week 7 2015 [planner decoration]

So I missed week 6... I write these a week after they happened, and week 7 was incredibly busy.  I didn't get much blogging done in week 7.  My family had no school Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and then the following Monday.  When everyone is home, I prefer to spend my time with them.  So my schedule is all …
