LOAD Day 20

Man has it been one of those days. Kids are still not in bed because I let them nap to give myself a break. John + Comet Cleanser = TROUBLE. Today’s page: This is what I did to relax while they napped. It’s based on a layered template by Jen Caputo. Journaling reads: You guys…

LOAD Day 19

Off to take a bubble bath. But first Journaling reads: Bending, I jammed the spade into the soft dirt. It wasn’t quite warm yet, with the night temperatures still dipping into the 30s, but it felt good all the same. “Here, put this into the hole,” I explained, handing the bulb to Olivia who was…

LOAD Day 18

Tonight is date night if the weather cooperates. Mom is coming to watch the kids, and Matt and I are going to Outback and Barnes and Noble. I knew there was a deadline to get this one done especially since LOST comes on tonight as well. I’ve tried to choose photos that capture what I…

LOAD Day 17

Was working on taxes for most of the day – yuck.  Did manage to squeeze out this layout even with RCIA. Journaling reads: our year remembered 2008 A year of growth, a year of change, a year of family. We welcomed new babies Jake, Macy, and Blake  and said goodbye to old friends Helen and…

LOAD Day 16

May be back later, but for now Journaling reads: 2003BK (before kids) Found this photo the other day and my first thought was, “My how young and relaxed we look!” I immediately felt a little guilty, because there was a brief longing for the lifestyle we led when this photo was taken. See this photo…

LOAD Day 15

So tired. Got lots done today, but last night was brutal. Praying John will sleep tonight. For reasons related to lack of photos I skipped a few days. I will do those days for the album and either take a photo or not have one. Didn’t think a text-only page was quite fair for LOAD,…

Caps for Sale Unit

I wanted to start sharing my preschool units on the blog. Partially for accountability (We had such fun with the last one it is a shame it took me so long to plan this one.) and partially because someone out there my benefit from everything I pulled together. This one is based on the book…

LOAD Day 14

Never enough hours in the day… This is the story of an evening spent cropping with a friend. I was working on the project above – my clipboard for Library of Memories as a matter of fact. Matt was home with the kids and wasn’t doing so well. At that time John hadn’t been weaned…

LOAD Day 13

LOAD has done so much to help me remember why I love this hobby. Busy day. The kids are gone to spend the night with uncle, aunt, and cousins. We have some chores to do tomorrow, but I hope to spend time blogging about some topics. Today’s layout: Journaling reads: His little body melted into…
