August 2022 Plan With Me – Loose Floral Wreaths

Here’s the theme for August 2022’s Plan With Me: Loose florals in a wreath with even more loose watercolor. Plus, add floral stickers for ease and speed up the process.

Isn’t it crazy that during the times that we probably need planning and tracking the most, we neglect it? At least I do. Knowing that I use my bullet journal planner better when I include some ‘pretty’ elements, I decided to revert to an old favorite style.

August 2022’s Plan With Me Features:

This month’s plan with me features loose florals, looser watercolor paint, and stickers! I don’t normally use stickers, but they fit perfectly with the theme this month.

What a busy few months it’s been. We moved at the end of March and turned our lives upside down. Honestly, I’ve been striving so hard to return to a ‘normal-like’ state of being. I haven’t adequately kept track of my life since we started packing. Can I tell you that I am excited for the kids to go back to school? I’m partly glad the kids will be out of my hair (and out of their siblings!), but I’m excited about the daily routine.

If you’d rather browse through the gallery of images at your own pace, check out the gallery post. If you’d like to find out what inspired me for this month’s plan with me, read on.

Doodles – A Perfect Way to Get Out of a Funk

I included a few doodles this month in my planner. Partially to get me excited to use my planner again. (I use it so much better when I like the design.) Do you have something you know you need to do to bring yourself out of a funk? For me, it’s doodling. 

Doodling flowers is easy – at least when I have a guide. I’m not the point of thinking about flowers and drawing from memory or thin air. So I usually need some inspiration. Check out the links below for posts on how to draw flowers or how to use flower doodles in your bullet journal.

Pages in My Planner This Month

August 2022 Plan With Me – Individual Pages

Welcome Page

I drew one of my classic floral wreaths sprinkled with dark reds, a few yellows, and deep greenery – which I think are perfect colors for the end of summer and a nod to the fall colors to come.

Monthly Calendar

Using one of my favorite stencils, I created 2.5cm square boxes and scattered loose florals around the page, consisting of poppies, black-eyed susans (only I colored them blue instead of yellow), marigolds, and vines. By the way, if you’d like to add some fun, random holidays to your calendar, check out these August Random Holidays.

Habit Tracker

Aided by one of my all-time favorite tools – the Helix Circle Maker, I created a circular habit tracker with 4 habits and a few lilacs peeking around the habit tracker.

Brain Dump – Dubbed “Blooming Thoughts”

One of my favorite ways to disguise my brain dump page is to call it by a different name.  I call this month “Blooming Thoughts,” highlighted by a faux calligraphy title and mason jar with carnations.

Check out these brain dump-related posts:

Weekly Pages

Each page has the same design, which is my go-to weekly design. The planner layout is 4 cm (8 dots) wide and a good height to allow plenty of daily to-dos and appointments. Plus enough space at the bottom for weekly items such as meal plans, shopping lists, or weekly-related to-dos. Rather than drawing wreaths, I used floral wreath stickers from my shop.

Journal Page

I love a page where I can jot down funny quotes from my kids or essential things that happen during the month. This page is enjoyable because I used paint splatters all over the page in different, bright colors to finish it off.

Let’s Go!

In the words of my 13-year-old: Let’s GOOOOO! I look forward to getting my life back onto a regular schedule. I look forward to using my bullet journal planner to help organize my thoughts, calendar, and life.

I’d love to hear what inspired you this month or if you have a favorite page from my notebook. Happy planning!

About Me


Hi! I'm Tricia, the creative behind ChocolateMusings.com, I know how it feels to lose your inner muse. After years of darkness (which I call the dark ages of my life), I found my inner muse hiding in the forgotten corners of my soul, I vowed never to lose sight of her again.

Bullet journaling helped reignite the passion for art and living life again while organizing my days. I also discovered modern calligraphy and watercolor. Since then, my use of the bullet journal system has evlolved and I call it 'creative planning'. Here on the blog, I show you how to use your planner to ignite your inner muse and explore creativity and art while staying beautifully organized and living a joyful life.

I invite you to grab some good chocolate and dive into my musings. Let’s ignite your inner muse.
