September 5th Cheese Pizza Day

Who doesn’t love cheese pizza? It’s my daughter’s favorite food. Make a pizza with your children. Find a new recipe. Learn how to make your own pizza crust. And don’t forget to add lots of cheese! Can’t wait to try this pizza crust. And I love trying new sauce recipes like this one or this one.

September 6th Read a Book Day

Pick up that book you haven’t had time to read. Share the joy of reading with your children. Have them read to you or find a new book to read to them. Right now I’m reading The Time Traveler’s Wife and my daughter is really into The Magic Treehouse Series, Junie B Jones Series and can’t wait for us to start Little House in the Big Woods.

I used a 4×6 photo album. On the left side I designed a journaling block and used some cute, aged Christmas paper. I left the right side blank, easy to slip in a 4×6 photo. What a great place to keep those treasured Christmas moments from one year or many years, of your children’s lives or from your own special memories growing up.

At first I was thinking about a few pictures from each month, but there are some months I didn’t take many pictures and I really didn’t want 12 pages for each year. So, I think I will try to group the pictures the way I do my other scrapbook pages, by categories: Things We Did, Places We Went, People We Saw.

Over the next few months I will show you how I will put together my Year in Review album, from selecting pictures to finding the words.
