we will: September!

I have my September goals planned... only 9 days into the month lol


This amazing photo was taken by daddy. He's amazing with a camera, I just rock a phone camera ;)

project life: how I've neglected you...

So I'm so far behind in project life.. like 2 months...
I have a few post it notes for the journaling but I need to print 37 photos, not including daddy's photos, and I have over 28 snapshots of the album to upload and show everyone. I'm just going to post a few and show how things are going.
this will be super duper photo insane. I'm going to work on weekly posts ;)


You love to help with pl... 3x4 grid cards are perfect for it.


a journal heavy week full of talking points and planning.


I'm still loving the sharpie/smash pen combo! It's become a regular thing now.


Keeping it simple here! Oh and I'm discovering the stickers that are added in the kit.... AND I LOVE THEM. How it took me 11 months to figure that out idk lol


Love this photo. Great dad/daughter shot. You can so translate this convo but I love the talk bubbles. I tried an American Craft white pen to write on the photos. I love the look its just not as smooth as I would like. I'm going to continue to look around for another white pen or give it a second go.


this is a handwritten recipe from my grandmother. This was a huge find when we went through some of her stuff. She was an amazing cook who ran 3 different restaurants in her time. We thought all were lost when she passed away.


LOVE this photo mash-up!! its the mommy/daughter combo I came across looking through old photos. 






All classic combos full of heavy journaling and photo combos. This was just great everyday life poss


I had fun doing this 8x10 photo/product collage. Love those fun unique page add-ons. 





daddy had a fun guys night catching a concert with uncle john. 



One of my most lived by quotes. 


As always loving Ali's png word files. I really need to pick some more of these up!







Yeah that just happened.. 1 spread for 7/22-8/25.


This is what happens when you decide to help with project life ;)


This page I'm really wanting to add the video code that you can scan to watch the video on your iphone or android app... I just have to get those photos printed!! 


You and Daddy are working on letters and your name. You guys are having fun making pictures together... this is probably one of my most valued add-in I've put in project life.


I'm leaving everything after these little sneak peeks off.. I'm working on getting everything else added in. I'm keeping it simple and letting the kit do the work for me.. that's what its there for. I'm going to catch up and finish this last month out... and I'll officially have a complete entire year project life album. Bucket list goal check off!! Also its the longest most dedicated project I've ever done. 

Feels Good. 

Making History- Columbia first SEC game...

Our home town is making history... 
We have become the only town in Missouri to make it into the SEC. 



The Southeastern Conference (SEC) is an American college athletic conference whose member institutions are located primarily in the southeastern part of the United States.
 The Missouri Tigers took on 7th seated Georgia Bulldogs today. As a family we aren't big into sports anymore, but we are strong supporters of local teams. 


Columbia was on fire today and the town was united and buzzing. Sadly we dropped the ball in the fourth quarter and ended a sad score of 

No. 7 Georgia 41, Mizzou 20




Hopefully we will recover our spirit and prepare for the rest of the season. We've jumped up to the top teams out there!! We will prove ourselves and hold our own.
