2020 Project Life® : complete

Today, I’m celebrating (and sharing) my COMPLETED Project Life®. Anyone who has participated in this year-long creative project knows that it takes commitment, consistency, and a certain amount of “let’s git ‘er done.”

Since I’ve blogged some photos/stories from Jan-March, I’m going to pick up where I left off and share a few peeks from April-Dec. There’s a full length video at the end of the post if you just want to skip ahead!

April brought Wilder’s 7th birthday, lots of time indoors, and peeks of Spring-like weather.

In May, we celebrated Hope’s birthday (yes, Tracy….she really turned 28!) and Mother’s Day.

The Littles came home in June, for an extra-long summer. As always, it’s so much fun to have them home!

Was this July or August? I don’t remember, because our summers are a blur of activity!

We transitioned back to an adults-only household in August…

We enjoyed brunch outdoors for as long as we could…so lobster benedict (my fave) is featured a number of times.

Austin turned 24 in August, and we ate more lobster! Dan & I traveled to Indiana for parenting time, and we all had lots of outdoor adventures.

That photo of the trees & hanging platforms? Hands down one of my FAVORITE photos of the year. Outdoor adventures & fall leaves FTW in September & October.

November’s big stories included Austin moving to Vancouver, and (duh) the election (which, for the record, was TOTALLY VALID AND NOT IN THE LEAST BIT RIGGED).

And, finally….December! We had a few weeks of empty-nest, and then the Littles came home for an extended Winter Break. As a reminder, I also completed a December Daily® album, so the majority of my photos/stories live there.

A crazy year, for sure!! In a strange way, it was also a year that reignited my love of memory keeping. Ali Edwards has often shared that memory keeping is how she makes sense of her life. I totally get that. Project Life® definitely helped me remember to look for the good…
