{5 Things}

Alright, well. I made some what of a New Year's resolution to journal.

You see, I am not very good terrible at journaling outside this corner of the blog-asphere that I call home. But, I don't want to be. Hence the resolution.

Today, I finally went out on the hunt for that perfect journal.

I know, it's the 18th. I am off to a real good start, don't you think?

Sarcasm aside, I decide this was happening and I was going to force myself to do it.

As I strolled the stationary/planner/scrapbook isles in Target, I wasn't finding anything cute enough or cheap enough to sweeten the deal. Although as soon as I was about to give up on the half hearted search, a pop of yellow with a red tag indicating it was on clearance caught my eye!

Due to the kelly green ballet flats and lemon grass corduroy skinnies that were already in the cart, I have come to the conclusion I am in the mood for spring color.

Its January, Clarissa. January!

 Anywho, I scooped that baby up faster then you could say "I don't journal" and away we went.

As I bonded with my newly spoken for clearenced yellow journal, I had a thought.

I believe most of my great thoughts happen in Target.

What if instead of forcing myself to write down every detail of the day, because this is the biggest reason I don't like to journal, why don't I pick the 5 things in my day that stood out? The good, bad and the ugly. Honestly, those are the things we remember most deep down inside anyways, so why not write them down?

And there you have it folks, we have a journaling plan.

So what are my first 5 things you ask?

1.  This little lemon yellow journal. of course. I am smitten with you.

2. Thrifting with momma and Tori. Fun little girls outing.

3. Random lookie-louing through big lots as a family. We never go in there.

4. I am sticking to solid color manicures from now on. I truly do not have the skill to do cute things with my nails.

5. Egg Flower soup. mmmm... I swear this soup could solve any problem the world has to offer. not really, but you get the point.

Tada! I have completed my first 5 things! yay!

Happy weekending,
