Personalized Project Life Cards

I just discovered one of the most exciting things to hit my Project Life album yet!



Personalized "that's what she said" cards!  Seeing as how The Office has long been one of our favourite shows and how my kids are always saying hilarious / inappropriate things that I too often forget, I can't wait to get these cards included in my album.

The cards are only $2 each and you get the digital files to print off as many times as you'd like.  Found here.  Just click on Custom Orders on the left hand side and she'll hook you up!

Day in the Life - February

I'm following Ali Edwards lead this year and doing A Day in the Life to add to my Project Life albums the last day of every month.  However...as you'll notice in the photo below, February's spread says March 1.  Why?  Well...a certain little man deleted all my photos off my phone about halfway through the day on the actual last day of the month.  Oh well, I'm still counting this as February!



Highlights from today:

Sage thrilled to pack her own lunch with the leftover Lebanese takeout.  Rex comes to breakfast and Woody comes to snack time!  My parents got an iPad and now my dad and I have constant Words with Friends games going on.  The hideous house across the street got put into foreclosure.  My globe collection.

Around Here

Around here..our renovations have been progressing!  The main floor is so close to being done.  


The excitement I feel at having spaces that finally look (at least a little bit) pretty is ridiculous.  I'm still thrilled with how the houndstooth chair I recovered turned out and is holding up.  The pillow is another story...a bit of a sewing disaster but you can't tell unless you pick it up.  ha ha.  The fabric is Amy Butler Lark Floral Couture Charcoal and is the same fabric that is the accent in our master bedroom.  I would love to find a rug for this space but since it's currently serving as our main entry and sees lots of traffic I've been struggling.  I'm thinking an outdoor one is going to be the way to go.


I adore this print from Vol. 25.  It's the perfect addition to our entry way and really the perfect saying for our family.

The living room is another place that is almost done.  I'm planning on making new curtains out of this fabric and we are still on the hunt for a better side table and coffee table / tables.  I am in love with these ones from West Elm.  


The rug from Overstock and frankly it looks far better in the picture than it does in real life.  When the budget allows, we'll buy a new one for here and this one will work just as well in either our family room under our red couch or in our master bedroom.



Above is the shelf Geoff built from a picture I had seen on Pinterest (of course!)  I love the rustic wood element it adds to the room as well as being the perfect place to add in pops of colour and house part of my globe collection!

And in the background you can catch a glimpse of my still unfinished pantry / mudroom.  Otherwise known as the disaster zone.
