MY Planner - An Update - 1 Year Later

So, I am beyond excited for my new Erin Condren Life Planner to arrive in the mail.  I thought I would do a 1 year later to show how much I still love it!

Here is my original post showing my planner brand new. 

I am not surprised, but happy to report that I have used my planner every day at least a handful of times.  I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about my planner.  

I also have done a video showing just how much I used it and love it.  You can find that here.

 {A look at my 2011-2012 planner, It is "Candy Lace" I believe the colors were Pool and Brown}

I was also so happy to make it through an entire 12 months without it getting ruined.  It is so sturdy.  The aluminum coil and laminated covers has a lot to do with that I think.  The Laminated Tabs were also a huge plus this past year!

And as you can see inside my planner, I use this so much.  With 2 kids, and one on the way this past year, I had a lot to keep track of.  I will continue to be a customer and rave about the products because they fit my needs so well, while adding the vibrant personal touches that you just can't get from a regular planner in a store.

Stay Tuned, because you better believe the day my new planner arrives I will be sharing!!!

Teacher Gifts - End Of The School Year

With the school year coming to an end., I have prepared a little end of the year gift for my sons Kindergarten Teachers.  He has 2 in his classroom, and I did the same thing for each.  This idea was inspired by Pinterest.

Items Included:
Large Beach Towel (rolled up) / This towel is from Costco
Magazine (I went with HGTV The Magazine)
Sunblock (I did Neutrogena Spray) / This was a two pack from Costco
A reusable water cup / This is the Aladdin Brand (a 3 pack from Costco)

I corralled all the items and tied them up with a bow.  The gift tag is a sticker tag I got with my Erin Condren Life Planner last year.  
 

Joshua - 5 Months

5 Months.  As I look back on last months post and photos, the major thing that stands out is JD's hair.  He has lost all of his hair (minus one strip of Mohawk on top), and the new hair is starting to grow in.  Just like his big brother.  It is also coming in much lighter and more blonde.

He is also much more wiggly.  On the play mat one minute, and completely off the next.  Still most movement is while he is on his back, scooting.  He has rolled over both ways, but doesn't do it very often.

Yesterday I switched out all of the 3-6 month clothing, and replaced it with the 6-12 and 6-9 month things.  Mainly it is the once piece items, the sleepers and rompers that are too snug in the 3-6 months.   

We have no real signs of teeth yet, but do have a ton of drool!  Also the spitting up after every bottle has continued, so there is a lot of laundry going on over here.

Overall his temperament is still so relaxed.  He is also now taking his morning nap in his crib, and it is usually his longest best nap of the day.  The afternoons he sort of cat naps with me, or in the car during school pick-up.  Occasionally we still also get an evening nap as well. 

He is still a very sweet smiley baby!  I just can't believe half a year has almost come and gone.  No matter how hard you try, it always goes bye way too quickly!
