oh the week i’ve had (already!!) you should see my list of things to do… it would scare the most efficient time manager… my tendency is to tackle the big things and do the small things after the big things have been handled (which means, they almost never get done)- *** lightbulb moment had in conversation at our friend’s house saturday- i am almost always great friends with girls who have brandon’s behavioral traits (well organized, neat, time efficient, project starters and finishers) and almost always their husbands are like me. (a little messy, hops from project to project, puts things off, tackles the big tasks first) turns out, brandon and becca always do the little things first, and the big things last. THIS IS HUGE FOR ME. so, i decided, for one week, i would do that. can i tell you, i checked off EIGHT things on my office task list. EIGHT. and i made dinner. whaaaat… you guys might just be on to something.
so, because i’m checking things off of my list, i thought i would go ahead and post my TUESDAY CRUSH.
flip chart and sharpies that don’t bleed through? yes, please!
if you come into my office, you will see one of these charts all mounted up and covered with my lists of things to do…
everything tasked in black & marked through in orange or red… looove it.
i can’t tell you how much easier it is to accomplish things without being overwhelmed, and it looks fun and productive like. 
don’t hate.
it’s my new office chair/stool-
needed: exercise ball chair that i could use daily and not end up with some kind of spine disorder because i have to sit in front of a blasted computer more than i was designed to.
answer: this genius german design.
only problem, you really can’t buy it on amazon.
oh, you can add it to your cart, get all giddy that they have red and it will look fun in your office- but when you try to check out.
no bueno.
it says it isn’t available.
so, what do you do? try for 2 more weeks hoping it is a glich in the system to no avail.
then, wait for yet another lightbulb moment and head over to ebay*** sweet!!! they have orange (that is the color you would want anyway, if you had an office like mine)
and you order one.
then think about ordering another, but know, that whoever comes to your office will think it’s weird, so you might have to push it under your desk and sit in a real chair while they’re there.
i’m just saying.
you might just need one. but, you never know, hip people who care about their spines might come over, so maybe you should stop tying and go buy one now? before their gone?
oh, temptation!!
um, yeah, because everytime i want to speak spanish, german comes out. and that is a liiiiiitle awkward because not many people living in texas have actually even heard german, so, i think spanish is the new language of choice.
i grew up hearing it and understand a ton of it, but the reality is- there are spanish speaking people all around me, and i want to be able to serve them- love them, and have a stinkin’ conversation! my heart is to really understand language, i love it, i’m mean, LOVE IT. words are so powerful, and i don’t want to be another american who only speaks english (sorry, if that offends- but anytime you leave this country… or meet anyone from another country, ask them how many languages they speak… you will be amazed) so, spanish, here i come!!
some beautiful etsy love…
and some fun fashion finds on etsy… how incredible to get to buy handmade items…
oh, and this next one was orginally designed for nursing moms… how thoughtful is that?
you can take care of your kiddo and still look hip.
thats what i’m talking about.
and i promise, i will do a full post on these oils, but i have to say, what is saving the day…
is this bottle here… i wear it as perfume, i can’t get over the smell- it is soo wonderful! everywhere i go people ask me what i’m wearing- if they only knew that it not only smells good, but also… well, here is the official description:
Peace & Calming® is a gentle, fragrant blend. When diffused, it helps calm tensions and uplift the spirit, promoting relaxation and a deep sense of peace. When massaged on the bottoms of the feet, it can be a wonderful prelude to a peaceful night’s rest. Peace & Calming may be especially calming and comforting to young children after an overactive and stressful day.
it really works on adults who have had an overactive stressful day too
hope you enjoyed the things i’m crushin’ on!! happy tuesday!
