Day Four of our Week in the life series. I've learned a lot about our lives so far. We eat fairly healthy most of the time, play a lot, and leave the less important things to do later. I love our life. I really do. On Thursday, I woke very early. The Boy was awake, remember he slept at his "base camp" in the living room. When The Texan left for CrossFit, The Boy woke up. I heard him saying ...
Week in the Life – Wednesday
Woo-hoo! I am chugging along in this week in the life project. It's so fun to work on this, and take a closer look at our wonderful life and how we're living it. It goes without saying, that September 11 is a day of reflection. A time to be thankful for our lives, our loved ones, and our military forces. The Boy spent the morning at school. Learning and growing. Exploring and making ...
Week in the Life – Tuesday
In yesterday's Week in the Life post, I talked about how I'd wanted to complete a Week in the Life project last year but didn't get around to it.

When we look back on this in ten years, I'll want to see what we looked like and ...

But, please do keep in mind that a handmade project ...
Week in the Life – Monday
I've talked briefly about Project Life and how it's helping me to document my family's story. Through Project Life, I was exposed to the talented Ali Edwards. She designs digital scrapbooking supplies, shares her creative process, and passion for her children over on her blog. Each year, she orchestrates a Week in the Life project. Last year I wanted to do it, but didn't. This year, I am all ...
Building Stronger Friendships
A few months ago, I wrote about the difficulty that I've experienced making friends in our community. You know, making friends is hard, especially as an adult. When I sat down to write that post, I was full of anger and hurt towards one particular person. It was boiling inside of me, and I had to get it out. It felt good to write, and I came away with lots of advice! That friend's wedding is ...
