The Season of Anticipation
My kids attempt to stretch out the holiday season more and more every year. I've been putting them off for weeks but with Thanksgiving over and December arriving tomorrow, it's finally time. And so the season of anticipation is upon us. Here's a few happenings that have us all anticipating right now. A special arrival… Read more

2014 Week in the Life | Saturday & Sunday
We've had family here all week and have shopped until we dropped. Now it's time to cook, rest, be grateful for the family we'll be spending Thanksgiving with, and then get ready to make merry. 🙂 I'm so happy to finish posting my Week in the Life album just in time to get ready for… Read more

Week in the Life 2014 | Friday
My kids talked me into doing a December Daily album (yes, Emily, your pleas worked!) so I need to finish posting my Week in the Life pages so I can move onto posting both Project Life and December Daily pages! Friday was Halloween and neither of my girls would dress up or go out so… Read more

Don’t be jealous!
Our kids are responsible for quite a few household chores. They all have dinner chores every night and they also have weekly chores. We rotate every few months so nobody has to do the same thing forever. Plus it's a great way to teach the younger ones how to do the harder chores and to… Read more

Let it snow!
Winter found us very early this year. We had our first snowfall on Halloween and I kind of blew it off. It was early but we've had snow on Halloween before and then nothing until after Christmas. I should have heeded nature's warning. Two weeks later and we had a couple of inches fall one… Read more

Week in the Life 2014 | Wednesday & Thursday
Every time I go through this album, I fall in love with it just a little bit more. I’m even contemplating doing a December Daily album in the same format. I’m not sure I’ve mentioned it before but the album is a 6 x 8 album and it’s my first time using this size. And… Read more

Looking for the joyful moments
This has been a hard year. Really hard and stressful in a lot of ways. And it's not over. But when I found myself at home again this fall and not working like I had planned, I felt drawn back into scrapbooking. Which led me to take Ali Edwards' photography class "Lens of Joy." It's… Read more

Week in the Life 2014 | Tuesday
I didn't mean to get so far behind on posting these but oh my, I've been so sick. I got my second cortisone injection in my left thumb on Tuesday morning and am just now back in the land of the living. I had a terrible reaction to the pain meds (which is not unusual… Read more

Week in the Life 2014 | Monday
I have loved doing this album so very much! I will happily admit, though, that I’m not going back to traditional scrapbooking anytime soon. I bought Ali Edwards’ kit, including the white 6 x 8 album, but as you’ll see, I really didn’t use a lot of the paper products that came with the kit.… Read more

One of these things is not like the other
I had a quiet weekend planned – a little grocery shopping, laundry, and some housecleaning, but mostly I was hoping to spend more time on my Week in the Life album and the Lens of Joy photography class I’m taking. So this was how it went. Working on composition and white space. A little… Read more
