Mock-up of page to show sections & content As promised, here is my current daily layout for the Hobonichi Techo Cousin. I know that heavily templated daily planners are all the rage lately (Day Designer, Simple Planner, and many more) but I love the flexibility (and the look) of doing it myself. This way, I get to decide exactly what goes on the page, and how much space every category gets. I realize that the above is rather small and blogger tends to do something odd to wash out photos, so I also uploaded a shareable version on Google Drive: HERE. A brief summary of each section: Checkboxes at the top: I use these to record morning activities. Currently, they are M (meditation), J (journal), and whatever workout/run I have planned. Checkboxes along the left: These are for each patient scheduled – I check off the box once the note is DONE! Oddly motivating. I will also note any scheduled meetings or time-sensitive activities in this area. Under the checkboxes: An area to plan an evening activity (usually something as mundane as Watch Silicon Valley but I like having something to look forward to!)

Mother's Day is fast approaching! Less than a week away now. Today I spent a little bit of my free time making some fun coloring sheets to share with you. You can feel free to use the coloring pages for your own PERSONAL use. But please be kind and do not claim these pictures as your own or offer them for downloads. It makes me sad to see my pictures on a coloring page website run by someone else. When my kids were young, I got a worksheet filled out by them. It was good for some laughs and made a special keepsake. It's always interesting to hear how your children think about you, and what things they notice. I know when my son was in elementary school he listed that my hobby was vacuuming the house! Haha... if only I enjoyed this task as much as he thought!
