Monday Memory Keeping ... back to school!

Hey there! Today is the First Day of School for my kids ... both in Middle School again this year, one in 7th and one in 8th. I think this is the latest First Day of School for  us yet. So ... for me it was "time". For them ... not so much. They are never happy to see their carefree days of summer disappear. I don't blame them.


In September, I am always happy to get back into a routine again. I hope they settle in to their new routine over the course of the week as well. (It usually takes a few days ... but once they get into the swing of things & get to see their friends ... routine becomes the new normal rather quickly.) Can't wait to hear how their day went, later this afternoon!

This morning I have two digital project life style layouts to share with you. This one is about last week and preparation for going back to school ... I documented the little things like getting haircuts, back to school shopping and organization of supplies. I used the new Maggie Holmes Flea Market Mini kit (on sale this week!). It is darling and I can't wait to use it again & again!

This next page features Amy Tan's new Digital Project Life kit, Cut & Paste. Also on sale this week. Feeling nastalgic about the summer ending, I used it to document highlights from June. Love the way this kit is so soft & muted, yet still so colorful! Awesome!

Memory Keeping Monday ...

Here in the US, it is Labor Day, which usually marks an end of the summer and a return to school in NY. But this year the kids have a weird back to school schedule and will be home for another week. Today it is thundering, lightening and pouring rain ... my pooches are gathered at my feet, one on each side, waiting for the storm to pass. Since we are just getting back from vacation ... we opted for a quiet weekend at home, aside from Saturday's soccer tournament. It would be nice to go out for a run or a hike, together as a family, but the skies look angry today. I think it will be more of a family movie kinda day, than an outdoor adventure kinda day. And honestly ... that's ok by me!

I have a few layouts with photos of our vacation to share today ... I just joined The Ardent Sparrow's Creative Team. Seriously love Rebecca's beautiful designs! This first kit is so soft with pretty melons and greys ... perfect for that sunset view from the boat photo from our vacation!



This is a layout with Beach Party from Designs by Dani at Jessica Sprague. Such a fun kit perfect for any water themed photos. These were photos taken from the boat while cruising around Lake Ontario.
