Over the past week I have come to realize that I am not alone. There are other organizational fruit-loops out there, after all! After sharing my Daily Page I got several requests for a more complete page that would allow you to view and organize your entire week on one sheet. Request completed . The original idea for this came from a reader who shared with me this link , but I of course spiced it up and have organized it in a way that I would find most useful—I like to track my water consumption (I aim for 80 oz every day) and I also take a multi-vitamin and a fish oil supplement.

So Very Scaly
I think tshirt yarn is perfect for a knotted headband! I even have a quick video on how to form the knot. I think we've all seen that fun Knotted Headband by You Seriously Made That - - here's a refresher: Cami did a great job and I followed her tutorial for the "knot" part of the headband. So go there for that. But instead of crocheting long strands, I used Tshirt Yarn.

How To: DIY Pom Poms
In my previous nursery post I gave you a sneak peek at my latest DIY project.
