Celebrating Colin's 1st Birthday!

 

I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always;

as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be.

It's Colin's party, he'll cry if he wants to

Colin will be 1 year old on Tuesday. My baby is almost not a baby anymore. But I'm not ready to talk about that yet, haha. I'm still in denial. He isn't walking yet, although he has taken one step on his own, so I'm not willing to use the "t" word just yet (cough toddler cough).


Anyway, my baby's birthday party was yesterday. It went well, except that he was tired throughout most of it, due to the fact that he didn't get a great nap that morning. He was so not cool with the cake smash. He stared at his dirty hand in horror and cried for me to pick him up. Oh well, he was still cute and it will make for a good story when he's older. Here are some pictures of Colin's special day. Thanks to our sweet friends and family for coming to celebrate with us!

 

Project 52: Week 2 - "Life"

“Life is not made up of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years, but of moments. You must experience each one before you can appreciate it.”
-Sarah Breathnach

This photo represents every day life in our house. Messy-haired baby, streaky glass covered in fingerprints, boy and dog staring at one another. It's the little moments like these that make me smile.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Moving right along. :) I was invited by my lovely friend, Kim, at {My} Life's Stories to participate in the Project 52 Weekly Photography Challenge. Well, Kim, I accept! My photos will never live up to yours, but I'm going to give it my best shot {pun intended}.


The theme for Week 1 is "Resolution." For starters, I'm resolving to spend some time on our stationary bike this year, and hopefully get rid of my jiggly mama belly, or at least shrink it a little. Ahem, pardon the dust.

My Memories Suite Review and Giveaway!

When I was approached by My Memories to do a review and giveaway of their software, I was incredibly flattered and so excited! I've seen My Memories giveaways on other blogs, but I've never had a chance to play around with the software myself. I had a blast creating scrapbook pages using this software. It was incredibly easy and user friendly, and it is extremely customizable. And when you're done creating whatever you like (it's not just for scrapbooking, folks!), you can export your creation and print it yourself, or you can order a custom scrapbook right from the software! It's pretty awesome. Take a look at some of the pages I've been playing around with:

So I bet now you're dying to try the My Memories Suite out yourself, right? Well, GOOD! Because I'm about to give one away! Thanks to the very generous people at My Memories, I am able to give one digital scrapbooking suite away to one of my awesome readers. Just follow the instructions in the Rafflecopter widget below.
