So, my 2024 started with a layoff. The same week, my editor hooked me up with a dream job — or so I thought. Six months later, I was laid off again due to several financial and management issues at what turned out to be a very toxic work environment! Until last weekend, I was up to my neck in wedding planning, too!
Since my second layoff, I’ve found plenty of 👻 job posts, rejections, and more. I’ve been hit up left and right to try out and review products, but not all these are relevant or useful for my new household! I turn down items I can’t write about, as writing for free won’t pay my bills. And it feels unethical to readers and merchants alike to review an item I can’t truly use.
That said, when Everything Branding reached out about the Big A## Calendar, I had to say yes! Six months of wedding planning and job hunting taught me the value of a visual reminder for all my digital tasks and appointments.
In my neurodivergent household, seeing what needs to be done almost guarantees the task’s completion (for me and my hubby)! Chore charts, keeping up with family birthdays, monthly finance check-ins, and more will be much easier to track now. Plus, as I continue to dive headfirst into marriage and affiliate blogging, I need help staying on top of it all!
Here’s To Saying “Yes!” to More In 2025!
If you’re like me — taking client calls the week before your wedding — you need the Big A## as you start planning for 2025.

It’s super durable and flexible, with dimensions of four feet (48”) wide and three feet (36”) high. This board is perfect for planning the entire year and comes with color-coded adhesive labels, fine-point dry-erase Expo pens, and conveniently highlighted weekends. It’s great for managing your goals, deadlines, vacation plans, and fitness goals so you can do more of what you love! For folks all about the aesthetic, the calendar comes in four colors: pink, blue, beige, and grey.
Calendar creator Jesse Itzler, NYT best-selling author and father of four, includes detailed onboarding and guidance in a short video. Visual learners can absorb his simple yet effective system for planning life ahead of work.
Say goodbye to flipping through your old calendar and say hello to a Big A## Year as we wind down the next few months.
