I started Project Life last year and was very passionate about it for the first 15(ish) weeks. I’m hesitant to even share this post, because I may fail, again. If you’re not failing, you’re not trying, right? I’m going to try really hard to finish this time. I LOVE digital scrapbooking–it is a creative outlet that never fails to de-stress me. And I LOVE having scrapbooks that my kids can.. Read More
It’s Friday!!! This has been the LONGEST week coming off Spring Break. I’m ready to sleep in tomorrow, at least a little! As is tradition around here on Friday’s, here are a few of my favorite pictures from my camera roll. Silly girls at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Not sure what these facial expressions are about, but that’s what happened. Sam-I-Am and his green eggs and ham. Sister photo.. Read More
Alarm goes off at 4:45. I literally roll out of bed, throw on a few clothes, and meet Anna for our morning run. Baths, ponytails, breakfast, and then we are out the door by 7:15 for school. My day starts off with some computer “stuff” before I have classes. I had to make a music CD to use during our morning news broadcast. We had construction workers adding A/C to.. Read More
Our original vacation plans only included 3 days at Universal Studios. It really hurt my heart that were were going to be SO close to Disney and not see Anna and Elsa, who just happen to be our favorite. If you’ve ever been to Disney though, you know that going for only a day is much more expensive than going for several days, so it just wasn’t in our budget… Read More
We left Saturday morning around 5 am and began the LONG drive to Orlando. We stopped at the Florida sign for our traditional photo. Don’t you love the “Open For Business” sign above our heads? 🙂 We didn’t get to our hotel until late, so we spent the first night just getting settled. Shout out to the Hampton Inn–it’s our favorite. We try to stay at one whenever we can… Read More
Digital scrapbooking is the way to go. It’s super simple if you don’t have “time” to play around, but then vast enough that you can add-to your pages as much as you want to. For this album, I downloaded Ali Edwards page templates and simply plugged my photos in. Easy peasy. I didn’t include much journaling at all. My plan is to have journaling inserts for each day. Here are.. Read More
6:15 a.m. Hit snooze once. 6:25 a.m Fly out of bed because I’m supposed to meet my friends for a run in 5 minutes 🙂 6:40 a.m. 6 miles in 49:01. (I’m trying to brag, but then Justin reminded me that 6 miles is LESS THAN HALF the distance I have to go for the half. Shot down my ego real quick.) 7:45 a.m. Walk in the door and head.. Read More
6:45 a.m. Alarm–Sleeping in this morning 🙂 7:15 a.m. Getting ready for K’s game. Messy makeup drawer. 7:45 a.m. Shin guards, check. Uniform, check. Soccer cleats, check. 8:00 a.m. Soccer player and loudest cheerleader. 8:15 a.m. Always be prepared. Notebook in hand, crayons in pocket. 8:30 a.m. Gametime. K scored a goal, her 3rd of the season. She’s on a roll. 9:00 a.m. Halftime. There is some serious work going.. Read More
4:30 a.m. Hit snooze once. 4:40 a.m. Hit snooze twice. 4:50 a.m. Finally get up and head out for my run. This photo is the line I can stop at when I do sprints. I have a love/hate relationship with this line. 6:10 a.m. Text message from Carrie. She took this picture last night during the parent meeting. So sweet. 6:30 a.m. Bedhead. The girls have started sleeping in my.. Read More
6:00 a.m. Everyone up. Girls and I all jump in the shower to start getting ready. 6:30 a.m. Breakfast–cocoa puffs for L, mini pancakes for K. 6:45 a.m. Our morning jam session–that is Footloose we are listening to. The Blake Shelton version. 7:15 a.m. The outfits. 10:20 a.m. This shirt was seen at school today. While I really appreciate the idea, I don’t think it’s appropriate for a 2nd grader… Read More
