On My Way to Blissdom!

by Emily on February 22, 2012

I’m so excited that’s it’s finally time for Blissdom!

I attended the Nashville based blogging conference last year for the first time. You can read about that here and here.

This year, I’m even more pumped because I get to be a Community Leader.

I’m flying with Amber from The Run Amuck today, and we’d appreciate any easy travel prayers you want to throw our way. Her wee boy, Titus, will be along for the ride too! It’s cool though, I have some experience flying with babies. (I’m sure that surprises you!)

In fact, we’ll be in travel mode for a few weeks at the Carter house, so I thought today would be a good day to point you towards some of my packing tips, too.

Don’t worry, I’ll be checking back in with pictures and details from the conference!

Look out Nashville!

Project Life: February 12-18

by Emily on February 21, 2012

Welcome to Project Life Tuesday!

This year I’m using Becky Higgin‘s Project Life Kit as an easy and fun way to capture our little family’s daily life.  I’m using the Clementine version with a Signature Black Binder.

And every Tuesday I link up with my good friend Jessica at The Mom Creative. Click the button below to see other Project Life posts and much more.

 

The Mom Creative
 

Hello Week 7! I kept it pretty simple this week, but I did add a 6×12 insert page to hold some of Miles’ extra Valentines.

 

 

A closer look at the first page:

Top Photo: I forgot to snap a picture this day, so I found some cover art from two shows I’ve been watching obsessively lately: Downton Abbey and Once Upon a Time.

Bottom Photos: (L) Miles and I. I used my gorillapod tripod and figured out the timer on my camera. (R) I took my Instax camera to Community Group on Wednesday night. Seth had fun taking pictures.

 

Insert: front and back

 

A closer look at the second page:

Top Photos: (L) Miles playing with his LeapPad on the flight to close on our house! (R) Miles and Nora playing.

Middle: There are two instagram shots from our tattoo adventure!

Bottom Photos: (L) There are actually two photos here. I used one of these flip pockets. Details in the photo below.  (R) An instagram collage of me tasting sushi.

 

 

Here’s the photo flipped up:

 

Still really loving this project! Can’t wait to include photos from my trip to Blissdom next week.

My Mom came over for the weekend and let Patrick and I (and my brother and sister-in-law) have a date night! Thanks Mom! We chose a Japanese place to eat, and then I remembered that tasting sushi was #29 on my 30 by 30 List. So I ordered something I knew I would like as [...]

Goodbye Hangar House!

February 17, 2012

If you’ve been following here for awhile, you may remember that we used to live in a hangar house in Kansas. (Sorry about the tiny picture, it’s an oldie from my blogspot days.) We moved to Northwest Arkansas last June, but our hangar house has taken it’s sweet time in selling.  Yesterday we flew back [...]
