Somewhere between “we really should sort all this out” and “where on earth do we even start” — that’s exactly where the Pushing Up Daisies Full Life Planner & Journal lives.
Whether you're getting your own house in order or helping someone you love do the same, you're in the right place.
This is not a joyless stack of government forms. It's a warm, thorough, beautifully designed guide that walks you — and the people who'll eventually take care of your stuff — through absolutely everything that matters.
Legal documents. Bank accounts. Passwords. Pets. What to do with your body. What to say at your memorial. Even who you don't want there.
Leave a Plan, Not a Mess. That's not just a tagline — it's the difference between the people you love spending their worst days organized and supported, or scrambling through filing cabinets and password guesses at the worst possible moment.
Jennifer Phelps created this Planner from nearly two decades of experience as a Professional Organizer — and from something more personal than that. She's been in the hospital rooms, sat with people she loved as they died, and sometimes served as their medical advocate, speaking for people who had never written down what they wanted.
She knows firsthand what it costs a family when there's no plan — and what it costs the person left trying to honor wishes that were never shared.
- Essential info at a glance, for the moment they need it immediately
- Legal, financial and medical records with step-by-step checklists
- All your contacts, professional and personal
- Pets — their needs, their vets, their rehoming wishes
- Banking, income, credit cards, bills and debts
- Assets, insurance, investments and real estate
- Every device, password, account and digital subscription you own
- Final arrangements: your body, your belongings, your voice
- The Last Word — a space to say what you need to say
- And actual pockets. For the inevitable bits and bobs.
The most useful gift you'll ever give someone you love — including yourself.
If you're the adult child wondering how to start the conversation with your parents, or the family member trying to help get things in order before it's urgent — this is where you start.
Give them the Planner. Start there.
