Layout a Day in May – I Love All Your Funny Little Quirks

And here’s #28. Had fun with circle punches today.

Nathaniel doesn’t like his leg to touch grass so when we sit in the backyard, he holds it up the whole time. I wanted to make sure to capture his funny quirk.

Layout a Day in May – This I Promise

I am doing a layout a day in May and this is number 27.

Journaling is about how I hate having my photo taken but I know my kids would love to have more photos of me and I love looking at photos of us so I promise them that I will let people take more photos of us together.

Layout a Day in May – The Scooter and Lessons on Motherhood

Here is day twenty-six:

I wanted to try to do something that had a tone on tone feel so I picked shades of yellow and orange for the whole layout. Went a bit punch-crazy and stitching crazy.

The journaling Reads:
When we first got this scooter, you were four and I thought you were too young for it. So I left it unopened. But now that you’re five you’re not doing such a good job picking it up and I constantly worry that you won’t ever learn it and I ask myself why do I need to control the process? The fact is if you want to learn it you will and you’ll do great. And if not, that’s ok too. I need to learn to let go and let you be whatever you want.

Layout a Day in May – Mom Says

And here’s number 19. Inspired by the amazing Susan Weinroth.

People often ask me how I can have both kids at home and still get work done and I’d like to say there are strict rules they follow but really I am just very very lucky. My kids love playing alone or together and are really wonderful to me.
