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 šŸ˜‚ – 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 šŸ˜‚ I’ll try again tomorrow when everyone is out of the house!

Plan With Me for 1/28-2/3

admin

This weekā€™s “Before The Pen” in all three places šŸ˜‚ Technically itā€™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 donā€™t feel so constrained! My Chic Sparrow travelers notebook goes everywhere with me in my purse for on-the-go planning and notes/journaling! Iā€™ve decided I really need to buckle down and use some of these sticker kits Iā€™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. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

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

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. Ā It’s called impulse shopping, it’s good for the soul.

PS- Use coupon code B4A5 for $5 your FIRST Boho Berry Purchase!!! Ā <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. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

I donā€™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. šŸ˜‚

Giveaway!!!!

Total Planner Nerd Post!!

admin

I LOVE planning. I love everything about it. From the feeling organized (even if you’re not, it’s a great feeling to have!) to the decorating with washi, stickers, and whatnot, to the gorgeous options for leather Travelers notebooks, and so on and so forth.

I also love the planner subscription boxes. The little surprise “gift” to myself in my mailbox each month is my little guilty “mom” pleasure. I’ve really had to downsize my subscriptions because if you know me then you know my “Go BIG or go home” mentality in allthethings but I got my last monthly box from Lauren Phelps Designs and I wanted to share it because it really is gorgeous!

I’m going to apologize now for the crappy lighting, but the kids are finally asleep and this is the time I have to myself, so I deal with whatever lighting I have on hand. šŸ˜‰

I really love her designs, and I fell in love with her artwork for her October kit (I’m a total freak for pumpkins!) and decided to order a few boxes! Ā This is the January kit for 2019 and it has all kinds of goodies from washi, to stickers, to gorgeous papers that I’ll use for scrapbooking and whatnot.

I’ll admit I haven’t figured out the sequins yet. Ā Eventually I’m going to make shaker dashboards out of them, and I even bought ALLTHETHINGS to make shaker dashboards, but alas, laziness consumes me sometimes… (or maybe it’s just motherhood…. either way, I’m tired.)

One of these posts I’ll share some “Plan With Me” videos, but I’m waiting for my little iPhone tripod to come in so I can be all official-like, and so you can’t really see my face (because no one really wants that), and so my nervously shaking hands won’t make you motion sick. Ā Because that could totally happen.

Also, isn’t it ironic that I couldn’t even fill up a day on a planner when I was working full time, yet now that I’m the stay-at-home mom of two that planner is jammed? Ā Funny how that works…. LOL!
