sample of project 365

I'm debating whether or not to start another blog. Yes. I know. It's getting out of control. I guess for me it's more of a filing method. I like having my pictures in one place with the writing, so when I'm ready to scrapbook, all the info is there.

Anyway, here are some "days" that will be in our book. I'm loving this project and highly recommend it! It's kind of a pain to remember to take a picture every single day, and sometimes I don't, but it's only been a month, and I'm loving all the memories being preserved.

I'll go backwards.

Tonight, we completed a homework assignment for Chelsea. They read a book in her class called "Thunder Cake", about a young girl who was afraid of thunder storms. One night, during a particularly scary storm, the girl makes a special cake with her grandma to help her with her fears. At the back of the book is the recipe for the thunder cake, so Chelsea wanted to make it for FHE.


Sunday, Michael put his sock on all by himself and was so proud. I was able to capture the concentration in progress for the other foot. (By the way, his potty training is COMLETE! He goes #1, #2 all by himself now, of course he has to call me in to show off his accomplishment) YAY!!!


Saturday we went to a pet store that has booths set up inside. You pick a pet you want to play with or "get to know" and they bring them into the booth with you so you can have some personal time. We will be getting a dog someday, but our current rental home doesn't allow pets, so it will have to wait. We also want a larger dog, and these were all of the smaller breeds. THe kids loved it, and chelsea got particularly attached to the fluffy black one. I just liked it because of it's breed name: peek-a-poo! (hee hee)


Friday we finally got to make our friendship bread that has been 10 days in the making. Michael really loves these kinds of sweet breads and would eat the whole thing if he could.

Thursday I have two pictures, that I haven't decided which one I will use. in the afternoon, Michael was trying to prove how big he was by trying to pick Chelsea up. LAter that night, I caught them jamming away on the piano. Aren't they so cute?!

Happy New Years!

Welcome to 2009 everyone! I love how a new year gets everyone all pumped up to start fresh and work on improvin ghteir lives, even if it lasts just a few months, a few weeks, a day or even a few hours! :) Although I haven't written mine all down, I've got a list in my head that I want to work on.

One, I'd like to share, is journaling.

When I was about 12, I was an awesome journaler. I worte everyday for at least a year, and then every couple days for the next few years. However, since I got engaged, it's a once every couple months things. I hate the feeling that I'm not recording some very special things that happen in my life and even the not-so-special things that I would like to remember in the years to come.

I'd like to present my solution for 2009:

Project 365!



This is a kit I just ordered from Creating Keepsakes. The idea is that you take a picture of anything, every day, for one year. With this kit, they provide a little card where you can journal, or not, about that picture. For those days thahttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gift the journaling might be more extensive, they provide cards that fold out, to make more room for your writing. Some days, you may not need to write anything, after all..."Pictures say a 1000 words!".

To read more about it, go here There are other entires of her blog where Becky Higgins explains the project more thoroughly.

Anyway, I'm super excited about this, and hope that it will help me document the year of 2009, big moments and small.
Anyone else out there doing this?
