Pocket Calendar
I consider myself a pretty up-to-date kind of gal who enjoys all kinds of new tech toys and gizmo's. But, when it comes to keeping my life organized, just give me an old fashioned pocket calendar and I am happy.

Each year, I make my way to the Dollar Tree for a few pocket calendars at the low, low price of...you guessed it...$1. I then bring them back to my lab and alter them into something like what you see before you. Now, I am ready to add my important dates and I am good to go!

On this one I added a magnetic snap to the front, not sure how that is going to work out, but it looks cute for now.

Elsie Challenge #28- Document your daily life

When I got this challenge I knew it would be a great way to document what I do most days during IVF. I had been wanting to do a layout on my IVF since it is such a big part of my life, but just could never bring myself to do it.

Well, I love "To do" list. There is just something so gratifying about making a list and then crossing things off when done, it keeps me sane! So, I decided to do my layout as a "to do" list. My four things on my list are:
1. Pop- Pill popping my pre-natal and baby aspirin.
2. Poke- 3 shots a day
3. Go- So happy my doctor is close by, I am always there!
4. Hope- Fingers crossed and just happy to still have hope after so many years.

I really enjoyed doing this layout and it even got me laughing at what I do for IVF.
