The Summer List 2013 - Review Part 1
I cannot believe this Summer is almost over... its been on of the busiest Summers we've ever had... so much going on and so many fun activities. I know I've said it before and I'll say it again... I love doing a Summer list... I really feel like it helps me be more aware and more mindful of cr...

my struggle
Sometimes posting personal stuff on the internet is awkward... but its real life... everything isn't always perfect... so as awkward as it is I'm putting it out there... this kit is great way to document the not-so-perfect times in life! Kit: From Struggles to Strength by Fayette Designs
Thank you for sharing this... I unfortunately know the pain of several failed IVF's... and the begging and pleading and hoping "for just one more" baby... I appreciate you sharing... Infertility is a crappy, lonely experience... and while you wish others weren't going through it... its nice to know you're not alone.
I wish you and your family all the best.

*tap tap* Is this thing on? It's been a while, hasn't it? I am behind by two birthdays and a vacation. And that's just scratching the surface. We moved, Matt started a new job, and the school year ended. Life's been a bit crazy these past few months, but the dust has started to settle and yet ...
Lori! I just saw this comment... I don't know how I missed it but I'm so sorry!!
I didn't make the nativity... my cousin designed it and sold it at a couple of craft fairs... i don't know if he still designs them but when I see him again (not sure when) I'll ask him.
So sorry its taken me nine months to respond. I'm so sorry!

Life: the iPhone version
Life updates from iPhone pictures... 1. We had a croup scare with baby. I thought it was croup. My mom said it sounded like croup (as she listened to him cough over the phone). But I just didn't know. I hate that. I always second guess myself. It was getting late and I didn't want to go i...

a Halloween PL freebie
I worked on my Project Life this weekend and found myself wishing for just one Halloween themed journal card. I didn't need a whole set, just one to add to my album. So I created two (because I couldn't decide which would work better) and then thought I'd offer them here for my readers to downlo...

33 RAKs for 33 Years // report
After a weekend of pampering I decided to switch gears and spend my actual birthday not so focused on me. See blog post - 33 RAKs for 33 Years. This was a pretty great experience. I highly recommend it. My goal was to complete 10 (item #82 on my 101 in 1001 list) . . . but I was on a roll and m...
Looks awesome! I agree with you on the chores (no $$)... but I also like how if they don't get paid then they don't get treats, etc.
Love all your ideas!!

I am beyond excited to be doing Project Life this year. It's a scrapbooking project without all the extras that come with modern scrapbooking. As Ali Edwards says, "It can be anything you want it to be." Daily, monthly, whatever works for you. The kids and I tried doing it two years ago and on...

Last Saturday, the girl had her first date. And I am so old. It was the Homecoming dance and she was asked by a skinny, gangly, nice boy in our ward. I think it was his first date, too. He reminded me of AP Boy with fewer social skills. He came to the door while she was with friends one night w...
