Simple planners and printables
for real life


Welcome to Big Star Press, where real life gets organized—with clarity, intention, and tools that actually work.

Hi, I’m Dawn – middle school librarian by day, planner creator by night, and a lifelong observer of real life in all its busy, meaningful moments.

Big Star Press grew from my love of thoughtful design and practical tools—the kind that help you stay organized without overcomplicating your life.

After three decades of helping students and teachers make sense of information and overwhelm, I now create planners, journals, and resources designed to help women do the same in their everyday lives.

What You’ll Find Here

I create simple paper and digital tools to support real women living full, busy lives.

That includes:

  • Planners and printables to help you stay organized day to day
  • Journals and prompts to help you reflect and reset
  • Budget and tracking tools to bring clarity to your finances
  • Thoughtful resources for meaningful moments and milestones

Everything is designed to be easy to use, practical, and encouraging—so you can stay organized in a way that works for you

Who This Is For

Big Star Press is for women who:

  • Want to feel more organized without feeling overwhelmed
  • Appreciate simple tools that actually fit into real life
  • Are working toward goals, balance, and meaningful progress
  • Value clarity, structure, and a sense of intention in their days

Whether you’re managing a busy schedule, working toward personal goals, or just trying to keep life a little more organized—this space is for you.

The Story Behind Big Star Press


After 30 years in education—and raising two now-grown sons—I’ve learned that life doesn’t always go as planned. But it does feel more manageable with the right tools, a clear plan, and a little flexibility.

Big Star Press started as a creative outlet and has grown into a collection of planners and resources designed to help women organize their lives, focus on what matters, and move forward with confidence.

As I continue to build this business, I’m also creating something that can grow with me—a flexible, creative path that allows me to keep learning, creating, and exploring new opportunities along the way.
