Behind The Bright Side Press

Hi! I'm Chelsea, the founder. 

I'm a mom, a graphic designer, a former ski racer, a lover of gummy bears, matcha tea, cozy reading nights, hiking, biking, traveling, wildflowers, and laughing as much as possible. 

Somewhere along the way, I started noticing that the years were flying by WAY too fast. Watching my son grow up, losing my dad, and realizing just how quickly life moves made me want to hold on to more of it.

Sometimes, even after a wonderful, busy year, I'd find myself wondering, Where did all that time go? What did I actually do?

I’ve always loved a good paper planner. But every December, I’d find myself flipping back through the pages, trying to remember all the things I’d done, places I’d been, and good moments I’d experienced. 

My planners were great at helping me plan my days, but they weren’t so great at helping me remember them. And while I've always loved the idea of journaling, I’ve never been able to stick with it.

So I started designing one for myself.

After several versions, lots of tweaking, and countless conversations with friends who were feeling the exact same way, I realized I wasn’t alone. And that’s how The Bright Side Time Capsule Planner came to life.

My hope is that this planner inspires you to notice more, savor the little things, and helps you create a record of your year that you'll love looking back on.

Here’s to making the most of our days and remembering all the good stuff along the way!
