LSAT Series: Pencil Messages

He's off!

The LSAT is TODAY! Hubby is taking his test as I write. 

I had no idea how strict the rules are concerning this thing. Test takers are only allowed to take a few things into the testing center and they must be in a zip lock bag. That means no notes from wives.

Lame.

However, I got creative and found a way to leave some words of encouragement anyway.

Say hello to my pencil messages! Clever right? I thought so.

I grabbed some of Hubby's trusty No. 2 pencils and wrote some good luck messages. 

Then I put them in his zip lock bag, all ready for the test. I may have to do this again. It was fun!

Good Luck Hubby! Just a few more hours and he is done!

Phew!

LSAT Series: Christmas Ornaments

Greetings from the most stressful week of my husbands life. 

The poor guy has so much on his plate. That's why I am doing all that I can to help him out in anyway. 

Including crafting for him. Seriously. 

In my family, we draw names for Christmas gifts and this year we are all exchanging ornaments. The point is to have them sent before Christmas though. But with Hubby's hectic schedule, it was just another task on a long to-do list for him. 

So, I generously decided to take over for him. 

OK, so this may be for me just as much as it is for him. But hey, I'm still being helpful right?

Since our budget as college students is non-existent very small, I was in the market for a low cost or free ornament. 

And I found it!

What do you think? Too cute right?

I found the idea on Turtles and Tails. Barb's pinecones look fantastic so I decided to give it a go. 

I didn't have all the exact materials, so I just used what I had on hand at home. The bases for mine are old tennis balls. 

Then, I just followed her step-by-step directions and had super cute pinecone map ornaments!

I printed out maps from Google of each persons favorite place or birth city. 

So easy, fun, and free!

I'm so glad I was able to "help" Hubby by taking this load off his shoulders. 

Keep going Hubby! Almost there!

LAST Series: Just Because

How do you and your spouse show appreciation for each other? Every once in awhile I like to do something like this for Hubby.

And I think he likes it...

We had some leftover candy from Halloween. Mostly Dum-Dums, which I am not a fan of. 

Hubby loves them on the other hand so I decided to leave little surprises for him in his coat pockets.

Who doesn't love finding an unexpected treat in their pocket?

Give it a try! Do something sweet for your spouse "Just Because"!!

LSAT series: Post-it Notes

I wasn't kidding when I said that Hubby has been studying like a mad man. Most of the day he looks like this. Glued to his books or computer.  Poor guy.

I decided to use the power of suggestion and put little notes all around the house. I did the same thing to help me loose weight for our wedding. I swear it works!

Hubby's goal is to get a 180 on the test. A perfect score. So I put 180's on things like the calendar and his bathroom mirror. 

                                       

Also the front door and in his closet. 

And to be absolutely certain he sees them, I put one in a spot he definitely won't miss. 

Good luck on the LAST Hubby! Get that 180!
