Weird Holidays

One day, on Pi Day(3-14), I thought to myself," I wonder what other weird days, like Pi Day, exist".
So,naturally I look it up on Google. NOTHING. Either I am a bad researcher or I worded it wrong. Today I researched it again and finally, I've found it.
Click here to check it out.
 I really love to celebrate crazy holidays! Which one is your favorite?


Well, anyway, sorry I haven't been on in a little bit. Like I said, this is a busy month and, and to make it harder to blog, my computer broke. Lovely, right?(I was being sarcastic if you couldn't tell.)
Thank you for reading! I hope that you like a few of the days and actually celebrate them.

Nature Clipboard

I recently went to a wildlife conservancy open house where we saw beautiful birds and got to have a REALLY fun scavenger hunt. For the scavenger hunt,they had mini DIY clipboards with a list attached.I really loved the idea so I decided to make it and share it with my readers.

Materials:
-A stick about 6 inches long
-a piece of cardboard (thin) 8 in. long,5 in. wide
- half sheets of paper(Note:If you are having a scavenger hunt too,print the list on the half sheet of paper before beginning)
-1 rubber band
-hole punch

First,punch two holes (1 on the left,1 on the right)into both the cardboard and paper.Next,insert one side of the rubber band through the left hole. Then,pull it along the back into the right hole.Poke the stick through either small loop,then through the other.It should be that the stick is in the front,the rubber band in the back. You are done!Here are some pictures to show you how it looks:

Busy Bee

April is here.When you think of April, do you think of spring?Do you think of beautiful flowers,breezy days,or rain? There's only one problem with it. It is probably my busiest month of the year. I know busy months are hectic and you may feel like you have a gazillion things to do.

 Try some of these tips:

-Make a list.
Lists are easy ways to keep track of everything. Put everything you need to get done on a list.Plus, when you accomplish one of your goals, you check it off that long list and you feel like you did something productive that day.

-Get a Calendar or Planner
   I love knowing what day and time things are. If it's a jam packed day,I know what to prepare for. Using the calendar app on your phone works well because it provides you with reminders/alerts. The apps also work well for on-the-go people.

-Give Yourself Something To Look Forward To
How do you work through a day without looking forward to something. I also find something to look forward to. A yummy dinner, a getaway activity,or getting home works.

- Find The Best In Things
Being crabby doesn't help. Try to find something you like in the mix. Maybe every thing you are doing,you love.  Or maybe it's the opposite. Or maybe it's a mix of both. Whatever it is or how much you like it, make it BETTER.

- Me Time
Take time to do things you love once in a while. I don't know how someone can get through a whole month not doing anything fun or doing anything they love to do.

   Okay,I wish you good luck through the rest of busy April!
