Winter is almost over!! Spring is almost here!! It is time to make our March bullet journals! I love this time of the month, but this month I actually had more trouble with picking a theme!
March does not have as much of a defining holiday as some of the other months, and that is normally what I base my themes off of, so this month was a little different. I decided to do a house plant theme, since it is almost the perfect time to get some new plants to fill my apartment!

I started out my month with the usually cover page, but before I made that page, I decided to add in a doodles page to get ready for the drawings I'd make throughout the month. This theme page allows me to see the color scheme and doodles I will include, in case I need options!
For my cover page, I drew various plant shapes in hanging pots coming from the top of the page.
For the green and brown colors I used my Crayola SuperTip Markers, and for the black "March" title I used a black TomBow Dual Brush Pen.

This next page is my favorite page to make, mostly because I get to come back to look at it. I love seeing what I did throughout the month; it is like a mini diary! Sometimes I write somewhere I went, someone I saw, something I did, or just something that made me happy that day. I wrote the numbers over the box, and I will write over them on each day. I started doing that style in February, and I like it!

For my Mood Tracker, I decided to draw one larger house plant, and each leaf is a day. I drew the leaves in pencil, and each time I fill it in with color, I will outline the leaf in black and add the date. The reason I did this is because my black gel ink pen can frequently bleed when I use markers on top of it.

For my Habit Tracker, I used the same layout that I did last month, but with different colors, more boxes, and different habits to track. This month I added the "ate out" category to track how many times I bought/ ordered food or went to a restaurant. I spend way too much money on food!!!! Tips?!!?

Next up is my sleep log, where I used the same layout I normally do, but with a different title. I wanted to include the plants again, but without using the hanging plants like in the other pages. I chose to use the leaves with each letter in each leaf.
With this tracker I want to track how many hours of sleep I get each night. My sleep schedule has not been great recently, and this tracker will hopefully help with that. Becoming more recognized with our own sleep schedules is the first step to fixing them!
I might start tracking naps as well!

This next page is a page I have never done before, but it would be fun to look back on. I will probably make this a usual addition to my bullet journal months!!
Each day I am going to track which weather dominated the day. I have sunny, cloudy, raining, and snow. I have numbers 1-31 in the far left column to represent each day of the month. After each day, I will fill in what the weather was under the corresponding category.

This is another page I did not have last month, but I have made this page before. I do not know why I always leave it out. It is a super fast and easy page to make, while giving me a reason to smile each day!
I drew straight lines with my Crayola SuperTip markers to define which lines I would write on.
I definitely recommend adding this page to your journal, as it feels great to write happy things down and if you ever need it, you can come back to these pages to remind you of happy things!
Overall, I enjoyed making my March Bullet Journal, and I am loving the green color scheme! I am already thinking of what to do for April, but I know I need to slow down and enjoy the month.
Comment what themes you all did for your bullet journals this month!!
