My Everyday Life Week 1

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 1

Just wanted to let you know as we start a new year that I’ve now done this project for 10 years and this will be my 11th year working on it!!! Can you believe it??  THANK YOU. Thank you for sharing your Sundays (or in some cases, Monday mornings!) with me. This project has been such a wonderful way to reflect on my life & my creativity. Funny thing is, it’s also become a resource for Cooper. I’ve seen him look for pictures of our cats for school projects online here. Who would have thought? Life is wild! Here we go! Year 11.

Made my vision board for the year 2021.

My word for 2021 is CARE. 

Here are some pieces of my board..

All the things.

I started doing my Intentions for the Week printable every week since week 15 of 2020. 

This week I went through and looked at all of the things I wrote in the I AM GRATEFUL FOR section.

Currently December 2020

Currently December 2020

December was a doozy! I spent most of the month packaging & shipping orders for The Handwriting Club (OMG THANK YOU!) that I had little time to do work in the kitchen making magic on the blog. But then this December wasn’t like most Decembers…no parties… no gatherings… Cooper Casey and I were at home together all month. Didn’t really leave the house much. What a weird month. Our holidays have been kinda weird since my Mom died, so I guess I’m a little used to things not being the same with COVID.

Let’s take a look at my Currently Workbook for 2020.

Intentions for the Week

Looking to get your head in the game? Tracy from Shutterbean makes a weekly TO DO LIST called her Intentions for the Week. Here's what this week looks like:

Intentions for the Week- Week 1 of 2020

Happy Monday, friends!

This weekend it rained a lot so we were stuck indoors. I spent the weekend organizing spaces around the house, packing up food journal orders for The Handwriting Club (I’ll have more Currently Workbooks in my shop this week!). This week Cooper might be going back to school. Not entirely sure.  I am going to try to carve out a pocket of time to write down my Intentions for the year in my Currently Workbook- I’ll try to share them soon.  I’m hoping to get my house back to normal after the holidays. It’s Monday. Let’s take a moment and write down our Intentions for the week, shall we?

My Everyday Life Week 53

Here’s what the last week of 2020 looked like- My Everyday Life Week 53

Starting the New Year off right with my essentials. 

I am using a small notebook for bullet journaling this year.

The best part? It fits in my overalls.

I wanted pink so I could spot it from the other side of the room.

This week I spent time going through my old Currently Workbooks while I started my new one!

They’re now on Amazon if you’re looking to get one internationally. I’ll have more in my shop next week!

The Food Journal

The Food Journal- by Tracy Benjamin of Shutterbean.com & The Handwriting Club

Last January, I started the year with an elimination diet (no alcohol, no dairy & no gluten) and it made me feel so great. I was carrying the momentum until COVID happened and I spent 2020 making bread & eating feelings while trying to stay alive and take care of my family during a global pandemic.
