dear kindred friend,
Dear kindred friend, Usually at the end of a month, I’ll write a blog post sharing my own thoughts to the current planner’s end of the month reflection question. This month, I’ll still be answering the January 2022 reflection question, but differently. This post will have an update on what happened and why our short […]
I was probably sitting at my beige plastic elementary school desk with the little pencil holder at the top when I first heard the phrase “New Year’s Resolutions.” Ever since then, I’ve wanted to be really good at setting New Year’s resolutions and seeing those fulfilled. I probably wasn’t using that exact language “fulfilling my […]
The fact that 2022 is this weekend is more than a little frightening for me (probably because our wall calendar still says November, oops) and I’m such a planner.

To find more time to rest, to build more time to be (not do), to build sustainability and longevity in the work habits I have. It’s spring cleaning, but with a twist.

Quiz time: Do you know what the Kindred & Co. brand words are? Do you know why we picked those words?
Given this month is the 6 month celebration of Kindred & Co., we’re taking a deeper look at what all the words truly mean for us.
Spring cleaning my closet is something I enjoy doing, but often takes good effort to get into doing. Sometimes I don’t even know where to start or how to begin. And also, I want to do it well and with intention, so whatever I do prepares me better for the upcoming season and creates a rhythm that is replicable for next year. After a several closet clean fails (think sitting on the floor in a mess of clothes and pulling at my hair in frustration), this is what I’ve come up with as spring cleaning with intention:

At the end of every month we write a reflection blog post that correlates with the reflection questions in the Kindred Planner.
