I finally got some of my outstanding packages! The first box was full of Echo Park clearance sale items. I grabbed some scrapbook packs and a ton of great enamel dots.
And a package from the Last Chance section of Nerd’s the Word planner stickers.
And finally, part of my Zulily order featuring Happy Planner items. Of course, I had to get this planner if only for the cover!
For 2020’s WITL, I wasn’t planning on doing it until late summer or so. But then I thought that documenting a week during the height of the pandemic and quarantining might be interesting. I ended up creating almost a time capsule for future years. For my base pages, I pulled paper from a variety of stashes, using the Days of the Week puffy stickers as my color guide For insert cards, I used some Week in the Life cards from Ali Edwards and lots of random cards from my stash. Today’s post features Saturday and Sunday.

Reading: I just started When Women Ruled by Kara Cooney. It’s about the six queens of ancient Egypt. I’m only on the first queen, but it’s fascinating. Turns out I knew very little about the First Dynasty of ancient Egypt.
Watching: J and I are making our way through S3 of Broadchurch, but it’s so very heavy. To lighten up our nights, we started watching Holey Moley S1. A mini golf competition crossed with Wipe Out? We’re totally here for this!
Listening: Palaye Royale’s new album The Bastards dropped this week. Oh so incredibly good!
Making: I did manage to make a couple of homemade loaves of bread this week.
Feeling: For the past four days, I’ve really felt off. I’ve had a fever off and on, body aches, nausea, and headache. It’s been terrible…
Planning: Meal planning like every week…
Loving: I figured out the “Over Ice” feature on my coffee maker and have been making iced coffee all week. So nice when I want coffee but it’s 90 degrees.

I finally got my 2019 Family Project Life album started this past week. I know, I’m so far behind! But I have a plan to get caught up. I’ve already organized most of the photos in my photos app. I just need to print, journal, and embellish. To help me, I’ve changed up my format this year. For the past two years, I did weekly spreads. They were fine and worked well for those years. But I noticed that I wasn’t consistent in taking photos every week in 2019 and that we visited the same places over and over (OCM, Romp n Roll, etc). I decided to go to a modified monthly format. For each month, I will have a number of miscellaneous pages including photos from around the house and random things. The remaining pages will each be dedicated to a place that we frequent or a big event.
For January, I have four pages of miscellaneous photos and such, including a page of our grilled cheese experiments. I then have one page dedicated to Romp n Roll and one page dedicated to the Children’s Museum. I purposefully left off embellishments on our event pages and focused on the miscellaneous pages. I plan on using the same format through the year.
Supplies used: I found an entire stack of Simple Stories year journalling cards and embellishments completely unused in my stash. I will be pulling primarily from that set for all my journalling cards this year.
Another' month’s worth of pages. I’m doing a great job keeping up with these pages. May 25-31 is not featured ad that was my Week in the Life for this year.
Reading: Hollowland by Amanda Hocking - I definitely needed a good zombie adventure flick.
Watching: We finished S1 of Living With Yourself and it was weirdly delightful.
Listening: Loving the Currently Reading podcast for great book discussions. I really enjoy that they don’t get distracted by other topics but focus on the books!
Making: Finally getting moving on 2019 Family Project Life album. Almost done with January’s pages.
Feeling: We’ve officially reached 90 degrees here and it’s terrible. We had to put the AC on and I really enjoy having the windows open for the breeze.
Planning: I’m craving some homemade desserts, but there are so many options. I’m thinking a Lemon Pistachio Olive Oil Cake or Smores Cookies.
Loving: Speaking of desserts, I finishing a sleeve of raspberry jaffa cakes and they are so yummy.

WITL 2020 Album - I documented last week. Here’s hoping I can print, journal, and embellish this month.
For this year's WITL, I kept pushing my week off until finally fall came and I picked September 16th - 22nd. I had a random album in my stash and used that. For my base pages, I pulled paper from a variety of stashes, but I did stick to brighter colors. For insert cards, I used some Week in the Life cards from Ali Edwards. I love the coordinating colors. Today’s post features my cover page, Monday, and Tuesday.
