5: 00 AM // My alarm goes off and I get up immediately. I have been restless for awhile because I have a headache, so it’s not hard. Although I try not to overmedicate myself, there are some headaches I just need help with so I take some ibuprofen. I know that if I sit down to do Bible reading right away I won’t be able to focus, so instead I make breakfast and coffee while listening to the pray-as-you-go podcast. 5:15 AM // I sit down to eat my breakfast and do my daily Bible reading and say a few prayers. 5:46 AM // Read a canto of Dante’s Inferno. 6:00 AM // I tidy up the kitchen and…

Welcome to a week in my life! This is a yearly project that I haven’t done in two years (oops) and I’m excited to bring back. This is a fairly normal week for our family with a good mix of things going on. I am personally fascinated by other people’s day-to-day lives, so I hope you enjoy this peek into mine! 5:10 AM // I wanted to get up by myself, but Liam is awake too. We went to bed early last night because we had an exhausting weekend and the time just changed, so I’m not surprised that he’s up. We go sit in my chair and I begin my Bible reading. Since June I have been following a…

I’m officially finished with my 2015 Week in the Life album! And after today, you’ve seen it all. I thought I would put it together faster this year (theme of my life), it took three months, but that’s an improvement over last year! Anyway, here is what Sunday looked like: I got photos of all our meals for this day! The story of my disastrous morning. Ah, life! And church got a full page because it’s a big part of every Sunday for us. This spread was our entire afternoon and evening. Shopping with the kids and my friend Lauren, and then dinner at my in-laws’ house. A summary of a typical bedtime, and I couldn’t think of a better…

Saturday in the album! This is one of my favorite days. I love the colors and we had a family adventure that makes me happy to look back on. That morning was rough but I got up and got going. Got the family ready to head to the beach. Simple pages. I love this spread so much. It shows our adventure in a nutshell; the weather, the drive, our family, and on the other page – our beach time. I just punched holes in the parking tag and put it right in. The rest of the beach adventure, and then baths because, of course. Then the wrap-up of the night complete with tantrums. Just life! Supplies used: Week in the…

Just wanted to share a quick week in the life album update! I’m so close to finishing this project. I’m just keeping it simple, as with all of the other days. This particular day I did all of my journaling typed out on photos and journal cards, so I just added a few small embellishments here and there. Mostly perforated word strips from the kit. This was a crazy day at work, so all of my photos came from the morning and evening. Which is fine, because I’d rather not relive that work day anyway. ;) I remember being so totally exhausted at the end of this day, but now looking back at these bedtime photos I feel kind of…
