PL2018 - Weeks 2 & 3

Here are weeks 2 and 3 of my 2018 Project Life Album.

I'm still really enjoying using one 12x12 page protector to capture our week. It's quite simple if I feel like I need more space, I use two page protectors. But for now, I feel like I'm capturing all the 'stories' I need to, using one page. 

Here is a look at Week 2: 


  • Mason is on the curling team at school. On this day I dropped him off and went in to watch a little bit. He really seems to be enjoying it, which is totally cool. 
  • It's cold... Really cold. And I hate to be cold. 
  • Back in November I'd sent a Christmas card to the Royal family. I documented a screen shot of their Christmas Wishes on IG, so imagine my surprise to receive this in the mail this week! So exciting!
  • Madelyn and a team mate selling WestJet tickets at Sobey's.
  • Our boy, going for a goal. Have loved watching him play this year. 

Week 3:

  • Got in some baby snuggles today, meeting new baby Levi. 
  • On a field trip with Grade 7's, checking out architecture. We went up the Calgary Tower, and did a program with them that was really informative. The glass floor on the observation deck is scary, even though it can apparently hold several hippopotamus or rhinoceros. [Seems like a tough theory to test] But all the kids, had their photos taken laying on the floor. 
  • The start of Esso Golden Ring, I had to volunteer at checking in teams. Our girls lost all their games. The boys were out of Esso Minor Hockey week quickly too. Made for a quiet weekend. 
  • Mum and I went to see Shaping Sound. We treated ourselves with wonderful seats. Great night out with my Mumma.

2018 February Template Freebie

If you've followed this blog for any time, you know that Sahlin Studio offers a freebie template each month. This is February's free template. [If you're interested in downloading it, click here ] It's available as a freebie through February only.



The new year always seems to be a time when we're more likely to re-evaluate how we take care of ourselves. That seems funny to me, because we're smack-dab in the middle of winter, and quite frankly, at this time of year, I can totally understand why animals hibernate. I often wish we could hibernate as well.

But the more I looked at this template, the more I wanted to create inspiration for myself. Something to remind me to 'do it'. Even when I don't feel like it. So, I came up with this layout.


Very simple. With a message that encourages me.

Being healthy is something that happens one day at a time. When you look at it like that, it's much more manageable.

Project Life 2018

Well, here I go again!

I am continuing my project life album, and here is week one for 2018. I am still working on the title page, so haven't got that ready to share yet. 


  • Happy New Year! A quick family selfie as we rung in 2018 as a foursome. 
  • Last minute tickets to see the hockey game, so exciting to see the Kings play against Calgary. Calgary even won!
  • Little Miss Libby, once she saw the Christmas tree coming down, she decided to lay under it. 
  • Winter wonderland walk with the walking ladies.
  • Date night with matching jerseys.
  • Mason returning bottles at the bottle depot.
  • Miss Madelyn was enthralled with the typewriter, typing out stories and thank you notes.
