Project Life Week 7

I was really looking forward to doing this one with all the fun Valentines PL stuff out there. :)

Project Life Week 6

Project Life Week 5

I'm still loving this way of recording our daily life.  It's such a great way to incorporate p365 with everyday thoughts, quotes, ext… :)

Project Life Week 4

I know, I haven't posted a menu yet… we had extra from last week and (I'm kind of) winging it right now.  I AM cooking meals though. :)

Anyway… here's week 4 of project life.

Project Life Weeks 1-3

I have loved doing project 365 so much the last two years!  I really loved the first year I did it and how I made a book and we have something to hold and look at.  Last year I kept up with p365, but kept it all on my phone (if you don't have the Collect app I HIGHLY recommend it! It's great!!).  I've been working away at scrapping 2013 and I'm hopeful that I might actually get done with it at some point.
Anyway, I started doing p365 again on my phone this year, but I decided I really wanted to be able to print it out again, and I wanted something that wouldn't take as long as traditional scrapping.  After seeing a bunch of pages by friends on Instagram I decided to give it a try.  So far I'm really loving it!  It's (maybe?) a little quicker and easier than scrapping, and it's a way to blend the everyday with the special moments that I would have scrapped anyway (hello meeting JT SNOW!!).
At the recommendation of a friend who's been doing PL for a while I started "week 1" with the first 4 days of the year (and actually the first picture was at 9pm on New Years Eve), that way my weeks will always go Sunday-Saturday from here on out.

So here are the first 3 weeks, memories recorded and ready to be printed in a book at the end of the year! :)

Hopefully I'll be able to keep this up and I'll be posting my pages here once a week(ish?). :)

Happy 2014!

I'm back!

I'm really having a hard time with my stay-at-home-mom responsibilities lately.  Don't get me wrong, I love being a SAHM, I just don't want to do the work.  Plan meals, ugh... and I really don't want to cook them.  Cleaning?  Eh… I'd rather do something crafty, or just relax.  That's not to say that I haven't been feeding my family, or that my house is filthy.  I've just been slacking a bit more than I should.  But I've realized that taking care of my family is my job, and when I don't do those things, I'm not doing my job very well, and that's not what God wants from me.  So, I've made it my goal to get back to being better at those things I've let slide.  To give my best to planning meals, and to cook them in a timely manner.
Part of that is getting back to posting a weekly menu, because once I started slacking on that it really went downhill from there.  So, my menu for the rest of the week…

Wednesday- Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

I'll be back later with a post about project life that I'm giving a shot this year. :)
