My project 365

I've followed a number of people as they venture through project 365. Typically the essence of the project is to capture a moment from everyday through the camera lense. Well, I am going to tackle my own project 365; however the focus of my project is going to be scrapbooking one 2-page layout per day. I am going completely digital with Mya's scrapbook. I hope to get at least 1 year done for each of my children and then I may move onto our travel scrapbook, but stick with blog books for the remainder. I tend to do an adequate job keeping up with our highlights through the blog and there are a number of companies that will print the blog into a photo book. The challenging part is that our book is already 748 pages!  I'll obviously be splitting it up into a book for each year, but Wow. That is a lot of writing and pictures! I have to remind myself of this accomplishment as I find myself extremely frustrated when I look at all of Mya's pictures that I have yet to scrapbook or Claire's pages lying loose. Sadly, the images are too large for me to share them with you...

Good for you! I am so far behind in scrapbooking that I know I will have to go digital for Conor.

I was going to do the traditional 365 this year as it's his first year (and my parents request daily photos) so I will help you keep on task if you help me :)

We got your Christmas card and I have to say your girls get cuter every year! We are going to be sending out our birth announcements in the next few weeks so please let me know how to get one to you :)

Sounds great, Erin. I do check your blog daily for new pics and updates. You are doing awesome. Getting in the habit is the hardest part, but it is definitely easier doing it daily and keeping up vs. playing catch up.

I have a baby/momma gift in the works for you. Just have to get it done. Hopefully it will arrive before Conor is 1!

I'll email you our address.
Thanks!

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...
