Monday's


I don't mind Mondays so much now, mostly because I really like my job! But who wouldn't when your job is about deadlines and making lists if you are a planner!

Another thing I do on Monday's is that I like to think about my weekends and the best things we did!  We celebrated my husband's birthday and also attended the Metro Parks Summer Event!  It was so much fun.  If you follow me on Instagram you saw my post about the stick journal, probably my favorite thing ever!! Working on it with my son I just LOVE! He is my little artist and nature buff, so this was right up his alley! 
   

Vincent is using his as his Nature Journal (we are letting him work on spelling through sounding out words, so it's his own creative spelling). He is planning on doing rubbings and drawing the things he sees out on our nature walks! If you are interested, you can check out my IG (@shelliesstory) and there is a pic of my Stick Journal and the Instructions, a super fun and quick thing to do with your kids! 

I am working on trying to use the Happynichi process, right now though mine tend to look like a small journal. I am going to work on that this week! Try to improve my "doodles" and bullet points.  Hopefully I will have something at the end of the week to show of for my attempt. 

I have also been trying to come up with usable notes for myself and others are welcome to download! Here's some pic's of what I have created, if you are interested, you can find them here.

How I Planned During COVID

I LOVE planners, and use them for work, life and journaling Like many of you, I have been cooped up in my house since March 13 th (unlucky Friday the 13 th ) I have gone out for groceries, and I think we have picked up food once, at the beginning.  Otherwise, we have stayed in the house with little contact.  It was just this last weekend where we adventured to a “drive in movie” in the mall parking lot with my sister-in-law and her kids.   This was the first time my son finally got to play with his cousins and see someone other than his parents for over 3 months. He was delighted.  It doesn’t hurt that the movie was Sonic the Hedgehog which he has wanted to see for the whole quarantine as well!  I know that I have looked at Instagram and know that there are MANY of us that are just lost because there is nothing to plan! It hurts because we have these great planners all looking like they did “before the pen” still.  I admit it, I have many decorate...

Changing Seasons

I LOVE summer! I love the long days, going to the pool and having the energy to DO things. Once it gets cold and the air starts to change, I think for a moment that I might enjoy the fall activities, but MAN, I HATE COLD! As the days become shorter, I want to do less and less!   I WAIT for the Winter solstice! Bonus that Christmas will be in a few days, but I know that we will start getting more daylight. I have never tried light therapy, and maybe that would help but it just makes me sad. Driving to work in the dark and driving home in the dark… what could be worse! I have found that I haven’t been in the mood to plan lately. Events happen and I do write them down, but I often just want to lay on my couch and take a nap. I do try to make sure that I am not sleeping all night, so I am forcing myself to get up and do a little planning. It gives me a little motivation to do more. I have skipped my morning walks, 30 degrees in the AM is just too cold to walk, but I need to...

Getting My $h!t Done

We moved into our house in October of 2017.   It had new carpet and fresh paint so we didn’t need to do much to it to make it ours. We have almost been there two years, I look around the house and we are NOT put together! I still have boxes in the living room and office.   We have a bookshelf that we can’t put anything in it for fear of it falling (yay plush carpet). I am in there every day and I haven’t taken care of these things. I sit at night with my pretty planner relaxing and writing lists, but I never look at my house as to what we need to do. Well… I am changing that today! I am making a list to get these things done. I am not going to sit and wait for someone else to do it; I am going to get it done. (This is me hyping myself up) I know that when I go down in the basement my husband will follow because he will worry that I will mess up his "organization". I would show you pictures, but I have gotten strategic in how I take photos to post for the world! Tryi...
