Life Inspired

So I really need to be cleaning my house..doing some laundry or something
I keep telling myself I will when Ms Lyla goes down for a nap..but we all know when she falls asleep..i am two mintues behind her...

anyway..while she has been watching Mickey Mouse .. I have been playing on the computer.

I found Becky Higgins Digital Project Life..and I am so thrilled!!
I absolutely love how easy she makes it ...all you have to do is snap pictures and write about them.

Great way to keep track of memories!

I have got mine started..and I am so excited about it.
She has a scrapbook kit..with the papers and all that...but I didn't want to order it..because I don't have time to shave my legs...more or less sit down and actually scrapbook.
So the Digital version is easy cheesy for me...I just upload my pictures...which go quick by the way...throw them into the designated spots...write a few words...Done!

Then when you get it all finished...you can order your whole book for $99!!
It gets printed for you...all in a nice book..and shipped to you...
Now how much easier can that be..
I'm in love!

On Becky Higgins website she had an inspiring Life video to let people know that life doesn't have to be "exciting" to take pictures everyday...take pictures of everyday things...laundry (which I swear I am fixing to do), your fave resteraunt, your child's fave toy...anything...anything in your life...those little things are the things we forget the fastest...so take a picture of it..throw it in a Project Life book..and remember it forever!!

Here is the video...I have to post it!!



I hope you are inspired...and if I find out how to share my Project Life book..I will...cause I am pretty dang proud of it!!

I hope you all stay warm...because in Arkansas...it is FREEZING!! literally

ok.now off to start laundry...
ha ha




EDIT:
here is the link to my book..
Go check it out...
It isnt' finished..and I am still playing..so don't judge me...
But i hope you start your own..so we can Project Life together!!

Slow Down Sunday

Well..i had really planned on starting my own meme called Slow Down Sunday.
Where i wanted to hear everyone's stories and maybe encourage some families to take some time out of the busy day to day life and slow down to hang with family..or friends..or just yourself!

This is week one..and i hope it catches on..because we all know that we get caught up sometimes and forget to slow down.

but..my week one..

wasn't very slow...
after church today i get a text message from my mom..that said "we will be over in a couple hours..we are ripping out all your carpet and getting your laminate flooring!"

what?

like..now?

awesome..so i got to work on emptying out rooms...we are doing the scrapbooking room and our master bedroom!

my sunday was still spent with family..and we enjoyed every minute of it...but it was a busy one!

Here is the work done so far.....

awesome ..isnt' it?

now i have to pick out paint colors?

any ideas..suggestions?

please!

color themes...show me pictures of your scrap room....

i need inspiration!

Link up ...show me your stuff...tell me how you slowed down on Sunday and enjoyed your day!

My craft room inspiration!

I love the desk in the middle of the room..i like the black furniture..the color of the walls...very serene!

i also like how happy and cheery this one is!

i can't wait to get my scrappy room back and move all of Lyla's stuff back to her room!! Now i just gotta convince Gregg to build me a scrappy table!

Football season is coming up ....

Hunting season is coming up...

I might just go buy a table...cause it isnt' looking good for me!

Joining the Gym..aahh!!

ok..so if you are a regular reader ...you would know that my little girl turned two a few weeks ago...

if you didn't know that..you need to start reading my blog more...you will miss alot!

Now that she is two...I got to thinking that no one is going to believe the reason i haven't lost my baby weight is because I JUST had a baby...she is out of the baby stage and on to the toddler/preschooler stage...

so ..here i go ....again...to the gym!

I start Monday...right off the bat!

they have a class at 5am...to get your day started but i don't know if i am that excited about the gym...i will go to the one at 4pm though...after work...after a full day of work...with children...i don't know...maybe i will to tired...

is there a class around 6?

no

that would be supper time...dang!

maybe around 7....no after supper is bath time then bedtime...

well i don't have time to exhaust myself anymore! sorry!

No..I HAVE TO GO!!

 I can do this!!!

I can do this!!

i CAN do this!!!

not at 5am ....
