My Everyday Life Week 34

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 34

This week I turned 46! My birthday was on a Monday. The same day school started! 

My friend Neiley made me this amazing pop-up card. I love it so much.

Finished 33 days of morning pages this week. IT WAS SO HARD FOR ME THIS ROUND. 

Prepping for school and traveling made some of my morning pages turn into afternoon pages. Checking in with myself daily on paper was helpful.
