I’m currently home from work with Meredith due to a sudden attack of a stomach bug last night that hit us both hard. It was pretty miserable but we are on the mend and trying to take it easy today. In the meantime, more Project Life catch-up! This was from September 9-22. I love the look of this spread; it’s clear and simple like I’m going for. I had limited photos from these weeks but I made it work. I had a day off all to myself, so I made a list of all the things I wanted to do that day, then cut it down and included it. I bought some house plants (yay) and Meredith discovered her belly…

I wanted to post this now before I get too far behind! I’m playing a lot of catch up here, as this was back from August 26 to September 8. Life is such a blur and I can hardly remember these weeks anymore, but then I look at this and it all comes back. I love how this project forces me to think about the events, little and big, that happen and place them in my memory. I got a new tool! It’s the SMASH label maker. It’s actually not that easy to learn to use, and it’s even harder to master, but it was cheap and I like the look of the labels. You’ll also notice that we got a…

This is August 12 – 25. Still doing two weeks at a time. This was when Meredith really took off walking. I also started my project of cataloging and organizing all of my books. We started a bedtime routine, David’s car got totaled & his parents gave us theirs, and M. turned 13 months. On the right side is just some odds & ends. I included a couple receipts from the night we went shopping as a family and a fortune I got in a fortune cookie. “Happy news is on its way to you.” I had to blur some personal journaling because it’s not my place to share it with the Internet. I only have a couple hours each…

So far still combining two weeks into one spread and it’s working well for me. These weeks aren’t my most inspired or colorful, but that’s okay. It’s what happens when I have to finish them on a week night after a busy work day. I’m just grateful for a husband who likes to take the baby on errands with him to give me some time to myself. Stuff is kind of out of order here. I took a close-up of Meredith’s feet to signify her taking her first steps, and I will probably dedicate more to her walking on the next week since that’s when she really took off. On the bottom is a picture of David and I when…

I combined the last two weeks into one spread again because I really wanted to get caught up. Most of this was centered around Meredith turning one. This isn’t the primary spot that I’m documenting her birthday (there will be a blog post about her party next week, a scrapbook we made, her baby book, and her birthday book) which is why I didn’t do an insert. Here we have one of her 12-month-old pictures and updates, a movie ticket stub from the date David and I went on, a photo of M. on her actual birthday at dinner with David’s family, a clipped-in Instax photo of us with my uncle who was in town, and a cute picture from…
