You probably know how much I adore Ms. Stewart. Everything she does is just so good. My favorite page in Martha Stewart Living has always been Martha’s Calendar. On any given Thursday, while I’m watching YouTube videos babies dancing to Beyonce, Martha might be pruning the perennials or gently reminding her neighbors to test the batteries on their smoke detectors. Her months are well-planned and thoughtful and I find this level of order to be immensely calming.
Welp, it turns out that soothing balm is available on the world wide web. And if you’re feeling especially inspired, you can customize each month to help with your own planning in various categories (Homekeeping, Chanukah, Halloween, Gardening. Yes, really). This might seem excessive, but when you’re a girl on the go (or, presently, on the sofa) sometimes you need some extra direction. Who knows? This calendar might just mean you get a present this year. On time. Or that my plants don’t die. Again.
Here’s a helpful hint: Overcook a scallop or two every now and again and you’ll be sure to know whether or not your smoke detector’s working. That’s how I roll, Martha.

Also On Tap for Today:
- Take Clark to have his picture taken for our building’s “Community Calendar.” I think this might warrant reporting back. I have no idea what I’m in for.
- Figure out a way to secretly listen to the BC vs. Notre Dame game tomorrow, while at an all-day work event.
How do you stay on top of your day-to-day? Do you have an extra helpful hint to share?
