Free Printable Easter Pages

by Leave a Comment

It’s been a little over two weeks since I released the Free Printable Stay at Home Journal for Kids. It seems to have gone down a treat with children and adults a like. I have received some really nice feedback. Some have reached out to personally thank me for helping them help their children during such a difficult time. The idea behind the journal wasn’t only to use it as a typical journal but also to serve as a memory keeping journal. Now that it is Easter and we are still seeing these times through I thought it would be nice to include some Free Printable Easter pages so that your children can record how they spent their Easter in 2020 amidst a global pandemic.

An Easter to remember …..

Easter 2020 will definitely be one to remember. It is definitely one that I will not forget. Here in Gibraltar Easter is traditionally spent with family. We eat lots of traditional Gibraltarian food and my mother in law always makes some yummy treats for dessert. This year will be unlike any other. Over 70’s are prohibited to leave their homes by law and we are not allowed to visit family due to social distancing rules….

Free printable Stay at Home Journal for Kids

by 2 Comments

I think it is safe to say that we are all facing a fair amount of uncertainty at the moment. Covid-19 has shaken the world. Many countries are in lockdown or at least practising social distancing. For the first time, all of us are facing challenges that we never thought we would.

The struggles are real.....

A lot of us, myself included, are now juggling working from home and homeschooling. Time outside in open world is limited if not restricted completely and filling up the days with educational activities is somewhat daunting not to mention exhausting.

I know I am not alone when I say my children are struggling with the changes that we have been forced to adapt to. They are missing their routine, their family, their friends and the outdoors.

Positivity and contribution

I have been seeing a lot of positive contributions from individuals, businesses and companies all across the internet. I have been racking my brains to find a way that I can also contribute. Whilst I don't have the skills of the frontline workers who are working tirelessly during these testing times, I do have mad design skills. My specialism is designing memory keeping journals and planners. So, I have done just that.

I have designed a free Stay at Home Journal for kids (and adults if they so wish). Where the world is talking endlessly about Covid-19 this journal avoids it completely. It is a positive journal focused on helping them through this tough time. It also serves as a great memory keeping journal which they can keep and look back on in years to come. There are lots of fun pages included that your children can complete from logging a daily journal entry to making note of the books they have read, movies they have watched and games they have played. Take a look at the graphic below to see some of the pages included.

Mock up Stay at Home Journal

If your children are not yet at an age where they can write in this journal you can complete the journal pages for them and have them help you along the way.

Intent and purpose

The journal can also help you to help your child. The daily journal entry pages are designed to help them express how they are feeling without directly asking them to express their feelings. They have the opportunity to write how they spent their day, make a list of things they are grateful for and share how they are feeling using an emoji chart.

There is no need to log in to the Little Chiqui VIP library to download this freebie. Simply click the download button below. The journal has been designed to be printed duplex on A4 paper. You can also use US letter size paper. A general print guide is also available for you to download. Please note that the grammar in this journal is based on UK English.

Upon clicking the download button please select FILE > SAVE AS then name your Stay at Home Journal and press save. This will save your journal in PDF format ready for you to print.

Please note

Please kindly note: this journal is for personal use only. Commercial use of any kind is strictly prohibited.

Printing and storing the journal

Simply print the journal, hole punch it and store it in a regular binder or folder. If you need additional pages you can simply print duplicates of the pages you need. Each page design is centralised with an ample left and right hand margins to allow for hole punching/binding.

Make this journal something your kids will come to treasure. Have them add other things to the journal such as pictures they have drawn or things they have collected. Protective sleeves are a perfect solution to help store items that can't be easily hole punched.

Finally.....

My contribution is only small but I hope it can help make a difference. Please spread the word and share the love by sharing with your friends and family on facebook and instagram. If you share the journal on social media please use #todaysmomentstomorrowsmemories and tag me using @littlechiquipaperie.

Let's try and make the most of a less than ideal situation. Use your time wisely and make the most of spending time with your loved ones. Most of all, please follow the advice given to you by your government and stay safe.

Much love, Tina

Free April Planner Dashboard

Here comes April! This year is just flying by. I am so excited for April. My brother and his wife are visiting from the UK, it is Easter and my husband and I celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. I have been super busy this month with something very exciting. I will share all later on in the post but for now lets take a look at this months SHEBOSS VIP release – the free April Planner Dashboard.

CONFESSION TIME…..

For the month of April I didn’t use my planner. Not at all. Not once. All the April pages are empty. Blank. I have been so busy that I literally haven’t had time to sit down use my planner. Busy is good though, right? In my case, right here and right now it is. And, with good reason too……..

Free Self Care Planner Insert

by Leave a Comment

Yes, it is that time again. It’s time for March’s second SHEBOSS VIP release. This release is a free Self Care Planner Insert. Self care is either one of those things that you are really good at or not so great at. As a wife, mum to two adventurous boys and business owner I am generally not very good at self care. There always seems to be something more important than myself that needs my attention.

IT’S NOT POSSIBLE TO POUR FROM AN EMPTY CUP…..

This year I have been trying harder to take care of myself more. I have realised that it’s not possible to pour from an empty cup. Self care can mean lots of different things for different people. It may mean taking 30 minutes of your day to find a quiet corner and read. Perhaps it means a little bit of retail therapy or getting your nails done. The thing that really makes me feel good is working out. I also like to read and write….

Free March Planner Dashboard

by Leave a Comment

Oh my! How is it already almost March? Well, you know what that means? Yep, it’s time to release the free March Planner Dashboard. I decided to do the planner dashboard releases a few days before the beginning of the new month to give you time to get them printed. I love this months colour theme. Purple isn’t usually a colour that I like much but it really works with the grey and yellow. What do you think?

ALL ABOUT THE FREE MARCH PLANNER DASHBOARD…..

The free dashboard is available in two sizes – A5 and 7″ x 9.25″ (classic HP size). The inserts form part of a new range of planners that I am in the process of releasing. Each dashboard includes a space for goal setting, self care ideas, monthly focus and important dates and to do’s. …
