We all have organizers and planners, and they all have to-do lists in them, but in every to-do list in our organizers, they fall short. At least 5 lines short. These lists aren't meant to replace day planners, but enhance them. The list fits snugly onto the pages of a 5.5"x8.5" planner, and with room to spare on full sized 8.5"x11" planners. There's a habit tracker, to add what you think you need to add. Need to get better about taking your medication? Write it down. Have trouble getting out of the house? Add it to the list. Keep things that you want to make a habit out of your to do list and in their own section where you can focus on them in their own ways.  Have daily goals you want to meet? Not getting enough water? Or maybe you want to read for 2 hours every day. Add these to your goals, and watch as you start making time to fulfilling your goals. Then, there's the to-do list. If you're anything like me, "Clean Kitchen" on a...

The light glistens harshly on your smooth black surface. Your hardened exterior protects the world from what you hold inside, But we both know that you want what every mother wants: For her children to be safe. For her children's needs to be met. It's only a matter of time. We have resigned ourselves to our futures. Your seed has been planted. Our time is limited, and there is no one to help us. One last meal. One last conversation. *sploosh* *SCREEEEEEEEEEEECH* (More like this to come! It's October, get ready for some creepy poetry!)

Just an FYI, if you're planning on making an order for Christmas, Hannukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, Ramadan, Eid, Novermber/December birthdays, or...really any occasion, I will need at least a request for the order by October 15th. It's the last day of 2015 that I will accept orders, because I need time to complete them AND gifts for my friends and family. You can reach me on my facebook page, or by email . :D Thanks!! Jeni

If you follow me on the twitter/instagram/tumblr triumvirate or are friends with me on face book, you have seen me post photos of lists under the hashtag #selfaccountability, and probably wondered what I'm doing. Some of you also know that I'm now in treatment for Bipolar Disorder, which has had me swinging from long bouts of sinking depression to short bouts of manic energy. When I was depressed, I couldn't be bothered to do much of anything, let alone clean. The house was just terrible. The boys rarely, if ever, got outside. If it wasn't microwaveable, it didn't get cooked (which meant we got takeout). Sometimes, it feels like the bouts of depression lasted longer than the manic episodes, but it's only because...sometimes, anything less than AWESOME felt like it was terrible. A little over a year ago, I started with a therapist that actually helped, and didn't tell me I needed to pray more, do yoga, or try some other "woo" treatment that isn...

Ok, so it's just new stuff in the store. Cup Cozies. Now available in my Etsy Shop .

Just what I'm working on today. Color Affection by Vera Välimäki.

But, I've been making things! This super adorbs Owl Rug is a pattern available at Etsy and Ravelry :) And this adorable number for my baby niece who I have not heard whether or not she's joined us on the outside yet. :D

I know, this is SO NOT CRAFTY, but I figure...everyone else is doing it, so I'm gonna. OMG, LOOK THEY GAVE ME CANDY. *ahem* 3 nail colors, 1 box Junior mints, and a bunch of cards....Oh, what's under the cards? Goodies! Eyeshadow, Lip Gloss, Mascara, and nail tools! WAHOO! (Note, the eyeshadow and tools were purchased extra from the standard box. The lip gloss and nail polishes were the standard Maven box. The mascara was a gift for ordering extras.) So, what do I think? I have so many feels. First, the nail colors. Gorgeous. Casey  - A beautiful dark teal, very creamy, no shimmer. Glossy finish, one to two coats needed for cover. LOVE THIS. Shelly - A beautiful bright wintermint creme, no shimmer. Glossy finish, one to two coats needed for cover. I like it. It won't be a regular for me, but I like it.  Tyra (No Link)- Metamorphic top coat, iridescence. Shimmery finish, leans to pink. I wanted SO BADLY to love this. I love irides...

Soon
