documenting our life #ProjectLife style...week 2...

I was almost late with this week. Yeah, only two weeks into the year. :/ But I think I'm entering another flare, and it was not a matter of "babying" myself, it was a matter of only being able to do so much with this much pain. But, ahhh, this brings up one of the pluses of documenting life the Project Life way--it allows you to choose the amount of effort you want/can put into it any said week (if you even choose to do it week-by-week, and goodness knows there's no reason you have to).

So, yeah, not a lot of extra effort this week. Mostly just stuck in pics. But hey, isn't that better than nothing?

The opening spread (and yes, there's an extra insert again this week...so bad at weeding stuff out):

Last week, I'd made a text box for the weekly date card, as well as for the "what we did this week" card. I saved on the computer so now I don't have to re-figure sizing and whatnot every week, but can just type in the new week's info.

The opening page:

Yep, like I said, a picture-heavy week.

Side one of insert:

And the spread with the insert flipped:

I love how adding inserts never really distracts from the overall look.

Side two of insert:

I'll probably have inserts of homeschool happenings quite often as it's such a big part of our life.

One thing I'd like to do this year include one of our favorite family recipes every few weeks. (Yes, despite the fact that I suck at food photos.) Anyway, the little "a family favorite recipe" card slides out, and contains the recipe inside.

My layouts lack the "WOW" that many Project Lifers pages have, I know that. But you know that Teddy Roosevelt quote--"Comparison is the thief of joy"--I think that's very true for me. So I'm not going to compare...I'm going to be blissfully happy that I'm saving these moments and memories in whatever form they take.
