pop of color

With nothing but white out the windows for 2 months now it’s good to have some bright colors in the house to look at. And eating my vegetables has never been easier. It’s reassuring to eat lots of bright green food, to remember that in other places things can still grow. One of the most fun quotes Tim and I remember from Oscar’s birth is the midwife telling me that if I had been a pioneer on a wagon train I would have died in childbirth. I think she was trying to be positive? This Winter is another one of those if you were a pioneer you’d be dead sort of reminders.

in the house

I need capturing-this-moment-in-the-home shots for my PL album this week. I took that as an excuse to photograph, instead of clean, my house after the kids left for school.

But yes, I did at least toss the apple core.

Christmas in February

I switched out my PL boxes for my Christmas PL stuff for the weekend. I’m trying to get Christmas 2013 on the books and off my to-journal list. I think I should have just journaled it as it happened but I thought no, I’ll leave it til after the holidays when I have so much time. Ha! When will I learn there is no such thing.

Hello Midwest friends! The rest of you I'm not talking to. I'm pouting. Stuck in polar vortex 2 lockdown over here. Another endless weekend of cancelled school days. I'm working on my project life album and my cross stitch. I rearranged my desk to fit all my journaling supplies and think I'm on to something. It's all about having every single thing at your finger tips. I was thinking about trying to make a bigger desk somehow and am on pinterest looking for good diy ideas. Tomorrow we break zero and I'm headed out to forage for supplies. Can't wait!
