Christmas Gifts for the Now What People on your List

Are you, or do you have a super planner like me on your Christmas List???
I've come up with a few gifts that are perfect for the crazy planner on your list!


The Day Designer Planner

Do you have someone on your list that needs a little organizational help? Or someone who just loves writing lists and ummm planning?! This is the best gift! It comes in two sizes and a variety of colors. I'm obsessed. Want it? Click here!


Scented Lavender Candle




















I love candles. I might have a candle addiction??? This lavender candle smells amazing and will help anyone relax during the hectic holiday season. I love the Mrs. Meyer's brand. HomeGoods also has a great selection! Want it? Click here!


Yoga Classes













 I try to take a yoga class at least once a week. A class pack of classes is the perfect gift for anyone who needs to slow their mind after a long day at work. It's also a great way to stay flexible! This is not only a great gift for a friend, but for yourself too!


Massage Gift Certificate
 














I've never met someone who doesn't love a good massage! This is a great gift for workaholics who need 30 or more minutes without the ability to check their phone ;)


Remember, the holidays are a time to celebrate and be with the ones you love. Don't stress too much over gifts. The best gifts come from the heart.

After the Wedding

We've been married for almost three months now.
Since the wedding was across the country from where we currently live, (we live in New Jersey - the wedding was in Oregon, where I grew up) we needed more time. We planned the wedding for almost a year and half. Since I LOVE planning and I'm pretty darn good at it, the process wasn't too bad and the wedding week was just fantastic.

But now... We're married. And I find myself asking now what? Now what? Now What?! What do we need to plan or do? Should we start planning to have baby? Isn't that what people do? What are we supposed to do now???
Then, after the craziness inside my brain subsides a little bit, I think - enjoy being married!
You're married! That's so great!!!

Does any one else have these feelings? Now that you're married what are you supposed do next???
How can we stop thinking - what's next???? - and just enjoy today?

I've started taking yoga classes again to try and calm my ever-running brain.

We need to remember to just sloooow down and enjoy what's in front of us.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I am so very thankful for my friends, family and husband! And of course our dog and cat! :)

Why Blog? Why Now?

Why am I trying this again?
I don't really know. I feel as though I need somewhere to write and connect with other like-minded individuals. I've also tried to find a blog out there that I can really connect with. One that I'm like - yeah... I totally agree, I'm going through the exact same thing! I'm also pretty tired of all the blogs and Instagram accounts out there spouting perfect lives through touched-up and enhanced photos (you won't see that here). No one has a perfect life. NO ONE. I promise. :)

So here I am. Trying this whole blog thing again.
I started a blog about four years ago when I signed up for my first marathon. But I felt like I should only write about running. And I'm more than just a runner. So I haven't blogged for about two years now...

Soooo. Here's this new blog I just started TODAY! November 25th, 2015.

Wondering about the name?
Well, I have this problem of always planning - asking, what's next? What can I do or plan? What can I look forward to next?! But here's me just realizing - like, literally this week - that I need to stop and enjoy the here and now. This special moment, this day, this hour - this second.
STOP PLANNING CATIE!
So here I am. Writing about it. Stopping the Now What? problem I have and many people have... I can't be the only one? Right!?
