It’s time for Book of Lists! Still loving this little project. When it came down to it I really didn’t have all that much to put on this list! Just the basics. my phone something to read lip ointment God In the picture is Lanolin, which I use on my lips, the book I’m currently reading (The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler), and my phone. I hate the case it’s in and I’m super excited that I have a new one on the way. Each month when I get out my Instax camera to take a picture for this project I’m reminded of how much I love it.

Before I share today’s list I just wanted to say that I still love this quick and fun monthly project. I know I don’t have many people participating, but as I was putting this together (in less than 20 minutes) I was thinking about how perfect it is for me. It’s extremely fast and easy to do, something I can work on even when Meredith is around. It gets me using my Instax camera that I really enjoy but tend to forget about. It’s an excuse to play with paper and washi tape and write with my nice pen. And it captures a snippet of life at the moment. I am planning on sticking with this indefinitely, until I lose…

Well it’s time for Book of Lists, and the topic is “perfect day.” I chose this topic a month ago when I was anticipating my birthday (which is tomorrow) but now it just seems ironic since I’ve had such a difficult start to the week. My heart is heavy because my beloved uncle, my dad’s twin, passed away yesterday. He was sick and it wasn’t entirely surprising, but he took a downward turn very quickly that we didn’t expect. I have so many thoughts and feelings but mainly I’m sad. Just going through the motions with things for now, so to occupy myself for a short while I made my list to reflect my ideal perfect day. sleep in 70…

First thing: Happy birthday to my husband David. He’s the best and I love him. <3 *** Welcome back to the Book of Lists! Today’s topic is “looking forward.” As you can see I kept the same format as last month. I still love the way it looks and how easy it is to put together. I decided to keep it simple and just talk about the things I’m looking forward to right this moment. starting on a quilt next date night Lauren moving to Katy (2 days!) Rereading LOTR Holding conversations with Meredith giving her a sibling I got this shot from my Instax on the first try! So happy that it was easy this time around. A quilt…
