Blank 90 Day Habit Tracker

This free printable habit tracker helps you track your progress on 5 goals for 90 days. Handlettered, minimal design makes it pretty enough to have on your fridge!

90 day printable habit tracker (free download!)

I’m going to start this post off by saying I LOVE when you guys reach out with post ideas or specific requests. Every once in a while I get the same requests from multiple people and this is one of those! This fall I participated in #thelast90days challenge put on by Rachel Hollis and I made a tracker to encourage me on my progress. I wish I could tell you I blacked this thing out but that’s not the case- ha!

I’ve made this one really generic. Enough boxes for you to track 90 days starting at anytime of the year and for 5 different goals. Whatever those are. Some of the suggestions that came in with this request was practising speaking spanish, bible reading, taking your vitamins… it could be whatever you want!

Free downloadable accessibility SVG files for cut with Cricut or Silhouette- from wheelchair parking stickers to disability doorbell notes.

6 Free Accessibility SVGs

Today I’m excited to join up with a few of my blogging friends to share some free accessibility SVG files! These ladies are all seriously amazing online and in person so when Alicia asked if we would be up for putting together some accessibility themed cut files that are more fun and playful than the ones that are currently being offered for families with disabilities- it was a big yes.

6 Free Accessibility SVGs- these hand lettered designs are so cute!

I created 6 hand lettered files for various applications or needs and have put them all in a zip file for free download for personal use. Here’s the 6 phrases I’ve put in there:

Kitchen Organization Ideas

Come organize with me! I’m sharing all my kitchen organization ideas for under the sink, kitchen linens, pantry organization and our cleaning cupboard!

kitchen organization ideas for under the sink, kitchen linens, the pantry and the cleaning cupboard

Today I’m so excited to give my kitchen a good ol’ declutter and organize in partnership with the ladies from our Modern Handmade Home series and Kitchen Stuff Plus. It’s just in time for their Organization Event which is going on right now (with tons of great sales!). We did this last January as well and it feels so darn good to start the year off with an organized kitchen. I actually have gone in and decluttered and organized every single cupboard in my kitchen this month but for the sake of post / video length… I’m just sharing a few of them today!

In this post, I’m sharing how I organized my under sink cupboard, our kitchen linens, my cleaning cupboard (in my kitchen) and one of my pantry cupboards. I know everyone uses their kitchen differently and I had a ton of comments about that when I shared our kitchen reveal just over a year ago. With no upper cabinets where the heck do you store your mugs? What about your toaster? Microwave? Why is your broom in your kitchen? I get it. So consider these organization ideas not rules.

Doubt Kills More Dreams / January Tech Wallpaper

It’s time for your January handlettered Background! In beautiful quote (doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will), calendar, and monthly script versions for your phone, ipad and computer!

free tech wallpapers for all your devices (mock ups showing the 3 versions for each)

I quietly stopped putting out tech wallpapers at the end of last year and had a few comments and emails about it, but just couldn’t pull it together to get them done with the holiday rush. I mentioned it in my weekly email last week and had an OVERWHELMING response that you guys want to see these each month. So I’ve put some time in and meet your January 2020 tech wallpaper!

This quote is such a great reminder as so many of us are setting goals for the year and dreaming about where this year (and the next ones!) will take us: Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. I’m currently reading ‘You are a badass’ by Jen Sincero and while it took me a bit to get into it (it was pretty out there at the start- ha!), I’ve really been digging into it. She talks about how if we think we won’t achieve our goals or dreams… we aren’t going to. I’ve been trying to change my mindset around the things I dream for- I’ve always talked myself down and been the voice of reason for myself. But why not believe in yourself?

If you’re new to Lemon Thistle, every month, I create free handlettered tech backgrounds for you to download. I make each a quote version, a calendar version, and a monthly script version in each desktop, phone, and tablet sizes. You can take your pick! I also create a free printable 8×10 version of the quote for my e-mail friends. If you’re not yet signed up for my list, you can get in on the updates and freebies right here!

free printables each month- love these hand lettered quotes!

Alright, enough with the pep talk, give me the goods! I got you- just click the linked words below to download the ones you’d like.

6 Free Printable Bachelor Bingo!

6 Free Printable Bachelor Bingo cards for your viewing party! All for Pilot Pete’s season.

Bachelor bingo printable

Another week, another bingo! I got so many DMs asking if I was going to make Bachelor Bingo cards for every week/episode this season and honestly… probably not. I’ve got 4 young kids and we’re renovating and I blog… BUT I do love my Bachelor more with bingo so I’ve made this one pretty generic so it should be good for a couple weeks. Then I’ll make another when this one doesn’t ‘fit’ any more! So just deal out different cards next week and your good to go.

For reference- if you’re not reading this in real time, this was made for week 2 of Peter’s season. Things like ‘airplane dates’ and ‘jumping hug’ and ‘loud kissing’ are on this. And yeah, I’m pretty sure those will happen next week too! Ha!

CLICK HERE TO GET YOUR FREE BACHELOR BINGO CARDS!

To use these, just download the file above, double click to ‘unzip’ and then print each of the 5 (or as many as you need) off! Then be sure to share your Bachelor viewing party with me on IG! @colleenpastoor :)
