As I did last year, I've decided to participate in a project called "Week in the Life" originally created by Ali Edwards You can read all about it here. Basically, it's about taking photos and journaling all about your everyday life for a week.

I almost didn't do it this year for a number of reasons. First of all, when I did it last year, I didn't complete it the way I wanted to. I got all the photos printed and put into an album. But I just never got around to writing out my thoughts about each day. Secondly, this year the project falls in the middle of summer. Our summer is anything but "everyday". Arnaud just arrived home from helping his mom through a health scare, Julien is still away at Camp Grammy and Bompie and our babysitter is off on vacation. Lastly, I've just been in a funk lately and doing anything creative has been on the back burner.

But this year, I decided at the very last minute to do it anyway. It helped that Ali created a PDF file to easily jot down what's happening throughout the day. So far it's kept me on track for the first 2 days.

So for the next week, I will be documenting our everyday life. I haven't yet decided how I will put it all together in a scrapbook later, but I figured I can at least blog it and then it will be here for me to print out later.
