finding something they can do to help someone in the family. Those moments of sweet, sincere (or maybe not-so-sincere.. lol) service really left an impression on me when I would seldom do these types of things.


You can download the pre-made Summer Rules here or you can download the blank Summer Rules here. I did a blank version, in case you have something that may work better with your kiddos. The blank copy can be edited by you adding text to it in Adobe Acrobat Pro only. This is my first ever editable file I've done. So.. if you have any issues, please feel free to leave a comment below or email me at: beckyflo@ppdesignco.com

Next, I decided to do a Summer Bucketlist printable for my kids. I want to know what they want to do this summer and all of us can consider their wants when planning other summer activities.

My kids really enjoyed coloring and writing on theirs. Well, my oldest two did. My two year old just scribbled on his. I love being a mom to three boys sometimes. They make me laugh.

My main focus this summer is to continue adding cute new things to my Etsy shop, here, fight my stupid cancer, get good scan results later this month or July, and keep my kids alive. What about you? Do you have any thing already planned for your summer?

UPDATE: 2018 / 2019 Activity Day Leader Planner

Hello again!

I've had a handful of people reach out to me asking if I planned on doing a 2018/2018 Activity Day Leader Planner, and the answer is YES!


If you don't have your hands on the complete planner, click here to see if it's something you'd be interested in purchasing. Again, I know this is priced low. As someone who serves in the church as an Activity Day leader, I wanted to create something beautiful and useful, but not break the bank for other sisters who want to serve to the fullest and stay organized in a unique way.

I didn't make a TON of changes, so for those of you who have purchased the 2017 planner and feel 'jipped', I sure hope this post helps!

The only two things different in the planner itself, are the calendar overview and yearly activity overview pages. The calendar overview page has 2018 and 2019 on it, and there's now a 2019 activity overview page. You are more than welcome to download them for free. See the links below the following pictures to download:

Now, there are a few new things I've added to the 2018/2019 planner bundle.
The first one is: Activity Day Invitations. I wanted to make cute invites that you can pass out to your girls in Primary Opening Exercises or mail out. I also thought that these could be great missionary tools, and your Activity Day girls could pass some out to their friends. I made 5 different designs, if you want all 5 patterns, are more than welcome to purchase the whole planner bundle, or purchase them separately here.

I am going to throw a freebie Activity Day invitation here as well for the blush/polka dot design.

The second, and last new addition to the bundle is a Welcome Favor tag. You can purchase it separately here, or click on the link below the picture for free.

And that's all I have for now.. I may or may not be working on a special work book for Activity Day girls. I'm SUPER excited to show you everything when it's all finished. Until then... :)

I am a Child of God: 2018 LDS Primary Theme

Hey there!

I have been so excited to get everything ready for this blog post. It took me a little over a month to get everything put together, but here we are!

I was asked to create a 2018 primary theme bundle to match the 2017-2018 Activity Day planner I designed here. Naturally, I accepted the challenge. This has been the biggest project I've taken on in my entire graphic design 'career'.

Some people say I'm not charging enough. Well, here's the deal: when creating this, I felt so much love for the primary children all over the world. I wanted to create something that would be budget friendly. As being a primary secretary for only a few months, I've come to know some of these printables that I had created for myself and for my other presidency sisters, as very useful tools. I wanted to create something beautiful and make it available to primary leaders country/world wide and not ask them to break the bank. Yes, I still make profit, but knowing that at least someone out there can use these printables and enjoy them, makes my heart full. Does that make any sense? Maybe I should stop typing and just get to the pictures already. I'm sensing rambling. 

In this post, I wanted to share the yellow version end results and a few freebies!
To view the pink version, click here.


Here's the main listing photo I have for the 2018 Primary Bundle. This is the second main listing photo I created for this project. I didn't like how the first version was sloppy and didn't seem to have much thought put into it. I'll admit, it was the last thing I put together out of everything, and I got too excited to have it finished.

So what all do you get in said bundle?

Here's the low-down:

NEW: 2017-2018 LDS Activity Day Leader Planner

Hey everyone!

I want to share something that I'm over-the-moon excited about and that is also near and dear to my heart.  In case you didn't know already, I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and I was recently called (again) to be an Activity Day Leader over the 8-9 year old girls within my ward boundaries. For those of you who don't know what that is - think Jr. Youth Group or Boy Scouts - but on the more spiritual/home making side of it.

Wanting to take my calling further this time, as well as realizing that I am much more effective at life if I write things down, I started the hunt for Activity Day helpers on Pinterest. While I found a handful of things, they weren't quite what I was looking for, so I decided to make something for myself. Thus - my Activity Day Leader planner was born.

Please enjoy my crappy phone pictures. I am not a photographer. One day I'll get there and have beautiful real-life photos
for you to feast your eyes on, but this will have to do for now. 

Over the last two weeks, I have put almost all of my free time into this planner. I loved creating the pages so much, that this won't be the last planner printable you'll see from me. (Think Activity Day work book for the girls, Activity Day activity ideas and printables, Recipe Binder, Meal Planning Binder, Budget Binder) Do you feel the excitement from the endless possibilities?



So... what's in this planner anyway? First off, you can purchase the planner here at my Etsy shop. I wanted to keep it affordable, in hopes of getting a little profit, but mostly wanting to share my love of the design as well as Activity Days with my fellow Activity Day Leader sisters.

If you purchase the planner on Etsy, you will receive three different 8.5" x 11" PDF files:

· Full Color - Front Binder Cover, Binder "Binding" Slip, Back Binder "Gospel Principles" Cover
· Full Color - 17 inside planner pages
· Black & White/Gray Scale - 17 inside planner pages

The inside planner pages included are:

✿ 2017 - 2018 Calendar Year Overview
✿ Faith in God Individual Progress Tracker
✿ Faith in God Group Progress Tracker
✿ All About Me
✿ Activity Birthday Lists (3 pages total)
✿ Class Contact List
✿ Leadership Contact Lists (2 pages total) 
✿ Faith in God Advanced Activity Planner
✿ Faith in God Activity Brainstorming
✿ Activity Attendance Sheet
✿ Activity Days Leader Meeting Agenda
✿ 2017 Year Activity Overview
✿ 2018 Year Activity Overview
✿ Activity Days Budget Sheet

















Thank you so much for reading! I'd love to hear any feedback you may have. If this is received well, stay tuned for something special.
