Memory Keeping (or if you just really love photo stickers!)
For those of you who have the HP Sprocket photo printer, Amazon has a really good deal going right now for 1/2 off the paper packs! $5 per package – make it yours!!!
I LOVE my sprocket, and use it constantly for my memory keeping at whatnot, super easy, just peel and stick those bad boys into your spreads!
Someone slap me already…
Sometimes I get all crazy and decide to go full blown “Pinterest Mom”… this usually results in stupid consequences like spending $60 on stickers and die cuts and blank cards and envelopes so I can make cute little handmade Valentine’s Day cards for my kids classmates.
Cards that I spend hours making even though I’ve procrastinated until close to the last minute because lazy mom overpowers Pinterest mom and I have to talk myself into doing it.
Cards that I then realize these kids don’t give a crap about and will end up going straight in the trash in favor of some sort of candy.
I just wasted 3.5 hours of my life I’ll never get back, y’all….
🙂 🤦♀️😂
Baby Makeover!
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
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
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
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
The results are in and the WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER for the gorgeous #LeatherQuill is @fit_fur_fun !!! Congratulations!!!! DM me to claim your prize!!
Thanks everyone for entering, we’ll have another fun giveaway next week so stick around!
I was going to do an unboxing video of my very first @boho.berry box tonight but I’m currently in the midst of bronchitis and I think I’d sound like an angry frog so I’ll hold off on that until tomorrow!

Total Planner Nerd Post!!
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. 😉
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! 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. 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. 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? Funny how that works…. LOL!
