  • Project Life – Week 28

    Week 28 was a busy, fun week for us! Although Emily's enormous pout on page one says otherwise (her best friend in freshman gym had to drop the class because of an injury).  Page one includes Libby's obsession with Louis Tomlinson of One Direction, Andrew's collection of Texas football players, a photo of Libby getting… Read more

  • Another staycation has come to an end

    ,

    My family left yesterday and another fantastic week of our summer has come to an end. I was sad to see my brother leave and then even sadder to see my father and stepmother leave. We had so much fun and the kids just absolutely adore having grandparents here. We waited all summer for their… Read more

  • Project Life – Week 27

    This was the first week in the second album of Project Life. Because my weekly spreads are two pages, I had the front side of one page to fill. So, I used the photos I took on the 4th of July as kind of an introduction page. And I love it. 🙂 This was the… Read more

  • This was a first

    ,

    After 18 years of marriage, we bought our first dishwasher. We've always had old ones that we babied along and this is one of the few appliances we've never had to buy. Can you tell that we're not appliance people? That's the last thing I would want to spend money on.  But after our old… Read more

  • Project Organize 2012 – Medicine Cabinet

    I'm completely caught up with Project Life. I still have to post last week's spread but I am caught up! Feels so good. But now what? I've been working on that for the past month in my spare time and so it took me a few days to figure out what the next big project… Read more

  • Black-and-white photo love

    There is just something about black-and-white photos that I adore. They can make the most mundane activity feel classic and timeless. 🙂 Read more

  • Ten on Tuesday

    1. I took this photo 10 days ago at the beach and my goal for today is to get back there this afternoon. However, the rest of this post may explain why that's unlikely. 2. Our dishwasher is really old. Probably about 15 years old. We've known it was dying since we bought the house… Read more

  • Project Life – 2012 Volume II

    This was the cover of Volume I of Project Life. And when the 4th of July rolled around, not only was I done with the first album, but I also realized that we were all dressed and ready to go out for the night and we had enough time to do a quick family photo… Read more

  • Project Life – Week 26

    This is the last two-page spread in this album! I can't believe how it worked out so perfectly that the first half of the year fit into one album. Those kinds of things just jazz me. 🙂 Page one includes a photo of our sick puppy (he's great now!), more Pinterest recipes I tried, Andrew… Read more

  • Project Life – Week 25

    I'm so close to being caught up on posting these Project Life spreads! Can't wait! Let's get right to it. This week was fun and quiet – we all enjoyed a lot of home time. Page one includes a picture of a recipe I tried from Pinterest (I have a huge post coming on great… Read more
