  • Project Life – Week 8

    Welcome to Week 8! This week was a fairly basic week for Project Life for me. The left side of my layout was a Design F page and I think I’m getting used to using that page protector. I find that I like it better when I balance out the color of the weekly title… Read more

  • Libby’s Scrapbook Albums

    , ,

    Here's just a quick peek into some of the layouts that went into Libby's albums. It's an interesting look back at her life and my scrapping style. Both are a bit hysterical.  She filled up two huge albums with her layouts and it looks like I'm going to need to get some more! I took all… Read more

  • Organizing scrapbook albums

    , ,

    We woke up on Sunday morning with no plans for the morning. While we missed our usual routine at the food pantry, it was also nice to have a lazy start to the day. After breakfast, Libby pulled out one of our scrapbooks and then commented that she didn't know where some layouts were. I… Read more

  • Two at the same time?!

    ,

       Do you know what those are? They are recorders. Every child has to learn how to play them at some point. I understand that and there is a tremendous value in learning how to play instruments.  But two kids at once?!  I'm off to buy industrial-strength earplugs.  Happy Saturday! Read more

  • Project Life – Week 7

      A very busy week led to very few photos taken and just a wee bit of journaling this week. Not exactly how I normally do it, but that's okay. It's a true reflection of our busy week and that's what Project Life is all about.  It was simple to put it all together –… Read more

  • How To Make Strawberry Jam

    ,

      I am not a food blogger and don't aspire to be one but here's a quick and easy way to make strawberry jam. I learned how to make it this past summer and we haven't bought jam since. We are all totally addicted to this and my kids think I'm a super-star for knowing… Read more

  • Pardon the Interruption

    Pardon this interruption to my regular blog posting. But Libby informed me that we are “on our last jar of strawberry jam!!! Please, please make some, Mommy!” This is truly an emergency at our house so that’s what I’ll be doing today. 😉 Back with Project Life tomorrow! Read more

  • All it takes is one day

    ,

    My house was spotless on Saturday. And then I spent Sunday on the couch sick. All it takes is one day of Mommy being sick for it to all fall apart, right? Even my Project Life desk is a mess. I tried to work on it yesterday and gave up after about 10 minutes. I shoved… Read more

  • It never fails

    ,

    We had company here all week with lots of extra activities, plans with friends on Friday and then hosted a family party last night. I kept crazy hours all week long and never sat down to relax. And it never fails – after a week like that where I go, go, go – I crash… Read more
