day 29

here's proof that i am a tad bit domesticated. just a tad, but still...i iron.

that's love.

adore this.

empty laundry baskets can only mean one thing.
laundry caught up. (or the piles are out of sight, on the floor)
nope, we're caught up-if only for a brief moment.
the moments are always brief.

poor, sick boy.

oh goody, he's feeling better.
can you believe the nerve of his mother to make him fold socks on his 'day off'?

she's so mean.

please tell me i'm not alone on this.

does your table ever look like this?

if you say no, you lie.

i came home from running some errands in town last week and came across this!

the hub, his son's, my brother and his kids were out playing tag football in our front yard.

no one seemed to care that it was down pouring.

i love that these men don't mind getting a little cold and dirty in order to make great memories with their kids.

they are great men.

if you are laughing, stop.

yes, i know i promised that i would stick with it last January and didn't but never-the-less, i'm turning over a new leaf.

no, really i am.

i'm 8 days in.

only 22 more days and i'll look like Jillian. (right???)

my kids thought this was the funniest thing....i didn't have weights so i improvised with ketchup bottles.

hey, it worked.

wish me luck.

give me a break. it was a snow day.

no school=mom allows things she wouldn't normally allow.

gross.

this was a EPIC snow fort.

my babes.

my Project 365 is complete!

did ya hear me???

COMPLETE.

i'm so glad i stuck with it.

a picture a day for 365 days. this is my idea of easy memory keeping!

i challenge you...do it.

you'll be SO glad you did.

sorry, didn't flip this one. you get the jest...this is the front of my 365 book.

my family's favorite cookie. i'm not a great cook but i can make a mean batch of Snickerdoodles!

plus, they take about 5 mins. to throw together.
