Without the intention of bragging, it's been beautiful here in Vegas this week (with the exception of yesterdays high winds). I knew that Wednesday was going to be particularly nice, so I told my husband to make sure to leave a block of time open for us to take DJ to his first official visit to the park. He couldn't have enjoyed the...
Week four of project life. This week was such a challenge. I was too obsessively focused on getting everything just right that I printed and reprinted, re-wrote journal cards, switched out filler cards... it was a mess. I was over thinking it and putting far too much pressure on myself. Thankfully, I'm so happy with the end result. This week I used the...
Week three of project life. I struggled a little with this weeks spread. All three of us were sick with colds all week, and thus as the weekend arrived I had barely taken any photos, and most of them weren't up to my standards of quality. This week I used the midnight edition. ...

It didn't occur to me until late last night while turning out the lights that it has been three years since I moved to Las Vegas. Three. years. Last year I had a lot to say. On my first anniversary I also found words. This year, I'm at a loss as to what to say. It's been an adventure, Las Vegas. You make...
When I saw online that Michaels was exclusively selling the new Project Life 6x8 albums I dashed out and bought one, knowing exactly what I would use it for. A one little word mini album. ...

The house is a mess. The family room is covered with DJ's toys, and if you look closely you'll find discarded cheerios on the carpet. I keep picking up sweet potato puffs from under the kitchen table and the fridge is full of food that hasn't been used to make anything of substance in nearly a week. All three of us have been...
Dear Mom, I’ve seen you around... I’ve seen you unshowered and wearing last night’s pajama pants at preschool drop-off. I’ve seen you running around with your kids, getting dirty... I’ve seen you sharing a milkshake with a manic four year old. I’ve seen you wiping your kids’ boogers with your bare palm, and then smearing them on the back of your jeans... I’ve seen...
It still amazes me that it is 2014 already. 2013 seems to have gone by in a blur of sleepless nights, diaper changes and bottle feedings. But this is a whole new year, and if you missed the announcement last month, I'm part of the Becky Higgins creative team! Week 2, as I journaled, was a very average week. A couple trips to...

Truth be told, I've been feeling a little out of sorts lately.I think that becoming a mother forces you to become someone else: the 24/7 entertainer, diaper changer, bottle feeder and washer, clothes folder, book reader, messy mouth cleaner, and boo-boo kisser. If you're not working - like me, weekends are really no different from weekdays and they all begin to blend into...
I've had a number of requests through Instagram to share my project life process, and since I adore every single one of my followers, I'm going to do just that. Photo organization I back up all photos I take throughout the week into a folder system exactly like Caylee Grey. She has an amazing post about it here, where she even shares a...
"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week in 2014"I started the 52 week project halfway through 2013, but didn't make it far. This year, I'm determined to see it through. This little guy, creeping closer and closer to the one year mark, is my inspiration. ...
