four days 4 parks

I came across this layout on Pinterest and thought it was the perfect inspiration for a title page for our photobook. I followed the general idea of a single photo & simple journaling for each day of the trip. Then I changed things up a bit for my own design. Loving how it turned out.

FlipsAudio Solo 2 Social Review

I work in an open office. No longer in one of the cubical spaces in the center, but my new office only has 3 full walls and then opens to the rest of the room. This means it can get a little noisy at times even with music flowing through my small computer speakers. I had been debating headphones for the times I really needed to block everyone else out and focus. So, when I saw a chance to try & review a pair of Solo 2 Social headphones from...

First Flight

Our flight to Orlando in early May was Dylan's first flight. Minus the fact that Trent wasn't with us (he was already there for business), I am glad this milestone waited until now. He was old enough to understand and get a bit excited about the whole thing. He did surprise me by spending most of the flight coloring or drawing and only looked out the window a few times. Supplies: En Route papers by Erica Coombs; Fly Away with Me elements (stitches...

reunited

Dylan & I flew to Orlando on our own last month to meet Trent who was already there for business. He managed to get to the resort before us. After Dylan & I got off the Magical Express, we passed through the lobby and toward the pool area looking for him. The excitement as he spotted his dad was priceless - pure joy. Probably my favorite moment from our trip. Supplies: Spring Freebie Collection by Just Jaimee; Photo Clusters vol 2 by...

Porch Lift

We finally checked off the remaining big item on our house "to do" list. We still have quite a list, but it's all cosmetic now thank goodness. Our front door and porch are inset and do not have a roof overhead. This isn't a big issue except that the concrete settled over the years toward the front door resulting in a nice puddle in front of it every time we had a decent rain and water seeping into the garage. It appears someone attempted to fix...

Animal Kingdom: drumming

During our visit to Animal Kingdom, Dylan spied a grouping of drums and quickly joined other children in playing them. I love the joy in his smile here - definitely one of the highlights of his day.
