It's a planning morning today! Planning the blog It's a planning morning today!

Planning the blog and free lessons for OBL and the riding plans for the riding school, and just getting myself organised after the busy Christmas period.

For my business/general life Filofax, I ordered the new personalised calendar with the Inklink and I am loving it. Went with the week on one page and a lined Page on the other - FABULOUS!!

I also started daily journaling this year and I am finding it totally relaxing, getting everything down into paper.

We journaled last year, but we have decided to journal TOGETHER this year. 

Getting things down on paper is going to calm us before bed and to get things out of our heads. 

We are also going to be entering our Language Learning Bucket List activities and of course a language learning weekly prompt. Plus of course some nature study🌳 and let's not forget our book📚 and pony riding tracker🐴
