Bullet Journaling

I resisted it.

A lot.

For a long time.

But

I started it.

I started a bullet journal!

At least my version of a bullet journal.  Although isn't that what a bullet journal is?  Your own version?

I LOVE my iPhone.  I keep EVERYTHING in it.  Calendar, to do list, reminders, emails, weight management, exercise, banking, notes etc, etc, etc.

But I need to work on reflection and my prayer life and I don't really know how to do that using my iPhone.

At my last librarian meeting one of the middle school librarians said she makes lists and reflects on them.  And I thought I could do that.

So I search Pinterest for bullet journals and reflections and prayers and found some pages I liked.  I also found some other fun things I'm going to play with like a travel page and a doodle page.

Jay, my mother-in-law, and my lead librarian all love their bullet journals.


I bought a Harry Potter journal.  It's a little thinner and fewer pages than I thought it would have but I think I'm going to like it.  It's a good journal to start with anyway.

Happy bullet journaling!

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

For Myself

I finished Must Love Mistletoe (Holiday Duet Book 1) (Holiday Duet Series) by Christie Ridgway It was a cute little Christmas book.  Which right now is all I'm reading!

For my book club we are The Hypontist's Love Story by Liane Moriarty. I'm only on chapter 2 but I'm already hooked! 

For School (last week)

Dream Snow by Eric Carle is one of my favorite Christmas books!  I love the snow,  the peaceful flow of the words, and guessing what animals are under the snow.  I read this to all grade levels even though it's really a lower grade book.  There's just something magical about it.  I also project a faux fireplace on my Promethean Board to set a warm, festive atmosphere.

Five For Friday-Christmas

I love Christmas!

1.  I love the pretty lights outside.

2.  I love decorating the inside of my house.

3.  I love buying gifts I think my family and friends will love!

4.  I love the food.  Oh the desserts!

5.  I love being with my family.

                      Rogue One!

Goodbye to a Friend and Co-worker

This week I had to say goodbye to a friend and co-worker.  She was my mentor my first (and second and third really) year as a librarian.  I took over her library when she moved to another school in the district.

This week she lost her battle with cancer.  

I hate cancer.

She left behind her parents, siblings, husband and two children.  I can't think too much about her children. It's more than my heart can take.

I will be keeping her family, especially her children in my prayers and ask that you do the same.

By the way, I think she'd hate this post. Ha!  She was a very private person and didn't like a lot of attention drawn to her.  But I feel she deserves at least this.

Rogue One (Spoiler Free)

Jay, Reagan and I are going to see Rogue One tonight!!!!!!  We bought tickets for the 10:00 p.m showing... on a school night....  None of us were thrilled at going so late.

Then a friend told us there was an early showing in a town about 30 minutes away.  So we sold our 10:00 tickets to a friend and bought tickets to the 7:00 showing in the other town.

I'm so excited that I'll just be tired tomorrow verses exhausted!  Ha!  At least we have early release Friday!
