Sycamore Sisters: 10 on 10

Hi Sycamore Sisters' Followers!

We are starting a new segment on our blog. It is going to be called 10 on 10. We are going to post 10 interesting pictures, activities, and/or anything that we have done over the last month. Our first two 10 on 10 segments will be about the Sycamore Sisters so you can get to know us a little better! This month you are going to find out more about Julie...enjoy!

1. Devotionals. If I start out my day with few minutes of quiet time, my day just goes better. Do I get this done all the time? Absolutely not, but I do notice a big difference when I do! This year, I am using Jesus Calling by: Sarah Young and Grace for the Moment by: Max Lucado.

2. Basket Case. I love baskets. They are all over my house. They help me stay organized. I like them because they are a pretty way to store things and they are portable so they can easily be moved where you need them.

3. My Calendar/Planner. I am obsessed with my planner. I love it! It is my life saver. I put everything in it. I really would feel lost without it. This year I am using a Life Planner from Erin Condren. It is the most organized planner I have ever had. Sometimes, I just open it up and stare at it! Ha! Obsessed!!!

4. Lip Stuff. I have a serious addiction to lip stuff. I have so many different kinds. I have been known to just wander down the lip care aisle at Target. I use it all the time. My purse is loaded up with more than I need at all times!

5. Super Sensitive Skin. I have crazy sensitive skin. It has always been like that! I have learned to live with it. There are far worse things to deal with, so I don’t complain too often. I have found two products that make a huge difference in my life! Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream. I couldn’t live without them!

6. Caffeine. Seriously, I have to have it. I would be non-functioning without it! I love a warm cup of coffee in the morning. I usually switch to iced black tea in the afternoon. I love my Iced Tea Maker. I brew a pitcher every couple days.

7. Kindle. I love to read. It is how I relax and escape. I just recently purchased a Kindle Touch and I love it. I was afraid I wasn’t going to like it because I love holding a book in my hands. I haven’t had any problems adjusting! I love it! I love being able to snuggle up with my Kindle and dive into a book!

8.Downton Abbey. My new obsession! I am new to this series but I am in love! I love the whole thing...the characters, the clothes, the accents, the amazing scenery, everything! If you haven’t starting watching yet...do it!!! You will not be disappointed!!

9. St. Patrick’s Day. It’s kind of a big deal around here...we are Gallagher's, after all! We love to celebrate our Irish heritage! I also grew up in a family that celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. You know...Lucky Charms for breakfast, green milk, all green clothes. In fact, this year my parents are having us over for our annual corn beef & cabbage dinner along with Irish soda bread & Bailey’s Brownies! We can’t wait!!!
