PROJECT LIFE: Mother’s Day
02Jun
I don’t usually use a lot of pink in my layouts, so this page is a bit different for me, but I really love it! It all started with the pink handmade card my son made me.
I went to my stash and pulled some pins. I especially love Dear Lizzy’s Lucky Charm paper with the flowers on it. Then I added some letter stickers and enamel dots from Simple Stories and some wonderful words I found on pinterest and Voila. i was done!
Supplies include:
Hoppin’ John
01JunMy husband loves his black eyed peas! Making a batch of these babies this week. The recipe is from Fine Cooking, Dec 2012/Jan 2013 issue. Instead of using chicken broth, I am using my homemade vegetable stock. It has tons of flavor! I bought loose dry black eyed peas from whole foods. We’re serving it with some organic collard greens and Carolina Rice.
Enjoy!
PROJECT LIFE: 2014 Summer Bucket List
31May
This year I want to be really intentional about our summer. What are some things we would like to do? I find that if I make things intentional they don’t remain on the bookshelf of my mind as a “that would be nice to do” task that never gets done!
I came across The Happy Family Movement Summer Bucket List Challenge and knew immediately I had to do it! There are things we’d like to do as a family and things we’d like to do individually. I’m going to include all of it.
1. Take the Farm Tour
2. Watch Fireworks
3. Achieve Silver status at Young Living
4. Read 20 books
5. Have a Picnic
6. Go Fishing
7. Eat S’mores
8. Watch a Baseball Game
9. Get Conceal Carry Permit
10. Spend the Day on a Boat
11. Take a Trip to the Ocean
12.Visit Grandpa and Uncle David
13. Vacation with the Raddi Family
14. BBQ at Dee’s house
15. Eat Icecream from an Icecream Truck
16. Go Hiking
17. Visit 5 Waterfalls
18. Go to the Zoo
19. Get a Pedicure with Dee
20. Make Sun Tea
I want to include this activity in my Project Life Album, so i made a cover title card for it. Each activity till have a card with it so it’s easy to spot throughout the album. I can’t wait!
