I made stickers from the screenshots I took from the Finch self-care app. Now my buddy Yeet can adorn my upcycled notebooks, my planner, and my analog life in general, reminding me to Do All The Self-Care Things.
Thanks again to Dani Donovan (creator of The Anti-Planner and ADHD Comics) and her Finch, Taco, for introducing me to the Finch app! Separating my self-care tasks from my other tasks has been instrumental in helping self-care not get lost in the daily shuffle.
Yesterday was the Right To Read Week Vocabulary Parade at Connor’s school. When I was unable to craft a Rubik’s Cube themed outfit in a single day to personify the word “solve,” Connor asked if I could make him a “plain” shirt instead.
Peeps who have owned a Cricut machine for more than a year (@relysh): do you still use it like you did that first few months? Is it still worth having around? I’ve been thinking about getting one, especially since my son loved using a Silhouette machine at science camp this week.
This is the woodworking equivalent of that time I successfully sewed a pincushion.
I’m planning to make this into a platform bird feeder… but the chipmunks might assume it’s for them. We’ll see how this turns out.
While trying to identify and eliminate a funky odor in the kitchen this evening, I decided it would help to burn one of my selection of homemade soy candles from years past.
This was one of the first scent combinations I came up with on my own: Amaretto and Coke. I’m not sure when was the last time I lit this candle, but I’d forgotten how much I love this scent.
