Emily's blog

We are celebrating the 12th year of Simplified this week, and I am over here in a little corner of gratitude. If I could show the younger, overwhelmed Emily a glimpse of what her dream would turn into, she wouldn’t believe me. The need for a more minimal structure that came from a stressed-out new mama on the living room floor has turned into such a supportive community of women from all backgrounds in every season.

Team Simplified is honored to create products that help all women enhance a more simplified life. We strive to design white space that truly inspires to live simply, love deeply, and make space for the slow, simple, and good. 

In celebration of the past twelve years, and as a thank you to each and every one of you, (almost) EVERYTHING in our shop will be 30% off starting tomorrow, July 2, through Saturday, July 4! We don't have sales often, so this is the perfect time for you to stock up on gifts to use throughout the year or to treat yourself to something special. In no particular order, here are ten of my favorite products that will be included in the sale this week: 

1. Signature Simplified Planner (Sale Price: Daily, $42; Weekly, $35): This planner is so close to my heart and will always and forever be my favorite product that we make. From July 2 - July 4, the Daily SP will be $42 and the Weekly SP will be $35. Get yours on sale while you can! 
2. Baby Books (Sale Price: $44): I made these when my twins were born as a simple way to document their most precious moments. I didn't have the time or energy it took to make an elaborate scrapbook and wanted to be able to add pages and customize it as I went. These will always be so special to me! 
3. Citrus Notepad Square (Sale Price: $13): These are fresh off the Design Squad vision board, and the whole team is in love with them. We text weekly saying how happy we are with the prettiest block of paper on our desks. From scribbled thoughts and lists to sweet notes, this notepad is a new must-have! 
4. Simplified Recipe Binder (Sale Price: $26): This is perfect for housing your family favorite recipes printed straight from the computer or hand written and passed down. I love the added flexibility that the binder concept allows. It will be under $30 during the sale! I love to give these as shower or housewarming gifts.  
5. Teacher Planner (Sale Price: $44): Can we take a minute to give ALL the teachers a standing ovation? Y’all are one of a kind, and I am so thankful for the work you do. If you’re a teacher, treat yourself to the most organized school year yet in Navy Happy Dot. If you’re a friend of a teacher or parent of a student, show them how much we appreciate them! And once again, thank you. 
6. Dry Erase Magnets (Sale Price: Monthly Magnets, $12; Small Magnets, $9): I'm a big believer in keeping lists and calendars out where you see them often. These make such a great addition to any kitchen or office space. 
7. The Good Life Art Print (Sale Price: $14): With a simple frame and a thoughtful note, you can help turn any house into a home! I like having the collection on hand for ready gifts. Some friends just need a doorstep surprise every once in a while. 
8. Wedding Planner (Sale Price: $49): Is it appropriate to renew my vows so I can use this beauty? The Simplified Wedding Planner makes me fall in love with design all over again – its elegance and class makes simple feel fancy. We want every bride’s wedding season to be as exciting and stress-free as possible. It’s the best engagement gift. 
9. Kelly Green Simplified Journal (Sale Price: $23): From gratitude entries to brain dumps to prayers, this journal is a safe space for listening to what you have to say. I keep mine on my nightstand to remind me to write a few words before bed. Check in on your heart with the Simplified Journal! 
10. Mini Notebooks (Sale Price: $7): If you can't decide on your favorite Simplified Planner cover, pick up one of these to go along with it. They come in all six cover options and are the perfect companion to your Simplified Planner.
