week in the life 2014 : some thoughts on the process

November 6, 2014

Last week I decided to take part in the intense documentation project called week in the life that was started by one of my favorite memory keeping bloggers, Ali Edwards. Here are some thoughts on my first time taking part, along with some of my favorite photos from the week. Early morning list-making and coffee-drinking. She had just woken up. She is attached to this dog and blanket right now. / Liam at the doctor. Nebulizing. Bible study and nursing. A sticker Meredith gave me that I had forgotten was there. / Punching the code at daycare to pick up the kids. My current desk at work. Computer time while David was on kid duty. It was a gorgeous day…

I have some more home life Instax photos to share! These are from a couple months ago and then I took a break from this project, but after this I have one more round and then I’d like to make an album for them. >Liam in the kids’ old room >Where the play room used to be >Ice cream break >In the high chair >The start of a gallery wall >Homemade pizza >Reading in bed >Breakfast tacos >Moving rooms >A corner of the kids’ new room >Craft room >Meal planning

project life 2014 : weeks 41 – 42

October 29, 2014

Here is my Project Life spread from October 6 -19. It has a hint of fall to it (even though we are still nearing 90 degrees daily, but let’s not go there). I wanted to mark the season somehow, so I put a photo of our fall mantel right at the top center. The rest of the left-hand side is mostly updates on Liam. On the longer journaling card I wrote kind of an overview of the two weeks. On the right-hand side are a few pictures from our trip to the pumpkin patch, and a few everyday photos. I have fun making my own filler cards when needed, but I usually end up doing something super simple like this,…

the project life app : a detailed review

October 22, 2014

Y’all know how much I love Project Life if you’ve been reading for any length of time. Well, if you haven’t heard – there is now a Project Life app! It’s $2.99 for iPhone and iPad. At first I wasn’t sure that I would really use it. After all, I like to have a physical album. But in the end I couldn’t resist purchasing it, and today I want to give you the lowdown on what it’s actually like and ideas for using it. Let’s go screen by screen to see what it does! When you first open the app, you have the choice to watch an intro video or not. Later, the video doesn’t open but you can find…

project life 2014 : weeks 39 – 40

October 15, 2014

Yay! Another spread that I am happy with. I’m still culling my photos so that I have more white space and journaling in each spread, and I’m loving it. I’ve also been using the Project Life app to plan and it is helping immensely! Next week I’m going to have a comprehensive look at it for you guys. On the left side we have a picture and story from my first 10k, a couple books I read, a classic #toddlerfashion, and just a plain ol’ cute pic of Liam and a pretty sky. I liked typing up some of my journaling in PSE this time. On the right side: the kids playing outside, at the toy store, journaling about our anniversary…
