Documenting a pregnancy

I decided when I fell pregnant that I would refuse to fall into the trap of doing nothing for baby boy #2 as he is out second child. I want him to have the same documented memories as Flynn did and so I have made sure that we did the same weekly pregnancy shots as we did for our first pregnancy. Something I am doing a little differently is I am also journaling a little each week, this will be great to look back on over the next few years as you tend to forget so much once the baby comes along.
I try to keep up to date with this project every Monday night and then when I get my photos developed I put it all together in the album. Sorry in advance for the terrible photos but these were the best I could get. So here are a few of the layouts I have completed, this would also be a great project to do for a new baby or as a beginner scrapbooker as a little book like this (6×6) is really easy to put together.

Looking forward to receiving my kit.

I know a lot of you ordered a Project Life kit and I was so excited to received the update email last Friday to say that the kits were on their way !! I am so looking forward to receiving my kit and getting started on this years amazing journey. I loved doing the project last year but there are a few things I want to do differently this year in an attempt to tell more stories about what we are doing. This year I journaled when I got my photos developed and put them in the album, this was ok but it meant that the stories were not being told in the moment and as I would usually do 1-3 weeks at a time.

So I am going to change a few things for this year.

Weekend fun at the Lake

We had such a fun time over the weekend : ) We went up to a Lake about an hour away from our home to have a picnic and go for a swim. Flynn had such a great time, he had this gorgeous smile planted on his face all day, it was so sweet. I love doing family activities where we just all hang out together, it was a day of family and friends and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend our Saturday. These are the days that enrich your memories as a child and the ones I want to make sure we create with Flynn.

On the blackberry …

I think it is so cute that at 2 1/2 Flynn loves talking on the phone to everyone : ) Whoever I am talking to he wants to have a chat to and he is getting better and better and having conversations on the phone. I often wonder what kinds of technologies he will have available when he is all grown up !!

Cutting up fruit

I love summer fruits : ) There is so much variety and every time I do the shopping I am able to get something different, you can never get bored of the fruits in summer. I find the same with fruit in our house as I do the vegetables- we are much more likely to eat them if they are washed and cut as as soon as we get home. I spoke about cutting up your vegetables a little while ago in this post but I just wanted to post this photo of this very yummy fruit salad as a reminder that this system works really well in summer as well for your fruit. …READ MORE

New Routines

For the start of the new year you might want thing think about establishing a new routine- consider what worked for you last year and what areas you really struggled in. If the mornings are hard for you make a morning routine checklist and include a list of the things you would be able to get done the night before to help alleviate that extra stress. I made up one of these last year you might remember this post. I put this sheet together 6 months ago and since then our circumstances and routines have changed a lot and so with the start of the new year I have made up a new list for the mornings.

With the help of our previous list we have have become a lot more efficient in the morning and there is a lot less stress involved in getting out the door now but there is still room for improvement. I still want to get more done the night before when I have more energy. Once you have decided what area you struggled most in last year write up a routine of how you would like this to work in your ideal scenario. Consider buying a clipboard and either magnetizing it for the fridge or sticking it up elsewhere in the kitchen where it can serve as a daily reminder for you. Review the Routines throughout the year and re-write them if you feel like they are not working for your family.

An update on baby #2

I went for my 20 week scan this week for baby #2 and I just wanted to share with you a few of the precious photos we were able to get during our scan. We were very happy to hear that we have a very active and healthy baby boy growing : ) He is the perfect size and is growing really well, everything looks perfect. I love that moment when they pop up on screen and especially at the 20 week scan where you get to see so much detail of the little person they are becoming. We were lucky enough to get a 3d shot this time (the photo on the right) even though he was sucking his thumb!! It is amazing how much love you feel for them even at this early stage.

That Cabinet

So A few of you commented/emailed me regarding the cabinet in my last post so I thought I would post a full photo of the front on and where you can buy it (I am nice like that LOL). The cabinet itself is purchased as individual bookcases from Ikea called Liatorp it is actually 3 bookcases and you get the capping which goes along the top to make it loot like one cabinet so you can attach as many as you like. You then add the doors we did solid at the bottom for messy stuff like vases and Flynn’s china and glass at the top for the “pretty” stuff : ) We love it and it works really well for us as extra storage in our living room.
