Ice Bucket Challenge

Hey friends! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! Mine was pretty laid back with some girl’s night fun, projects, movies and a manicure! I also got my breath taken away for the Ice Bucket Challenge. If you’ve not heard of the ice bucket challenge, it’s an advocacy challenge to get people aware of ALS (Amyotrophic Latiral Sclerosis.) People are nominated to pour a bucket of ice water on their head and donate or do a walk for ALS. ALSA’s Mission: Leading the fight to treat and cure ALS through global research and nationwide advocacy while also empowering people with Lou Gehrig’s Disease and their families to live fuller lives by providing them with compassionate care and support. You can find out more at ALSA.org on how to get involved! Don’t get excited, I didn’t do anything clever or funny. It was an excellent way to cool down on a hot and humid day!

I was also visiting This Silly Girl’s Life on Saturday doing a quick, easy washi tape project!

Life Planner

Today I’m going to let you hear me. Yes, I’m doing my first ever vlog. Sigh. It’s so hard to hear yourself on camera but I wanted to try it out so you guys could get to know me a bit better! I’m going to talk about my life planner and show you what works for our family in hopes that it sparks some ideas for your planner!

Life Planner

If you want better quality, click HERE to go to my YouTube page.

Here’s the ridiculous set up I had for my make-shift tripod!! Please tell me how you set your cameras up so you can use both hands!! Please disregard all of the scrapbook stuff on the island out of frame! I’ve been smashing lately!

As promised here are the links to everything you see in my planner. If there’s anything I missed or you care to know about; like my nail polish color, what make up I’m wearing, where I got my Mickey earrings or any other random thing you see, just ask! Ps. Stephen King would be SO mad to see his book next to Twilight! You can definitely pick out which books are mine and which are Jeffrey’s.

There ya have it! What does your life planner look like? One of many things I learned while doing this vlog-look at the camera. Sorry friends. *Disclaimer: I do not discourage tree climbing except for when the tree is dead.* How’d you like the vlog? Honestly, I’d love any and all feedback you have regarding the matter! Also, sorry for calling my sweet neighborhood my ‘hood’…I’m weird.
