Free printable Planner Pages 2021
Well, 2021 is starting off MUCH the same way as 2020 for me…ORGANINIZING ALL THE THINGS!! If you have been around these parts for a while, you may remember last year when I created PRINTABLE PLANNER PAGES to help keep me more productive. WELLLLLL…it worked…AND it didn’t work. It worked until the world stopped being normal in March due to Covid, and then all planning went straight out the window and I was pretty much just winging it from day to day. But since I have HIGH hopes for 2021, I am committing to getting back to a more normal routine. SOOOOO in true Jessica style, I stayed up WAYYYY…

I mentioned his accident and another Elf on the Shelf idea HERE if you wanna go check it out. But now he is alllll healed up, off of bedrest, and back in action.

Elf On The Shelf Ideas
You guys…I cannot get it together with this darn elf. I was super tempted to just tell the kids that the elf got Covid and be done with it, but I was honestly too tired to write a Covid letter from the darn elf. ARGHHH. Like Christmas isn’t stressful enough without this judgmental elf ruining my nights…and when I forget to move him…my mornings too!! BUT Kid 2 thinks it is SOOOOO fun when the Elf does something besides sit in the Christmas tree for 3 days, that it is hard to resist.
