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…

It’s been a couple of months since I’ve been blogging regularly, and it was a much needed break for me, but I’m ready to jump back into it. For better or for worse, blogging is a part of me and I have a connection to this space and to many of you that will stay with me forever. The break served its purpose though – I fulfilled all of the goals I set out to accomplish with it. Yay! I also caught up on some crafting, read many books, started precepting a new hire at work, got a lot of sleep, spent some extra time with my family, and went on vacation for a week to visit some of my…

Right now we are nine hours into what should normally be a ten hour road trip, but we are turning it into something like twelve or thirteen. All of my strategies for driving this far with a 15-month-old toddler only get me so far as she has decided not to nap any more than usual. It will be good to arrive. We’re spending the week with some of my best friends, meeting babies & showing ours off, visiting my alma mater, and just generally enjoying fall in the Midwest. I am so excited. And so grateful to David for bearing with me. When I come back to real life next Monday the blog will be in full swing again. Thanks…

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…

Hey, I have a new blog design. It’s simple & clean. It has my handwriting. It has a pretty pink. I like it. My blogging life is slowly but surely getting to where I want it to be. *** Time // 10:45 a.m. Place // at home on the couch Eating // dark chocolate m&m’s Drinking // had some coffee, now wanting some water Watching // nothing because I’m trying to FOCUS. Last night though I got Meredith to bed early and I turned on my recording of Dancing With the Stars. I barely paid attention to it & I really don’t have the time to devote to it anymore. I guess I’m over that show for now. Reading // The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I like a…
