Life Lately

Phew! Life lately!!! With projects strewn through my home, homeschooling, and then playing catch up on the adulting, it hasn't even been interesting! Ok, so it's always interesting, but not slap me in the face, "OMG that's going on the blog!" interesting. 

Well, we have had hard conversations with the kids like why gathering acorns to turn into a food source is probably not the best plan even though you're 10 years old and studied how to do it sans sickness. 

Also how puberty requires you to wash your face OUTSIDE of showering and deodorant is now a mandatory thing if you want to keep friends and hug your family. 

I've also had to do some soul searching about how I went wrong in my parenting because one of my kids is adamant to grow a man-bun. Seriously?! Yep. Thank you, Ragnar from Vikings. *gives Ragnar the finger* 

I'm also ashamed to admit that I've been living in lust. Lots of lust. Lust, lust, glorious LUST! 

Sheer, naked, drooling planner LUST!! 

*omg, she's talking about planners AGAIN!* 

I'M SORRY!! Planners are my bag, baby! 

And now I'm realizing I need a cute planner bag to haul around my planner stuff.  

Ok... back to the lust...

So Michael's has become my favorite store this year for various reasons.

**Disclaimer: I am not sponsored by Michael's, I just love them and willingly give them my monies. So these are my personal thoughts and opinions for free. But if Michael's decided to sponsor me, I wouldn't be upset, knowwhatimsayin. All the wink faces!!**

#1) Coupons.

If you haven't yet, join Michael's Rewards and get some fantastic coupons emailed to you and they have an app to make it easy. 

#2) They've grabbed the planner bull by the horns and have created so many affordable planner options this year.

Ring-bound personal binders and inserts, now there's an A5 line being released, AND an A5 coil-bound planner that's supposed to be released TODAY, 10/28!! 

Y'ALL. 

I'm so dying to go pet the paper in there. SO DYING. And the new washi tape that's coming out... I won't even talk about that because that makes me an enabler. I'm such an enabler, I enable myself! Washi is crack. I won't even tell you how many rolls I've bought this month. Why? Because I honestly can't remember and I'm pretty sure it's shameful. It could be worse though. Could. Be. Worse. 

#3) Supplies for all my craft fever. 

So it's Fall. 

(Or supposed to be. It's still in the upper 80s here. *sob*)

Fall makes me want to make all the things. ALL. THE. THINGS. 

Crochet. Learn to knit. Make soap. Make salves, lip balms, lotion bars. Bake. Sew. Embroider. Make cards. MAKEMAKEMAKEMAKEMAKE!!! 

While I can't find everything for all my craft fever (lip balm tubes anyone??), it does allow me to run in and buy some things as I need them instead of ordering online. 

Now if I can just make some more hours in the day to devote to making all the things... 

These are just a few things I adore about Michael's. I could go on and on and on, but I won't. I'm just going to go look at more pictures of this new planner line and think dirty, planning thoughts. 

I'm also so ready for Fall temps to kick in here. I want to cook cold weather food! I want to wear flannel and my cute boots! I want to drink hot beverages and not sweat! I want to turn my AC off and open windows! I want these weeds to die so I can stop having asthma and allergies til spring! 

C'MON, cooler weather!!! 

I also want to make my house homier and super cozy during the cold weather. I've been recently introduced to Hygge and am ready to incorporate this in my life. Imma have to go back to Michael's for some battery operated lights and candles for some ambiance. I'll have to write this in my planner! 

Ok, sorry, another planner interruption. 

This post is a perfect example of how my brain works. It's a mosaic, a hodge-podge, a mishmash, mental hopscotch. Yeah, I probably need therapy, but until that happens, I'll keep using planners and post it notes. 

Crap. Planners again. 

I'm stopping here before planners pop up again. 

*sigh* 

Fail.
