Playing Catch Up

Hi, Lovelies!

Ughhhhh!!!! Yeah I know, it's too long between posts! Can you believe I was sick for over 2 WEEKS last month??? Yeah I came down with some really gnarly Strep Throat. Gross. Anyway, now that that's all finished, it's been a chore and a half trying to get back in the spin of things. But, as you all know, being a mommy means ZERO vacations!!!

The shop has been slow. You can show your fiscal support here Haha! I did finally get my March Kawaii Planner Kits for March shipped! I'm so excited to be doing monthly subscription kits! I love personalizing and putting together planner bundles! You can subscribe for your kits starting this month (April) here.

Here's a peak at what's in store for April's Kawaii Planner Kits! All subscribers get added handmade and personalized goodies along with added perks like additional Instagram giveaway entries, and exclusive subscriber raffle entries.

What's new? Well my Dark Mint Planners from Kikki.k came in! I'm soooo in love with them!

You can say that I'm a Kikki.k fan. I love the designs and the ring size! The Large is my first A5 in the Kikki.k and I'm just so enamored with it! To answer your question, I am using the Large as my blog planner and the Medium as my "purse" planner. I'll post a more in-depth set-up post at a later time. I'm still perfecting my systerm since I use multiple planners for various things.

But just for fun, here's a little flip through of my Large Dark Mint ^_^

The Struggle!

Baby, Blog, and Breathe

Repeat.

So it's been ages since I wrote an actual blog post and I do apologize. Between raising the 3 little ones, maintaining an online shop, and trying to stay alive while doing it all, it's pretty hard to find time to try and just type a few paragraphs! I dunno how y'all super moms do it! Let's just hope things ease up a little when M starts school this year. *knock on wood*

So let's see what all I've NOT been doing first. Well Blogging is a given. I've also not been doing daily Bentos for the kids. They eat, trust me, they just don't get the cute stuff as often. I dropped the ball there. I've also not been doing much Doll Crafts. I'd really love to, I just don't 1) have the space since my brother-in-law moved back in and 2) have time since I'm constantly juggling with the kids and my shop. One other thing I've been neglecting is my kids' scrapbooks! I have been dreaming of starting to do Project Life style Scrapbooking but time and space is a big factor in my lack of motivation.

BUUUUT I have accomplished some things in the time that I've been dormant on the blog. One very important feat is keeping the children ALIVE!!! Am I right? Hey it's not as easy as you think when you've got 3 kids under 5 bent and determined to try the opposite!!! Climbing on, grabbing, and jumping off of things!!! And for those of you veteran moms out there who have battled this and come out on top with your own (mostly intact) youngins, KUDOSSSS!!!! I think mine would love for my hair to turn grey before I'm 30.

Some smaller, less impressive accomplishments have been: Reaching over 2k in followers on Instagram @theinsmomniac, upgrading my collection of planners, tiny success of my shop, meeting tons of lovely people online, gaining several penpals. I think each of those deserve their own blog posts so I'll jot the list down so I can remember to post about each subject. For now, please feel free to leave me any feedback. I'd love to hear any suggestions for posts.

Blogging GOALS:
- Start YouTube Posts
- Post More Bento Pics
- Write more Refection Posts
- Start posting tutorials

I'm hoping to post another update tomorrow so stay tuned! Stay inspired, y'all!

Birthday Week

I recently got a lovely birthday rak from a very lovely lady in one of my Facebook groups. Do I decided to use the goodies she sent. Because many of my days aren't very occupied, this was another week I got to decorate heavily! I love my washi and stickers! Hehe!

I used the card she made me in between the pages and attached extra tabs for later. Also used her envelope to store the leftover goodies just in case I needed more color coding and such. Some more of those gradation memo sheets like the ones I used last week for added writing and reminders! Added a homemade paint search page marker and viola!

As you can see, my birthday us coming up as well as my son's and my due date! So much to celebrate! Yay!

Memorial Day Bentos

Simple and significant. I'll keep it short since I'm using my phone. But here's a look at what the kids had yesterday.

Mexican Blend Quesadilla flags, homemade Mexican Rice, Black Beans, a Sweet Pepper, and Jello.

A tribute and thank you to ask the men and women who gave and give their lives to ensuring we can even make these meals for our children. You are remembered and we are grateful.

Planner Pages, Thus Far

Hey Everyone!


Yes I know I've been MIA the last few WEEKS. I'm SOOO sorry! I've been working on my Etsy shop a lot and getting that going along with regular Full-Time mommy duties has taken up the majority of my time. I should also report that there is no baby yet! This one looks like he's in for the long haul like his older siblings were. But I do have about a week left so we'll see.

I think I'll take this time to post my planner pages here and then my bentos on another. So here's what we've got so far. I am working on Next week's pages but they're not finished yet. Those will be posted soon. I'm excited to do so, as next week is my BIRTHDAY week! As well as my Son's (new baby is due on his birthday!) So very important week next week ^_^

I fell in LOVE with my planner pages 2 weeks ago.

I'm actually vey much in love with the Shabby Chic look and this Color Scheme has been my fave for a bit now. I week ended up filling out a little more and I left room for that. Those tabs on the days are there to add any extra tones. Aren't they GORGEOUS! My Mommy Dearest sent these to me for my shop but I couldn't help using some for myself >_<

Apologies

Hey, Everyone!

There have been a few small postable events I'd like to share with y'all. But my internet is down and I bam loath to use my phone if I can help it to make a decently lengthened post. So I do apologize for the delay. I'm hoping to resume regular posts very soon.

With that said, I loom forward to adding a few FiloHACKs as well as announce the opening of my small Etsy store, once I get it up and running. Stay tuned, friends! And stay inspired!

This Week's Planner Pages: Minnie Mouse

Hi there, Everyone!

I almost forgot to post this pic. I recently got a shipment in of new washi tapes. I had already decorated this week but was feeling a little disappointed in it. I went back and used a little of my new washi, some more stickers, and a Project Life journaling card I got from a lovely friend in one of my facebook RAK groups. I was much happier with the result this time around.
