Welcome to the Book of Lists! Today we’re sharing our first list, and the topic is wishlist. (How many times can I say “list”?) My goal is to keep this book simple but still cute and fun. This was so easy to throw together and I plan to keep the format mostly the same each time, just changing up small stuff. an organized + pretty craft room wood floors to replace the carpet printer to work part-time iPad quilting stuff dining room table + chairs Uncle David’s health For the content of my list I debated whether to put small things, like what I asked for for Christmas, or larger & more important things. I went with the latter because…

First of all, a reminder – if you are participating in the Book of Lists, we’re posting our first list on Monday (December 3) and the topic is wishlist. So if like me you haven’t done it yet, work on it this weekend! And now, since today is the last day of November, I give you my holiday to-do list. I am pretty happy that I can already cross off a few things. 1. Put up household decorations. 2. Put up tree and decorate it. 3. Make advent calendar. 4. Fill advent calendar. (Decided to skip this.) 5. Buy gifts for family. (In progress.) 6. Assemble my Christmas wish list and send to family (we all do lists). 7. Decide whether…

November is diabetes awareness month, and as a nurse health issues are close to my heart. Allison is an online friend of mine who has type 1 diabetes, and because of my own struggles with infertility I am also sensitive to any difficulty when it comes to conception and pregnancy.

I’ve had type 1 diabetes for 19 years, so I know that often times people have flashbacks to the…

Be prepared because I might just be posting every day this week. Apparently I have a lot to say. Today’s Project Life episode comes from the weeks of October 21 to November 3. It’s not immediately apparent but I actually included an insert for Halloween. On the left we have a photo of our single fall decoration, a couple of Meredith’s “trial run” costumes, a celebration at the nursing home, and Lauren & I out and about. By the way I like the weekly quote cards, but they are totally random at this point and I don’t know if I’ll keep them up for next year. Here’s the insert I was talking about: I just wanted to get a few…
