Bullet journaling assists in organization, but does so much more. The idea of bullet journaling is to use grid style paper - taking us back to those days of charting plots in Geometry - and a free flowing style.<br />
<br />
Why should you ditch the calendar and start Bullet Journaling? Simple: your life isn't a calendar. One day your bullet journal may be a list of "to do" and the next it may be filled with designs for a new dress. The blank slate is to help you live your life - just in a more organized manner - and flows with your day to day activities. You're in full control of your journal, making this a successful tool for everyone to use.<br />

<br />
To get started you will need:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>a <a href="http://amzn.to/2va25jz" target="_blank">Bullet Journal</a></li>
<li>one reliable pen - or <a href="http://amzn.to/2vafSaa" target="_blank">multiple colors of pens</a></li>
<li>book mark (if your journal does not come with one), <a href="http://amzn.to/2wkBIWI" target="_blank">washi tape</a> or <a href="http://amzn.to/2wkmIbD" target="_blank">post it notes</a> </li>
<li>your current calendar (if you plan on using your bullet journal in lieu of a calendar or to enhance your current organization system)</li>
</ul>
<br />
If you will be using this as your day to day journal, I suggest you make an index page for the month or the week listing an existing appointments. Then use the subsequent pages to fill out those days. Use banners and other designs to enhance the pages. Washi tape or the smaller post it notes organize the pages by color or design to make sections - such as Dr appointments or work out journal - easy to find a flip through and a book mark is used to keep your spot within the journal for your daily ideas.<br />
<br />
What makes Bullet journal successful is consistent use of the journal. The best way to ensure this is having the journal out on display. Whether your purchase a <a href="http://amzn.to/2hzvRcN" target="_blank">book stand</a> or just leave the journal out on your coffee table, having the journal visible will guarantee that your journal will be used. 21 days of straight use forms a habit. Once you start using your journal daily, this is something you will not want to give up.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06564219677166677499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222947067301651354.post-23259773842017524852017-08-09T14:57:00.000-07:002017-08-09T15:07:00.585-07:00Free "First Day of School" printable Make your first day of school picture memorable with these free downloadable posters to mark the first day of school (click link to open image to print)<br />

My daughter is ready to go back to school. We have spent some of the Summer reading, keeping up and advancing her Math skills and focusing on subjects she is interested in, but they are not teaching in school at her grade level.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One subject she is very interested in is geography. In First grade Geography is not taught at all. We reviewed all 50 states, their capitals and something each state is known for (bird, flower, festival, etc).<br />
At the end of the school year when I was looking for a map locally, I couldn't find what I wanted so I went to Amazon and found these two maps.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
These maps were the perfect size. I have them both hanging up in our dining room (they are just large enough that the fit side by side on one wall). <br />
<br />
The maps in conjunction with homemade worksheets assisted my soon-to-be second grader in learning US Geography and starting to learn World Geography.<br />

You know the "What's for dinner?" chorus will be starting soon. Here are some ideas for easy summer dinners.<br />
<br />
<b>Plan Ahead</b><br />
If you grill on the weekend, grill extra food. After my husband BBQs dinner on a Sunday evening we will grill boneless skinless chicken breast to be made into week night meals.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0EeKjUKDSlH8grQNJvMFHBWwg3KaoBNdNbxdNuPCqP5D6IsMgIHr_aDA_Fi_7E2uTs9tCo8Nv9QpMgk_xzTjUqtvUYNrbRA2Dlcw2NeLTz33Zk__v6mtE34IY0Xr0I3sKVIrlPH7azdYh/s1600/grilled+chicken.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0EeKjUKDSlH8grQNJvMFHBWwg3KaoBNdNbxdNuPCqP5D6IsMgIHr_aDA_Fi_7E2uTs9tCo8Nv9QpMgk_xzTjUqtvUYNrbRA2Dlcw2NeLTz33Zk__v6mtE34IY0Xr0I3sKVIrlPH7azdYh/s200/grilled+chicken.jpeg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Meal ideas: grilled chicken on a salad blend, chicken salad sandwiches, spring rolls, lettuce wraps</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Pressure Cooking</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We purchased an <a href="http://amzn.to/2sBuQSP" target="_blank">Instant Pot</a> about 9 months ago and we use it every day. You get a nice hot meal in a reduced amount of time without heating up your kitchen. If you don't have a pressure cooker, use your crock pot instead. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Meal ideas: one pot spaghetti and meal sauce, meatloaf w/ potatoes, tomato soup, beans (with rice made in a rice cooker), roast (veggies cook w/ roast), or lasagna </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Indoor Grill</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We have a Foreman Grill which gets a lot of use during the summer and not so much the rest of the year. This cooking method will not heat up the house and you can set a timer to not be cooped up in the kitchen. If you have the Foreman Grill with the various types of plates you can make a breakfast dinner. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Meal ideas: paninis/grilled sandwiches (grilled cheese, ham & swiss, etc), hamburgers, grilled chicken, grilled fish, or grilled veggies. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Raid the fridge</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
We all have them - leftovers. This is a good way to clean out our fridge and give everyone a choice of what they want for dinner or create sandwiches or roll ups.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Sides</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For side dishes, stick to easy to prepare items: steamed veggies, salad, fruit, yogurt</div>
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My daughter has been asking for a pet "of my own" for awhile. We begrudgingly gave in only after she was able to demonstrate being able to take care of a pet.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Her check list to complete:</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">keep her room clean to Mom's standards</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">feed her fish and help clean the tank</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">pick up after herself with few reminders</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">research her new pet (summer project)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">what does it eat</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">how big of a living space does it require</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">is it diurnal, nocturnal?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">will it get along with the other pets?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">does it get regular check up or require shots from the vet</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">any other cool or interesting things she wanted to include</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For X amount of time...we left that open ended knowing that habits take time to form and even as adults we get off track.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In her research she found out that guinea pigs require 8 sq ft of living space, eat unlimited timothy hay + guinea pig food and fresh veggies, require a lot of attention (extremely social animals), and poop a lot (I'm not even sure how something so small can poop 10 times a hour!)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As promised a guinea pig will be joining out menagerie of animals</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfnz-fQ4TWdNPiDExUG3s7YkOExuv-SWCJhKS_IZaByz2z4fove2C5y2vXPSiPBanIFB6X_GJhNr3m_eulf0lYTw74PTsGk7uaiMqKUU6Pa5UwG2WoXQNmHeEStg0wY7JRJdAanBP1ta6k/s1600/pets.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="789" data-original-width="940" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfnz-fQ4TWdNPiDExUG3s7YkOExuv-SWCJhKS_IZaByz2z4fove2C5y2vXPSiPBanIFB6X_GJhNr3m_eulf0lYTw74PTsGk7uaiMqKUU6Pa5UwG2WoXQNmHeEStg0wY7JRJdAanBP1ta6k/s320/pets.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Before acquiring the guinea pig, we had to decide on a cage. Sounds simple, right? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Criteria:</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">~8 sq ft of living area</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">hard bottomed </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">easy to open/close</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">easy to clean</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After looking around quite a bit, we settled on this cage made by Living World, which can be purchased <a href="http://amzn.to/2tGe0Ft" target="_blank">here</a> (aff link)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</span><br />
<div>
This X-Large cage is 46.9L x 22.8 W (enough room for 2 guinea pigs) and includes: food bowl, water bottle, hay feeder, and a balcony with a hideaway. The metal cage is held on my 4 clips and easily removed to clean the cage. </div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also required for optimal guinea pig happiness: unlimited Timothy hay, timothy hay based food pellets, chew toys, and soft bedding (she chose brightly colored "Birthday Cake" by Kaytee). </div>
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
The cage doesn't look that big, right? Here it is set up on a IKEA Linmon 39 x 23 table. </div>

Yesterday we went to Petsmart and after much deliberation she picked out her guinea pig, Caramel.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Caramel mostly hid under the covered area yesterday evening. Today she has been a lot more active. We have taken her out of the cage several times, she has gotten a tour of the house and a lot of cuddles which she seems to be enjoying. </div>

So when Dan TDM (The Diamond Minecart) announced his tour, we purchased tickets. I went into this with an open mind, not really knowing what to expect. My knowledge of Dan was pretty limited. I know he's English, has pugs (which my daughter is obsessed with), he plays many games - especially Minecraft, is married and he's on YouTube. Oh and he has the elusive Diamond YouTube button. Personally, I have only seen a few episodes of his extremely entertaining YouTube show and I was unsure how this would translate to a live show.<br />

Dan asks that we not share the content of the show and I'll gladly oblige. The show is roughly 2.5 hours long with a 20 minute intermission. The live shows has familiar faces: Elle and Darcy, Dr Trayorus, Craig the Mailman and Eve. The interactive show has the audience helping Dan and Eve through various puzzles - some of which have select audience members joining the pair on stage. This fun show is a must see for fans of Dan TDM.<br />

Even though I was unsure as to what to expect, I had a good time. This is a creative show with enough interaction to keeps the kids interested in what is going on. I noticed a few places within the show where their were hiccups, but my daughter didn't seem to notice. What I took away from the show is that Dan really enjoys what he does and he values his fans.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06564219677166677499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222947067301651354.post-1728523593943127062017-07-02T12:06:00.002-07:002017-07-02T12:06:36.351-07:00Nicolas Sparks Novel GiveawayAuthor Robin Nadler is celebrating the digital release of her new novel <u>If Only</u> on <a href="http://amzn.to/2tB89Bi" target="_blank">Amazon</a> by giving away <b>ANY</b> Nicolas Sparks Novel!<br />

It's easier today, right? Every day you will notice that things will fall in place a bit better.<br />
<br />
As the days go on, here are a few important things to remember:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The initial list isn't set in stone. You should review your morning list on a regular basis to ensure you are making the most of your time. Let this routine evolve as your life changes</li>
<li>Don't forget about taking care of yourself. This change of routine does make your life easier, but you need to find time in the mornings for yourself - extra time to enjoy your cup of coffee, morning yoga - to enhance the rest of your day. Never stop soul searching. </li>
<li>Life happens! If you get off track, start again fresh the following day</li>
</ul>
<div>
Remember - work smarter, not harder. How you start your day, sets the tone for your day and everyone else around you. </div>

If so, congratulations. If not, sit down and contemplate where your morning got off track. <br /><br />Before something becomes a habit or a routine, it takes a lot of willpower to things happen. Yes, it will take some willpower, mental energy, and drive at first to create the new morning habits, but once they are set, it will become automatic like brushing your teeth before bed. <br /><br />Watch out for moments when you slip back into your old habits and routines. It’s going to happen. The key is to catch it early and get back on track as quickly as possible. For example, let’s say you’ve been doing well with waking up 30 minutes earlier and going for a run before you start your day. Then one day you oversleep and can’t make it out there. That’s life. It happens. Every day is a new start. Your most important job whenever life gets in the way of your new morning routine is to get back on track as quickly as possible.<br /><br /><style type="text/css">

Well, it's time to pull that out. Today is the day you finalize that list.<br />
<br />
As you are making up the list of tasks you'd like to accomplish think about the following:<br />
1. Is this something I have to do or can someone else in the household perform this task?<br />
2. Does this task have to be completed in the morning?<br />
3. Is there a way to streamline this task into a routine later in the day?<br />
4. Am I making time for me?<br />
<br />
Remember, this list IS NOT set in stone. If you feel overwhelmed, take additional time to think about what is on the list. This is going to make your life easier.<br />
<br />
Write down a time you think you would have to set your alarm in order to complete everything on your list. Tonight, place the list some place you will have easy access to in the morning and set your alarm for the time you wrote down.<br />

Today I want you to think about what you should and what you shouldn’t be doing in those first few hours of the day. That’s an important idea to ponder. So often we get stuck in a routine and do things because that’s what we’ve always done. We do it without really thinking about whether or not it’s the best use of our time. <br /><br /><b><span style="color: purple;">It’s Not About Cramming More Things Into Less Time </span></b><br /><br /><b><span style="color: purple;">It’s About Making Smart Choices About Using Your Time </span></b><br />Think about what is the best use of your time in the morning. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Compare your perfect morning with your current morning routine. What aren’t you doing on your ideal morning? If you can start by cutting things out, finding time to do what’s important to you becomes much easier. <br /><br />There are two great ways to find things you can stop doing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
#1 Cut out the busy work. What are you doing in the morning that can wait? Maybe it's killing 15 minutes on social media or checking your email while you enjoy that first cup of coffee? If that’s how you choose to spend your time, that’s perfectly fine, but if you’re doing it out of habit it may be time to rethink it. What else could you do with that 15 minutes?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
#2 Doing tasks for other that they can do themselves. Kids are the perfect example. We start out fixing their breakfast, making their lunch, cleaning up after them, picking out their clothes, and making sure their backpack is packed and ready to do. When they are very small, we have to do these things, but all too often we continue to do them long after they’re capable of doing things on their own. A few small changes may be all it takes to make the time in your busy morning for what’s important to you. <br /><br /><br />

<span class="s1">Mornings are busy and they can be quiet chaotic. They do not have to be that way and it’s all about embracing two simple concepts. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Get Up Early Enough </b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">It’s tempting to hit the snooze button and catch a few more minutes of sleep, isn’t it? It’s even hard to set the alarm early enough that you have plenty of time for everything you want and need to get done. I get it. If you’re not a morning person, moving up the alarm by 30 minutes to carve out a little extra time can be tough. Trust me though, after the first few mornings it’s not nearly as hard as you think and something you’ll quickly get used to. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Getting up early enough on the other hand puts you ahead of the game. You’re in control. You can take care of everything that needs doing in a calm manner and still have time for the important things you want to work on. In short, getting up early enough sets you up for an amazing, productive day.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b>Restructure Your Routine </b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Spend a little time thinking about your current morning routine and where you’re spending time. Look for things you can change and tweak to find more time for the things you really want to do. For example, if you want an extra 20 minutes in the morning to meditate, look at what you could take care ahead of time, eliminate, or delegate to make that time. If you spend a lot of time getting breakfast for everyone, get in the habit of setting the breakfast table the night before. Ste up the coffee the night before, so all you have to do in the morning is push a button. Make sure clothes are set out the night before (including yours), and that book bags, purses, briefcases, and car keys have a designated spot and that there where they need to be before you turn in for the night. Small changes like this to your morning routine can make a big difference. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Today's challenge: come up with a few small tweaks that will save you at least 30 minutes in the morning. </span></div>

<br />
Yesterday you were to think about what does and doesn't work in your daily routine. I hope you did that because it's time to get to work!<br />
<br />
Here is my question for you this morning. What’s most important to you? What is the one thing you really want to do on a daily basis that would make a big difference, but you just can’t seem to find the time for?<br />
<br />
Once you’ve figured out what you want to work on, what you want to improve, and what’s important to you, we’ll think about how you can make it part of your morning routine.<br />
Visualize what you would like your morning to be like. It isn’t stressed or rushed. Most importantly it’s a day when you have time for everything on your list. Remember, you’re just dreaming and imagining at this point. We’ll work on figuring out where to find the time to fit it in and how to make it all work out later on.<br />

Grab your breakfast of choice, pen/pencil and a piece of paper - or journal - and write down in as much detail as possible your "dream morning".<br />

I am a "don't talk to me before I've had my coffee" type of morning person. For all of you out there reading this - I get it!<br /><br />How you start your day, or more specifically how you spend those first few morning hours sets the tone for the rest of your day. That’s why making over your morning is so important.<br /><br /> I’m sure you’ve experienced this yourself. Let’s use the snooze button as an example. You set an early alarm to make sure you have time for exercise, meditation, or simply some much needed “me time”. You have every intention of getting up and doing whatever you’re setting out to do when you set the alarm in the first place. You get up when the alarm chimes and go for that walk, do your meditation exercise, or read a book for twenty minutes. Other days you just can’t make yourself get up. You hit the snooze button multiple times, or turn the alarm off altogether and go back to sleep.<br /><br />Think about how the rest of those days went: Did you notice a difference in how you felt? How much did you got done on the mornings when you got up with your first alarm? Were you able to do all the things you set out to do?<br /><br />If I had to take a guess, I’d say that the mornings when you got up as soon as the alarm went off went a lot smoother and you were able to accomplish more. The other days...well....not so much.<div>
<br />Today, I want you to start preparing for the upcoming challenges. Use today to reflect back on your mornings and what does & does not work for you and your family. <style type="text/css">
