A list of cool calendars and cute planners to get inspired (and organized) in the new year. Truly so many good ones!
Typically, at the start of each new year (or the end of the current one), I get an urge to plan, plan, plan for the upcoming year. Daydreaming about what I hope to accomplish, alongside practical brainstorming that’s maybe a little more realistic.
In case you get a similar urge to what I described, I put together a list of cute and cool 2026 calendars and planners, just in case.

Shortbread bars with a berry good twist! The combination of flavors is too tasty to resist.
These mixed berry oat bars have a sweet, buttery shortbread crust, that’s then filled with a tangy berry sauce. Making it ideal for both breakfast and dessert, especially this time of year.
You can use any combination of berries you like to create the gooey, jammy center. And when paired with the most irresistible oat shortbread crust, these bars are a must-try recipe. Plus, they make great edible gifts this xmas as well.

Cool gifts for parents and in-laws, that they’ll actually love! Separated into his, hers, and joint gift ideas.
Gifts for parents and in-laws is probably one of the toughest gift guide to create.
Because your (or at least my) parents and in-laws often say they ‘don’t need or want anything’. How are you supposed to buy something special for someone like that?
Well, I don’t know exactly, BUT I thought for a really long time about it and came up with the best gift ideas I could find. I also included some presents that I’ve actually bought for either my parents or in-laws before.
Hope this list will be helpful for you.

Brownies that taste so good, no one will even know there’s sweet potato mixed in. It’s a sweet potato brownies recipe!
If you’ve ever had sweet potato brownies before, you already know that they tend to hit that perfect balance of indulgent and better-for-you (at least for a brownie). They’re rich enough to satisfy a chocolate craving, but made with simple, everyday ingredients that feel nourishing.
But my favorite things about these homemade brownies is that they’re an easy way to use up sweet potatoes you might have leftover from Thanksgiving. Give them a try and see for yourself.
