Happy Planner Spread of the Week: Hello, SUMMER!


Summer is really summering here in Saudi Arabia. Stepping outside in the afternoon honestly feels like opening the oven door - and staying in front of it! The heat stings, the glare is blinding, and it’s so overwhelming it shuts down any ability to even complain. Really!





So instead of sulking about the scorching sun, I decided to bring cooler vibes into my planner with a fun and cheerful SUMMER spread. If I can’t escape the heat, I might as well make the most of the season with some stickers, right?



This week’s theme is all about embracing sunshine and good feelings (even if it’s from the safety of my air-conditioned home—thank you, freshly cleaned and fixed AC units + free utilities!). I went with bold letters and wrote “Ang init.” Because… it really is. Just stating facts here. But to balance that, I added a “Sunshine and good feelings” sentiment sticker to bring in the positivity.



 



For the decor, I wanted something bright and fun, so I spelled out SUMMER in cute and colorful letters. I even drew a little string and turned tab stickers into buntings for a festive touch. All the stickers I used are from Echo Park’s Summertime Sticker Book (which I love because they’re cardstock stickers!) and Happy Planner’s Summertime sticker book.




And just like that, it’s already the second week of July! Can you believe we’re now closer to 2026 than we are to the beginning of 2025? Time is flying! That also means…


  • My birthday is less than a month away
  • I get to see my family in less than a month
  • Our August vacation is almost here!


Yay, yay, yay!


Hope you’re finding little joys this season too—even if it’s just staying cool indoors and making pretty planner pages.

    Summer the season for basking in the warmth of the sun but if temperature reaches 41-43 degrees oh my that’s really HOT so just stay in you air conditioned room than risk dehydration. Your summer planner rocks and its as HOT as the season. Enjoy your summer. - aMOMymous

10 Years Married: From 8AM Vows to Riyadh City Lights

I t feels like just yesterday when we said  I do  at 8AM — and I still remember thinking,  Why didn’t we make it 9 instead? Haha. But here we are, a decade into marriage, 14 years together, and living this unexpected chapter of our lives in Saudi Arabia. Watch our SDE here !💙 Currently, we’re based in  Al Ahsa , one of the oldest provinces in Saudi. For those unfamiliar, think of it as the  probinsya  version of Saudi — calm, rich in heritage, and definitely far from the city buzz. So for our 10th anniversary, we decided to shake (yesss - shake! lol) things up a bit and drive to  Riyadh , the capital. Imagine two  probinsyanas  from some quiet part of the Philippines heading to Manila — that was the vibe. The Road to Riyadh My favorite road sign! haha! We left Al Ahsa around 10AM and arrived in Riyadh a little past 1PM. (Yes, that’s 3+ hours on the road!) With check-in at the  Four Seasons Hotel  only starting at 4PM —  4PM, c...

All the Cricut MEA Prizes I’ve Won (So Far!)

I still remember the first time I joined Cricut MEA’s Ramadan Challenges back in March 2024. I was so excited to take part daily — crafting along with the community for almost 25 days straight — until I was told that Saudi Arabia couldn’t join. 😢 Fast forward to December 2024, and everything changed! Cricut MEA officially opened up the challenges to Saudi residents — and I didn’t waste a second. I jumped right into their Christmas Countdown Challenges, and from then on, I’ve joined every single challenge they’ve hosted. December 2024 January 2025 February 2025 March 2025 And now… LOOK AT THIS LOOT! 😍 Watch my unboxing reel here. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Cricut and Monster Middle East for organizing such fun and inspiring events. My crafty heart is full, and my shelves… well, they might be full too. 😅 And of course, none of this would be possible without my husband, who has been 100% supportive of all my crafty adventures from day one. ❤️️ Stay tuned — I’ll be sharing more of w...

Happy Cutie-versary, Kelly Bangs!

Can you believe it’s been  five whole years  of Cutie craftiness?! Kelly Bangs is celebrating her 5th Cutie-versary, and as the Design Squad is joining in on the fun!   To mark the occasion, I made a mini album using a mix of some of my favorite Cutie-versary elements — like the adorable Cutie Pie trophies, Florals Greatest Hits (for florals are forever a fave!), The Shape Parade (tags and squares), Mini Guest Checks, and those sweet Scout Friends. It’s a cheerful little project that made me smile from start to finish… even with a  tiny  hiccup. Here’s the funny part: I finished decorating all the inside pages first — each one carefully layered with a piece from The Shape Parade (square) then I went ahead and glued the cover on  upside down.  😅 So now all the pages (especially the ones with the letters and number print) are technically flipped. But honestly? That’s one of the things I love most about crafting — the little mistakes that turn into happ...
