Hi, I’m Annelize — the heart behind Grit and Grace.

I’m a stay-at-home mom of two with a deep love for creating journals, planners, and digital tools that inspire growth and make daily life just a little bit easier. What started as a simple passion for design and organization has grown into a space where creativity meets purpose.

The name Grit and Grace carries a special meaning for me. I believe we all carry these two parts within us:

Grit – the strength, determination, and resilience that keeps us moving forward, no matter how tough life gets.
Grace – the softer side of love, kindness, and compassion — not just for others, but for ourselves too.

Through the products I create, I hope to help you discover your own balance of grit and grace. Whether it’s a journal that helps you reflect, a planner that keeps you organized, or even a simple calendar that makes your days feel more manageable — each design is made with the intention of making a difference in your life, no matter how small.

Alongside the shop, you’ll also find my blog and ebooks, where I share thoughts, tools, and inspiration to encourage you to embrace resilience while also giving yourself permission to rest and grow with kindness.

This is more than a shop — it’s a little corner of the internet where practicality meets positivity. My hope is that every page you fill, every plan you make, and every moment of reflection you have here, helps you connect with the grit and grace within yourself.

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. 💛
