Project Life {week 27}

I'm still going strong with Digital Project Life! Seriously, I don't know why I didn't switch sooner! For me, eliminating the step of having photos printed was HUGE. 

Week 27 was a fun one! Mason read his first story on his own. He's becoming such a great little reader. The boys are loving our school time and are really enjoying all the great Sonlight stories that we've been reading together. We also headed up north to my parent's cabin in Happy Jack! The boys had an excellent time playing and exploring outside in the cooler weather.

Anyway, here's the left side of the spread...

and the right!

We had such a great time escaping the Phoenix heat and heading up north. So many memories were made that I just couldn't fit them all in a page, so I made an extra spread! 

We can't wait to go back!

Project Life {week 26}

I still can't get over how amazingly easy this Digital Project Life stuff is!

Last week was a good one. Lots of memories being made and documented. We were able to see some more pictures of our little one last week and they just MELTED our hearts.Unfortunately, we can't share her photos on social media, so you'll have to imagine her sweet little face under the big LOVE sticker! ;)

I think the amazing part about our photo album is that when our little Sweet P comes home, she'll be able to see that she was part of our life even before she got here. That we loved her, thought about her, prayed for her, and already considered her family.

With that being said, I am trying my best to remember that I have two little lives right here before my very eyes (three, if you count my handsome hubby) to be pouring my time, energy, and love into. I don't want to be so consumed in the adoption process that I miss out on these special moments as a family of four. It's a tough balance to maintain though when a piece of your heart is about 9,000 miles away.

Well, I've rambled enough. Here it is, week 26 of our Project Life album:

Project Life {Week 25}

Some of you may know how much I adore project life. I started documenting last year and it felt SO good to finally be printing my own photos and actually putting them in an album.

This year I've noticed that I've been slacking when it comes to printing photos which causes me to be behind in my album. I'm also not that great when it comes to planning out my layouts, so I end up printing waaay too many photos than I actually need which isn't a terrible thing, but not super cost effective. I'm also really terrible at filling out  the journaling cards. I always write stuff down in my planner, but since I'm bad at planning out my layouts, I just always think "I'll journal later." Ya, not really working out for me. 

I needed a solution to continue Project Life without wasting money and getting super behind. Luckily, there is such a thing as DIGITAL Project Life. I think I have found a new love. Last night I actually completed last week's spread...complete with journaling! I love that I can visually see everything laid out and can make changes topictures...without even printing them.

My plan is to print each page on 12x12 paper every couple of months and add them in my existing PL album. At first I was annoyed that my album would be half physical and half digital, but then I realized at least it will get finished. The memories will be documented. That's all that matters! 

The fun part is I can easily share my spreads with everyone! 

So, here it is...week 25:
