project life--week 1

i'm starting project life again this year. if you've never heard of project life, go visit becky higgins blog. i think it's a wonderful way to scrapbook/document your life!
i've tried to do the picture a day concept and sometimes that gets overwhelming. so this year i'm going to focus on what our week is like rather than a specific picture to go with a specific day. (and just to clarify--i take pictures and journal for the current year, but i put my album together at the end of the year when i have the new project life kit. that's just what works for me!)
linking up to the mom creative.

here's week 1:

working on a recipe binder. getting rid of folders filled with recipes i don't use and organizing everything into a cute binder.


cosmo climbed up in the chair and was sitting at the table like he expected me to serve him breakfast! silly cat.

i found a cute red purse on sale the other day and have been trying to think of different outfits that would coordinate with it. today i put this old navy shirt and sweater with some skinnies, red flats and pinned a red flower i made on an old navy necklace.

a book i am reading right now, borrowed from my friend michele.
it is so good--very emotional. based on the true story of the tsar nicholas II and the bolshevik revolution.


chris really loves coffee made from a french press. we only had a little one, so i bought a larger one the other day at marshalls. i also got some yummy coffee at whole foods (decaf for me) and now we enjoy our freshly pressed coffee! that's the mug mckinlee made me for one of our anniversaries. i love it.

this girl is so into makeup these days. chris says he thinks she's going to be a makeup artist when she grows up! she used her allowance and money she had been given and placed 2 orders from elf. they both arrived on the same day and she was thrilled.

all of us gathered around the fire and chris' computer for our family worship evening we have every saturday night.

yay! week 1 is done. only 51 more to go!

  4. You looked so cute with your red purse, flower & shoes. You must "dress up" every day! I must get McKin to help me with my make up---maybe give me a new look! Your family worship pic looked so sweet & cozy. ----Mom
