Recording us

For the past few months, I have been feeling the need to scrapbook. I still have half of Allie's baby book to finish and all of Nixon's. And I have wanted a better way to document the ins and outs of our family. I tried the photo a day things- twice and failed both times. So I wanted something not quite so stressful to me. (Making sure a I took a photo everyday was stressful to me. I know, I need help.) I liked the idea of Project Life and other products like that but again I didn't want to worry about having a photo for everyday. And then I found this template from Shabby Princess. And it just clicked. I could do my own twist on these other projects. So one of my goals for 2011 is to take pictures every week, but not necessarily everyday, to document who we are and what we do. And then I will scrapbook them using this same template. Here is week 1.

Since one of my other goals for the year is to find better balance in my life these pages will be simple like this one. But that is part of the reason I like it so much. And since I like to have a partner in my goals, I think I have Courtney convinced to join in on the project. (right, Court?)
