Welcome to another week of Project Life at Elle’s Studio!
This week’s Project Life covers the week of September 10-16th.
This week my focus was to go a little more in-depth in my journaling. I am trying to do less of a “this is what we did approach” and really focus on telling deeper stories in my Project Life album.
I used my 3×4 journaling spots to share a little bit more about what is going on during this week. I touched on the fact that my daughter has resisted wanting to go to preschool this year. Something that came unexpectedly and we are working through. I also shared about how she asked about 9-11 and that moment when I had to give her a (very watered down) explanation of what happened that day eleven years ago.
I included an insert for just our weekend, so that I could tell more stories. We went to a political event and my husband and brother had an opportunity to pray over a candidate for US Senate from my state. It was a powerful moment and I went in to detail about what happened that night. Often when I go into more detail on a journaling card I end up using the backside as well.
The back-side of the insert showcases a milestone for my son- he learned to ride his bike with no training wheels that weekend. I shared about the story of how he learned to ride a bike.
The right hand page shows two specific photos that I told a different story than expected. The top right is a picture of my daughter asleep on the couch at my husband’s work. Instead of stating just that, I shared that this was the hour before her ballet class (which is now in the afternoon this year). There has been a big shift in our after school activities and it’s been an adjustment for our family!
And finally, we took the first trip to our new library since moving. I made a list of all the books the kids picked out to checkout. I know it will be fun and interesting to look back and see what book choices they made.
Today we have a giveaway! Leave a comment here for a chance to win an Elle’s Studio Prize Pack. The winner will be announced next Tuesday!
