It’s been very quiet around here. At first we were dealing with our clients, trying to help folks postpone and handle the realities of COVID. Then, quite frankly, we as individuals had to deal with the realities of COVID and how that was going to change our lives. I won’t speak for our entire team, but I thought I’d do a quick update for you all - real and honest as we always are here! - to let you know what’s going on at The Plannery

It’s crazy as we near the year-with-COVID mark to look back and remember how quickly things changed. But the biggest issue on our end was that my daughters’ daycare shut down for quite a while, so within an instant, I was a stay-at-home Mom. And with no new weddings in sight, that quickly became my full time job. Then, as my oldest daughter’s first year of school came up this Fall, we knew I’d need to be around to help her with virtual kindergarten, and still be available to be with our youngest as well. And finally, after virtual kindergarten really didn’t work for us as a family - I’ve transitioned to something I never, ever imaged for myself: a stay at home homeschooling Mom.

What does that mean for the future of The Plannery? Honesty? I’m not sure. Rebecca and Tarra are still taking on clients and we’re definitely open for business for ALL types of clients from full planning to month-of. But my role has had to transition into one of business owner and operator, but not official wedding planner. It may be it stays that way for quite some time as the future of child care and schooling remains unclear for my girls. But I promise that I remain involved and committed to our clients and especially my awesome team.

So here’s to vaccines, future weddings, and embracing the insanity, life-changing stuff that gets thrown at you. Everyone I know has handled it so well and with such grace. But I’m sorry if any balls have been dropped and apologize for being so quiet as I focus on my kiddos. We’re here and have our fingers crossed for some awesome celebrations in 2021!!!!
