list 4 : i’m good at

March 4, 2013

This month’s Book of Lists topic is “I’m good at.” This was an encouraging thing for me to think about right now because the last month has been kind of crazy and I haven’t felt all that good at life. But I know that’s just the stress and in reality I am good at a lot of things.  mothering singing organization nursing (both kinds) keeping in touch getting enough sleep routines There are more little things that I know I’m good at but these are the ones that came to me and encompass a lot of my strengths. On a side note, I think I look sickly or something in the Instax photo I took, but I love the way Meredith’s eyes…

project life 2013 : weeks 3 – 4

February 13, 2013

Thanks for all your comments and encouragement on my last post. Each one meant so much to me. I’m feeling a little better about things and I know it will keep improving with time. But now on to Project Life. I’m playing catch-up right now (what else is new), but I’m still loving the whole process. It’s therapeutic for me. I relied heavily on my notes for this spread because the weeks have been blurring together. I’ve been tweaking my note-taking process so I’ll have a separate post on that soon. Week 3: This was the rough week where Meredith was throwing horrible tantrums every  night and we were just doing what we had to do to get by. My…

list 3 : perfect day

February 4, 2013

Well it’s time for Book of Lists, and the topic is “perfect day.” I chose this topic a month ago when I was anticipating my birthday (which is tomorrow) but now it just seems ironic since I’ve had such a difficult start to the week. My heart is heavy because my beloved uncle, my dad’s twin, passed away yesterday. He was sick and it wasn’t entirely surprising, but he took a downward turn very quickly that we didn’t expect. I have so many thoughts and feelings but mainly I’m sad. Just going through the motions with things for now, so to occupy myself for a short while I made my list to reflect my ideal perfect day. sleep in 70…

project life 2013 : weeks 1 – 2

January 28, 2013

It’s my first spread of the year and I’m loving it. I printed the photos for these weeks before I had really decided how I want to process and edit them going forward. I wasn’t sure that they would work with my vision but I think they did fine. It really helps to keep within the same color palate – I’m trying to lean heavily on the core kit to keep things looking cohesive and to simplify things for myself. If you ever wonder where I got a specific supply please ask! I don’t plan to share all the details in each post but I will gladly tell you if you want to know. Week 1: We spent most of…

mother-daughter friendship bracelets

January 25, 2013

I got it into my head that I wanted to make matching friendship bracelets for Meredith and myself. I used to whip these up constantly when I was young but haven’t done it in years, so I actually had to pull up a tutorial to relearn it. It was easy and I finished in a few days. Meredith has gotten so many compliments on her bracelet and I just love having that physical reminder of her on my wrist throughout the day. I don’t know how long they will last since we never take them off and they get wet pretty frequently, but we will probably wear them ragged. 0 Like
