Getting into the Holiday Spirit

I have been getting into the holiday spirit lately. I'm working on sending out our holiday cards. Not just sending it out but putting my personal touch on it. I'm doing some lettering and hopefully coming up with a fun sticker design for ideallybri. It's great but very time consuming.

I feel like there is so much I want to do and so little time, especially with kids. One of my biggest issues is balancing my time. I am really bad at it. Perhaps 2018, I can help that. I've been looking back at my year and it's pretty sad. I was looking at my list of things to do and I don't think I even checked off one. 😭 This has only been my first year with a bullet journal so at least I can look back on things to highlight my year rather than it be a big blur. My memory is terrible so that's one good thing about it. Here are some of the things that work and didn't work for me:

Some Bujo Take-aways:

• It was fun designing but I need to pay more attention to space
• I don't really need to list dailies because some days nothing is going on
• My bills list is really useful and I should have really kept using it 
• The year at-a-glance was helpful 
• I don't have an index but perhaps I should try to have one this time?
• My list of accounts and pw at the end was useful
• Possible Menstrual tracker

I have been on the hunt for "THE BUJO". "THE BUJO" itself is another motivation for me. If I love the overall bujo I will be more inclined to use it more. I picked up 2 today and I am also considering the Scribbles that Matter ones. Decisions, decisions. The first journal is from Staples. I like the embossed rose gold design and it is easy to open but the pages are lined. The second one is from Michaels. This journal is for artists. It has thicker paper and no lines (which could also be a bad thing). The Scribbles that Matter journal is very well known and used by a lot of bujo-ers. It has dotted paper which is a happy medium between lined and non-lined paper. I haven's seen the journal in person so I am not sure how durable the pages are...




Decisions, decisions.

My little one actually got me sick...He had hand, mouth, foot this whole (with a misdiagnosis from the Dr earlier in the week saying it was strep). It was a very sad, stressful, and tiring time. I think I have a cold. I'm glad I don't have what he had because I would be in so much pain. My poor lil guy!
