Bullet Journal




I have been debating back and forth with myself whether or not I wanted to start my own Bullet Journal. After much debate I have decided YESS! I hit up the Dollarama a while back and picked up some things to get me started. I eventually want to buy Calligraphy pens but I wanted to try it out first and see if I stick to it before going straight for the expensive stuff.

Some of the stuff I picked up are:

  • A thick paged sketchpad notebook
  • Pens
  • Black fine tip ink pens
  • Double sided markers (thick + thin)
  • Pencils
  • Gem stickers
  • Pencil case
  • Metallic tape (for design purposes)

The best thing I found about bullet journaling is that there isn't a set structure when normally there is. I struggled with this at first with bullet journaling as I found myself wanting to add dividers and section off things but no matter what I did with the structure it wasn't practical. You don't have to be a professional either! I was intimidated by some of the bullet journal posts on Pinterest because of their incredible skill and artistry. Mine are so basic and that's okay too! I am enjoying it more and more each day! Maybe my skill level will pick up with time.

You can literally write about anything. Thoughts, goals, plans, calendars, organization, relaxation methods; the topics are endless! It is a great way to destress too especially if you enjoy writing or drawing.

Like I mentioned earlier if you want to take up Bullet Journaling there is no need to go for the expensive stuff right away, although I know it can be super tempting. There are so many gorgeous planners, stickers, add-ons, and so much more out there that it is hard to resist. Believe me you don't need to go all out. I resisted and my cute Dollarama sketchpad is getting more and more glammed up by the minute ;)
I wouldn't underestimate the Dollarama either, the stuff you buy there adds up quickly! Well.. that is if you have no self-control in there like me.

Take a look at a few pages that I did. If there are other creatives out there taking part in the bullet journal experience I would love to see some of your work or just comment suggestions for other things to write about!





Post you next week! :)

Toys for Toddlers

Toys can be a crucial part of a toddlers development of the brain and the senses. My daughter recently turned a year old and loves to play and explore everything around her. Books can be a great way to stimulate the mind, my daughter often brings books from her playroom and gives them to me to read to her. Pointing to the words as you read will help them follow along I've caught my girl pretending to read a few times and pointing as she babbles. Monkey see, monkey do 🙈. I love when she picks up on things that I do and it helps you see that your little one is on the right track.                                          Boxes that helps babies identify and experiment with different shapes and colours helps children as well. It builds problem solving skills, allows them to explore, and concentrate on the task at hand. The red toy with the shapes has an outline of the blocks in the same colour they appear, it's a great opportunity to teach colours as well! These electronic bo

Happy 4th Birthday Malak!

January 26, 2019 Another year has flown by yet again, I can't believe you are 4 already and starting school in September! Every day that passes you are getting smarter than the day before and the things you say sometimes are absolutely amazing. I love you to the moon Malak and hope this birthday was everything you hoped for and more. Having just entered into my 9th month of pregnancy I knew this party would be a bit of a challenge nonetheless I didn't want anything to get in the way of Malak's birthday (since she talks about it all year). Thank God everything came together beautifully and Malak was a happy camper. This year Malak chose a Pokemon themed birthday party. I thought that it would be simple as its so popular now (again). The thing with Pokemon items is that they are expensive! But that's never stopped me before, I enjoyed a lot of the DIY games put together and early planning to avoid disappointment. I ordered plates, loot bags, napkins, banners, straw

Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

“Is this not a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love – that makes life and nature harmonize.” – George Eliot Oct. 11, 2020 For all those that have not been to Niagara Falls in the season of Fall, it is a must see. Go and absorb all of nature's beauty, you won't regret it. The day was spent with the most important people in my life, my family. Just being in each other's company was a blessing in itself and to enjoy my favourite season in a magical place was absolute perfection. We started our drive in Niagara on the Lake, the colours encompassing the atmosphere were truly captivating. Reds, oranges, yellows, brown and green of all shades covering trees, grass, bushes and all of nature's delight. We saw people walking, barbequing, renting and riding bicycles, and just enjoying the day together. The real estate in Niagara on the Lake closer to the bodies of water are stunning! Almost every home had a balcony which is now on my wishlist, I might invest a pr
