Over the Labor Day weekend, Mr. RCGG and I went to St. Simon’s Island, and Jekyll Island. There was an antique show on Saturday and Sunday on St. Simon’s Island that we went to and found some pretty good deals.

On Sunday we stopped by Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island! The tide was so high that you couldn’t get to the beach. There are rocks along the beach and the water was coming up over them.

This is the Wanderer memorial. It was a slave ship that brought slaves to the US from Africa.

South Dunes Picnic Area. This was where we had our wedding reception.

We did a little beach hopping on Sunday afternoon and early evening. The waves were so high that they were knocking me over. It was a lot of fun though!

I am working on another post about the historic district of Jekyll Island because I thought it needed it’s own post. It will be up soon!

I participated in Wifessionals Cara Box exchange again this month.

You can check out the NEW details on Kaitlyn’s blog by clicking the link above. She has new guidelines for the exchange.

The Cara Box theme for this month was lifestyles. You were paired up with two partners that were in the same lifestyle stage as you. 

 I was partnered up with Jessica and Mandee.  Both women are so sweet and I loved getting to know them this month. Jessica sent a box to me and I sent one to Mandee. 

Mandee just recently moved because of her husband’s job and they really don’t have a lot of time to spend together! I sent her a movie date night box with a  movie for her and one for him. I also included some movie candy, a recipe for baked ziti, and some candles for a candle light dinner! See her post here.

Jessica really knew what I would like because I absolutely LOVED everything she sent to me! 

I have been looking for a candle warmer and Jessica included a plug in scent block warmer and two sets of scent blocks! I love them so much! The eos lip balm is amazing! I actually ran out of mine recently and was going to get another one soon.  The bath wrap is so pretty and I will be taking it with us on our vacation this weekend to use as a beach wrap! You also can’t go wrong with chocolate! It is my favorite food group! Haha! 

Thank you so much for everything Jessica! You are an amazing woman and I am so glad we were matched up this month! I look forward to getting to know you more through your blog and seeing that cutie pie baby of yours grow up! 

So I guest posted on Consider Me Inspired yesterday! I didn’t even know that Amy was putting it up yesterday. So you can check it out here:

Guest Post for Consider Me Inspired

This month I am helping Mr. RCGG finish a dresser we bought. We aren’t done with it yet so I can’t show it off right now, but I thought I would let you know what is up with Operation Be More Crafty this month! I promise I haven’t abandoned it. It has just been a little busy and I have not had too much time to sit down and get the crafts I want to do done. I still am doing them, but just not on the monthly basis that I wanted.

Anyways, I will be back to a normal blogging schedule soon! 

I have been looking for a daily planner for a VERY long time. I made my own for wedding planning with printable calendars I found online and other calendar pages on Pinterest that I  liked, but they didn’t keep me as organized as I really wanted to be. I finally found THE ONE!

My friend Jen from the Etsy shop The Polka Dot Posie has created this awesome planner that you can print yourself!

The first part of the printing went great! I had no problems at all with the odd pages. It was the even pages that gave me headaches. I had to figure out which way the pages needed to go into my printer to print on the back of the previous page. After I had that all figured out I was on my way ready to print the rest of the planner. Not even five minutes into it, my printer jams and I had to print all the even pages individually! It took a long time, but in the end I got it done and I love this planner so much!

Jen has added some free printables to the planner as well!

I love how my planner turned out despite the frustrations it gave me. I can’t wait to get the other pages printed and included. Here’s how my planner looks:

This week (p.s. I haven’t started on the closet yet. That’s why I scheduled it for more than one day)

this week and next week

Thanksgiving planner I found and have included

If you noticed I only have a couple of days of dinners planned. That’s because starting this week I am making dinner on Tuesday and Thursday. Mr. RCGG and I live with his parents and I wanted to give his mom a break from making dinner every night! Tomorrow I am making baked ziti and this Thursday I am making a sausage jambalaya with my chicken etti recipe. I am subbing the chicken out for the sausage. I think it will be really good!

You can get the planner from Jen’s shop here.

I love this planner and everything that goes with it! Jen does a really great job with everything she creates! Thanks for creating this beautiful planner Jen!

I made this the other day! I am going to get it printed and hang it on our future gallery wall!
