New Unboxings!!

admin

I decided to entertain myself and my 5 year old with some surprise craft boxes from one of my favorite stores, Little Craft Place in Houston (Spring), TX! WOW y’all, were we ever surprised! SO… MUCH… FUN… STUFF! Run, don’t walk, over to that website and get you one – so worth it and so much fun! What a bright spot in our kind of crappy, stuck at home day! She has boxes for adults, and also has boxes made up for girls 4-6yrs, boys 4-6yrs, girls 7&up, and boys 7&up!

First unboxing was Tatum’s. She’s five and LOVES crafts! We didn’t get to open these until later in the evening so she didn’t get to participate in her unboxing video, but she can’t WAIT to start crafting with all this tomorrow, and I even bribed her to go to bed with it. LOL!

And after she went to bed, I unboxed mine! WOW, I swear Eunice must be the world champion at package Tetris because this box is PACKED (I mean, they both were, but wow!) with goodies!

Needless to say, I’ve already jumped on and ordered both of us second boxes. Ha ha ha!! Hope this helps give you some great crafting ideas for both you and your little ones during this social distancing! So happy to see small business thinking **inside** the surprise box, and what a wonderful way to market your business and all the wonderful things you offer once you’re able to safely get out and about! <3

Just updated the Stuff I Love page on the website!  Some really fun new things, so be sure to check them out!

What kind of stuff do YOU love??  I love learning about new STUFF so be sure to comment and let me know!!

STUFF I LOVE!!!!

I’m a pretty pen addict!

A lot of people have asked what I am using to display my planner pens – I have both the 36″ version and the 24″ version of these awesome ledge shelves! Really easy to install and they hold the pens well boxed. I haven’t tried them unboxed but I’d think they’d do ok considering there’s a ledge at the bottom!
 
Here’s the exact shelves I have on amazon!  I really love the way they look in my “happy space” (aka, my desk LOL)

Buckets of Lists

admin

Been working on getting my shit together lately and so far so good. Next on my list? Another list! I’ve been wanting to put this to paper for a while, but I really need to get my bucket list out of my head and somewhere where I see it more often. Somewhere where it will remind me to plan to actually DO items on that list.

I know I want to visit the last eight US states remaining that I haven’t been to. I want to visit Ireland and Scotland. There’s a lot of other “wants” circling around in there that I just need to finalize. Not all of them are difficult to attain, and as much as I hate the term…. YOLO (you only live once for those of you who are also not millennials) 😉

So you tell me…. what’s on YOUR bucket list? I always love hearing people’s big plans for the path of their lives. Let’s hear yours!!!

Baby Makeover!

admin

This dude got a LONG overdue haircut today, and while it was kind of like wrestling a guinea pig on steroids, we managed to get it done! I didn’t realize how long it had actually gotten until I did the side by side. He looks like a mushroom on the left. 😂

In other “I’m an amazing mom and wife” news, I tried out this Cuban Chicken, Rice, and Black Bean Bowl recipe this evening from Half-baked Harvest. I’d seen a recipe of hers that a friend tried and started following her blog. This one was yummy AND healthy, and everyone (except the kids of course *sigh*) seemed to really enjoy it!

And in planning news, check out this awesome states tracker I got from Caffeine Queens on Etsy! I only have 8 states left to check off my bucket list and I’ll have been to all 50! I think Wade and I should start just planning some long weekend trips and get those crossed off, don’t you?

Tomorrow I have an awesome memory keeping video to share with you… if I can figure out how to rotate it 90 degrees before I post it. 🤦‍♀️😂

Just a little bit of everything

admin

It’s been a long, overrun by four year old attitude kind of day so I’m not in the best mood now but it was fairly productive.

Took Tatum to Home Goods to get a journal she wanted. Had to take it away five minutes later because she wouldn’t listen. Gave it back to her at lunch, got taken away again by 4:30. *sigh*

It’s always amazing to me that she can remember the exact location she had an ice cream cone 6 months ago when we pass it, but she can’t remember something I told her 25 seconds ago.

I can hear my parents laughing from here…

So while we took a breather from one another for a bit I worked on a “motivational board” for my craft room I’ve been wanting to do with this vintage frame I got. Got it all done, super proud of myself, stepped back, looked up to admire it…

…it’s crooked.

So now my “motivational board” is becoming more and more demotivating every time I look at it. #OCDproblems – I did manage to straighten it as much as I could which helped a ton, but I guess this is the first exercise in learning to be ok with being “Perfectly Imperfect”.

The kids were even more difficult after nap, so I just let them run amuck in the house with Biscuit (the original Biscuit!!) and tried to get through cooking dinner without losing my cool. I’m happy to say that I got there, but it wasn’t the most pretty thing ever.

Once we finally got everyone to bed I worked on another project I’ve been putting off: my Memory Keeping. This was on my list of resolutions for 2019 and I failed on day two 😂 – I spent some time thinking about how I might could make it easier to keep up with and I decided to start doing just “A page/photo a day” in these standard size booklets from Cocoa Daisy and my HP Sprocket Photo Printer. Of course I had to start back on January 2, because I’m lame, but I made it through Jan 11 tonight and I’m hoping to do 10 more tomorrow and Thursday until I’m caught up! Since they’re small pages and I’m just making little notes/captions about the day instead of journaling a whole bunch of blabber, it’s going a lot quicker and it’s a lot more enjoyable/fun to do!

I went to film a video for y’all on the first 1/3 of January I had finished, but then Wade walked in and embarrassed me so I quit filming 😂 I’ll try again tomorrow when everyone is out of the house!

Plan With Me for 1/28-2/3

admin

This week’s “Before The Pen” in all three places 😂 Technically it’s two since the insert and Bujo are both in my Chic Sparrow Deluxe Claire Outlander! Yellow Paper House is my desk planner, love the combo of weekly and dot grid, I don’t feel so constrained! My Chic Sparrow travelers notebook goes everywhere with me in my purse for on-the-go planning and notes/journaling! I’ve decided I really need to buckle down and use some of these sticker kits I’ve been hoarding so I busted out a few adorable ones from Pink Limeade Designs – loving them both. The bullet journal spread is flamingos, because, well, why the hell not. 😂😂😂

MOM POST coming next for those of you who could care less about my planner!! 😂😂

What What???

Not just ONE unboxing but TWO?

While I was waiting for my voice to clear up a bit to try this video thing out I ended up getting my Simply Gilded sub box in the mail today too, so I made that my (rather lame) debut into the video world before I hit the Boho Berry Box! LOL!

Forwarning – It is obviously going to take some trial and error before I figure out this whole tripod thing, and I don’t have the fancy manicured nails that all these “professional un-boxers” have so you’re going to have to bear with me and all my unpolished glory!

So that went poorly, but I didn’t let that stop me, I just went straight into my Boho Berry Box Unboxing, which I was totally excited about since this is my FIRST box from them and I literally subscribed on a whim without having any idea about what came inside apart from some planner goodies.  It’s called impulse shopping, it’s good for the soul.

PS- Use coupon code B4A5 for $5 your FIRST Boho Berry Purchase!!!  <3

Baby? What baby?

admin

Wyatt has started a new thing where he runs as fast as his chubby little legs will take him into another room yet when you come in to get him literally 2 seconds behind he’s nowhere to be found.

He likes to hide now. 😂😂

I don’t see any baby?

It’s hilarious but it also freaked me out because the first time he did it was behind the French door in our bedroom and I literally had no idea where he was for a couple seconds while I frantically searched the room. I was all “wtf? He JUST came in here?!?”

I’ve also been working on my BuJo tonight trying to get it going for the year. For you non-Planner nerds that’s a “Bullet Journal” – a really fun and creative way to stay organized and on task (and really just another reason for me to buy more stuff lol).

I’m especially loving the “Shark Week” tracker, but don’t let that gross you out, fellas, it’s just a fact of life.

Everyone but hubby in the house has caught Baby Wyatt’s “man cold” so there’s really not much interesting stuff coming out of this house to post about so I guess I’ll end it here, but make SURE you enter the giveaway before it ends on the @MindYourBiscuitsTX Instagram for the Leather Quill travelers notebook and I’ll also leave this pic of the “original Biscuit” or as we like to call her “#NerdDog” right here for your enjoyment. 😂
