I am trying to get back into scrapbooking. I have so many photos and stories that I need to catch up on. To help I have found a new group Stick it Down who provides challenges and has given me that motivation to jump back into the rhythm. I used their May Single Page Sketch to create this layout of what life looks like for my teenager right now. I used their sketch found here to create sections of this pie chart representing things she loves: basketball, her music, art, friends and family, "I'm so bored" aka chores and school,…

Phew I did it.. all 7 days. In hindsight I think "not bad for my first year" I know next year what to do differently. What different pics I missed out on this time that I want to remember for next time.. but all in all I am very pleased. I think I captured the essentials of what our life currently looks like... or close to it. I got the words down and the pics taken. So for me, that's a win. Today's pics and words: Started like most this week. A few mid morning feedings, as usual baby cakes…

I woke up at 243am and wander to the bed. I sneak into the bed careful not to wake a quietly sleeping baby! As I slither under the covers I look over and ask myself "when did I become a co sleeping parent?" NONE of my other babes were given this status of being able to sleep in the bed with me time after time, or nursing to sleep. I am sure I am setting myself up for trouble but she can't sleep in the nursery with Kelsey because Kelsey refuses to sleep and instead goes bonkers and jump up…

Snuck in a quick hug at 350am when the boy finally came home after a long, long summer away. I am so happy to wake up and have the whole family together again. My heart can resume it's normal rhythm. Shipped Kelsey up to get a morning hug, she was sooo happy to see "buh-buh" and he happily awoke after only 6 hours of sleep to see her and everyone else. Everyone slept in late... even kelsey. She isn't feeling 100% so it was nice to sleep without interruption until now! I decided to run out and grab chocolate chips…

I have to admit the mundane things are being neglected this week... not because I am not keeping track of them I am not doing them. Typically I do several loads of laundry per week, cook at least one or two dinners, and straighten stuff up. I won't lie my last shower was on Tuesday... it's just that kind of week. But don't fear I showered this morning, I promise ;) The day started as normal... early 730 wake with littles and then napped again until 930am. I am becoming a morning person. I NEVER used to be a morning…

Same ol' same ol start, too early of a morning... baby feeding and then a hope for a snooze on the couch. John went for a short run... this marathon training ain't for the birds! He left by 1030 for work- a lot of playing these days as work is just not what is used to be. A little bit of Doc McStuffins for the little. Then a nap.. for all of us. 137pm: After naps I finally gave Kelsey her new Super girl / Princess set I bought months ago... she loved it! 212pm: It was a late lunch…

Today was a little bit easier to document..although I forgot a lot of pictures it was all about survival and getting through the busy moments. Being as how I didn't go to bed until Tuesday was already in progress this was a bit of a surprise 352am. She is lucky she's cute! I don't know how she figures out I have to be up early in the morning but she sure makes sure that sleep isn't top priority! 721am Taryn came home from her sleepover. All night I wondered if it was a test of my parenting or of her…

So I had this GRAND idea of how this week was supposed to go, the pictures I would take, and how it would all come together. I had originally decided to do it last week because I felt inspired so began the heavy documenting and photo taking. Then about half way through the week it fizzled. John left with kelsey and it was just me and Taryn. Then Taryn went to LA with my sister for some auntie time... see where I am going with this. I ended up giving up *sigh* another project down the tubes. Then the official …
