Monday Morning Cobwebs on the Brain

Well, it's 12:33 in the afternoon in my part of the world and I am finally beginning to wake up. Perhaps it is that I'm finishing my third cuppa or that I've just given my body fuel in the form of food, who knows. What I do know is that many of us suffer from Monday morning brain malfunction as we attempt to get back into the swing of things.

Since I can't seem to focus on one thing for any length of time on Monday mornings, I have decreed Mondays as my official comment response and blog hopping day. What better thing to do when your brain hops from one thing to the next anyway? Today I'm hopping over at Naptime Review. She has a stunning number of blogs linked up! Go visit.

Mondays = a brain full of cobwebs

However, the morning has passed and I'm on to the second thing that will assist me in having a relatively productive week: making my to-do list. This includes scheduled posts and generating ideas for more (posts about gigantic house spiders, school uniforms, gorgeous places to visit in England, etc), school-related things I need to remember, budgeting and bill-paying that need attending to and menu-planning. Get the list done today and I need only review and revise it for the rest of the week. Do yours now, too.

I know that as an (occasionally) aspiring domestic goddess I should love meal-planning, but I don't. I have found, though, that it makes for gloriously easy lunch-box packing in the morning and dinner prep in the evening. I've got the lunches down and I'll share my menu with you later this week. Now, I've got to tackle dinners!

As the last of the cobwebs clear from my brain, I'm excited to announce my first vlog! This week I'll post my vlog review of some groovy sunglasses I received from Firmoo.com. I'll also be posting my first printables and I'll attempt to clean up my blog a bit. I think I need a full redesign, so if you're a designer looking to feature your services, I'm willing to use and review them!

Have a wonderful Monday and we'll talk soon! Speaking of talking, do you use Skype? It's my new favorite thing. It's so much better than a phone call!

Oh, and if you haven't already, go sign up to win two great books by Victoria Simcox.... thanks!
