starting a monthly photo series of the kids to serve as title cards in this year’s Project Life using these templates from Paislee Press. enjoying the extra time at home I’ve had this week due to Liam’s most recent illness (virus turned secondary bacterial sinus infection). putting the last of the Christmas decorations away. attempting to unsubscribe from the Madewell newsletter, because they send promotions every day and I’ve been unable to keep myself from buying these and these (but my unsubscribe attempts don’t work for some reason). drinking cafe mochas. researching what to make with fresh lemons since my  neighbor gave me a bunch she cut from her tree (thinking about trying this). planning Liam’s birthday party which is in just…

january 2015 goals

January 5, 2015

one little word 2015 : LIGHT

January 1, 2015

As I’ve mentioned a few times already, this year I am taking part in Ali Edwards’ class One Little Word. I have been following Ali for years so I’ve been familiar with her approach of taking on a word to help guide your intentions for the year, but I never felt compelled to do it myself until now. A couple of months ago I was going for a run around my neighborhood and listening to a podcast – I am pretty sure it was this one where Jess Lively interviewed Ali. They were talking about the one little word concept and all of a sudden the word LIGHT popped into my head. It felt very clear and I just knew…
