Week in the Life : sharing samples + giveaway

My 4-year old was SO EXCITED to get to pre-school today (they were having fire fighters in to talk about fire safety) that he got ready for school, put on his shoes, and buckled himself into his car seat -- without me saying a WORD about it! Wonderful!

Im so inspired to take on this challenge...just need to get my act together :)
Best part about today- that first hug and Kiss of the day I get from my daughter!

oooh, what fun givaways! Something good about today? I'm not babysitting today, and we rode our bikes to kindergarten! It felt nice to get out of the house. :)

One of the many good things about today is this beautiful fall weather! I love it!!
Thanks for the chance to win a fun give-a-way!!

Hi Ali
Today I am having a "mummy and Ben" - a whole day spent with my beautiful 5 year old to do exactly what he wants to do. We can't wait.

Loved looking at everyone's books-they are so different.
A great thing today was getting some photos proofed that I had put off doing. What a great feeling of accomplishement:)

I love seeing everyone's interpretation of the project. I can't wait to get my American Crafts album, supplies and pictures in the mail so I can get started!!

Today is beautiful, the colors outside are amazing!

i actually remember this morning as I got a chance to braid my 4 yr old's daughter's hair in two braids while she watched pbs and ate strawberry "Joe's O's" with fresh raspberries from our garden - how truly lucky i am- and thought "if i was still doing a week in the life- i would have taken a picture of this moment." The question is- would I have noticed the moment if I hadn't done a week in the life? Maybe not. But because i noticed it- for any reason, i was a little more grateful, and a little more ready to handle the stress of the day today.
Thanks, Ali.

something good about today? I spent the early morning at our local farmer's market and purchased: fresh fruits, fruit tree, sampled fruit and arrived home to our back yard admiring nature and being thankful for having a two week vacation from work (education). Enjoying the moment!

My kids slept a little late today- past 7 am instead of the usual 6 am. So I got to sleep late too!
And I love seeing everyone's albums!

I got to "judge" the visual media & photography contest at my boys' school! This year's theme is "WOW"! And, WOW it was!!!! These kids are so talented!!!! I was blown away at their photography! And, their use of color & various mediums were AWESOME in the visual media category! Also...today is the FIRST day I got to wear a sweater and a coat! Mmmm...FALL!

The best thing about today is that it is gorgeous and NOT 90 degrees here in Houston! I am prepping my Week in the life album so I can complete it at a crop this weekend... and the best thing about tomorrow is that I AM going to win this giveaway. I can feel it!! And even if my intuition is wrong, I'm happy to be playing along!

I got to they gym this morning. I saw a friend.
Love the project ideas. I can' wait to put mine together. I just have to finish my layouts for Cathy Z's Design your Life, then I can play with my week in the life.

Spending the day with my son. In 3 months there will be another little one, and days like these will happen less.I really have to cherish these last months, just me and him for some alone time!! :-)

Something good today? Hmmm...I won't have to cook tonight cause I'm going grocery shopping and will just pick up something! Ha!

After walking my son to school on a really beautiful morning, my daughter and I went home and on a whim baked some cupcakes to enjoy after school. A great start to a great day. :)

I'm going to finish my month-end report early--hooray for me!

The BEST part of my day was that I got my First Mammogram and an Ultrasound done! Just the Second of Three steps in hopes of good news.

Even though we received some "not so good" news today about my father in law's visit to the Mayo clinic....I am thankful for today and for life!
Spending time with my 5 children and getting to know my almost 19 year old step-son...and getting a phone call from my favority uncle who lives too far away for us to visit more than once a year!
Thanks Ali for the wonderful "week in the life"...can't wait to get my album done so I can share it with my family!
