One of my favourite moments OF THE ENTIRE YEAR is cracking open a brand-new planner.
The possibilities!
The blank space! (Especially lovely to this minimalist introvert.)
The Fresh Planner Enthusiasm! All those new habits to establish! All those exciting plans to make!
Everything feels clean and open and full of potential.
Lucky for me, the time has come to start planning for 2027!
To help YOU get a head start, I’ve teamed up with Heather from Sprouted Planners for another fantastic 2027 Sprouted Planner giveaway.
This Friday (November 14th, oh the irony) TWO LUCKY readers will win a 2027 Sprouted Planner!
I adore my Sprouted Planner. I’ve been using the Weekly version for years, and it’s practically an extension of my body.
When we travelled around Europe—with nothing but four small carry-on suitcases and a backpack apiece—my planner came along for the adventure.
At home, you’ll find it on the dining room table. Or my dresser. Or inside my purse. Or on my desk.
Basically, wherever I go, my planner goes.
(People have asked what I do with my planners at the end of the year. I recycle them! It might be interesting to have a written record of my life, but that’s what a blog is for.)
And now I get to share the planner I love with TWO of you! (Heather generously gifted me a planner to keep and TWO to give away to you lovely readers!)
GIVEAWAY #1: CANADA + EUROPE
I’ll be shipping a brand-new 2027 Sprouted Planner to one lucky reader in Canada or Europe.
The winner gets to choose between two gorgeous covers:
MORNING BLOOM


OR…
MOONLIT DOTS


And here’s the fun part.
Whichever planner you choose, I’ll be using the other one in 2027!
Just think of the power you wield over my planner aesthetic for an entire year.
(Really, I just couldn’t decide. Polka dots are my favourite pattern, but I also love a bold floral print. I’m outsourcing this very important decision to one of you.)
GIVEAWAY #2: UNITED STATES
For my American readers, Heather is generously providing a second planner!
The winner will coordinate directly with Heather and get to choose their favourite cover from the available options.
HOW TO ENTER
Two planners. Two winners. Two chances to make 2027 a little more organized!
If you’d like to be entered to win a Sprouted Planner (either to use yourself or to gift to someone else), leave a comment below with:
- Your location: Canada, Europe, or the United States.
- Virtual bonus points—that will have no bearing on your likelihood of success—if you tell me your favourite cover (Morning Bloom or Moonlit Dots).
That’s it! You’re entered!
Entries close at 5 pm AST on Thursday, November 12. I’ll randomly select two winners and announce them in my Happy Things Friday post on November 13.
Winners will be contacted by email using the address associated with their entry comment.
Good luck, friends! Here’s to fresh pages, big possibilities, and all the wonderful things 2027 might hold.
*Note: If you’ve never commented on a post before, your comment will have to be approved by me before it will show up!

I also couldn’t resist sharing a few favourite photos of my planners in action over the years.

I love the Sprouted Planners! I’m in the US, and I love morning bloom.
You’ve definitely gotten me intrigued by the Sprouted Planner in the past, so I am definitely throwing my hat into the ring to for the giveaway. So awesome you’ll be giving away not one, but two planners.
I am in the US, and I am partial to the Moonlit Dot design. So simple and elegant!
I am in the U.S and I love the polka dot design.
