Here’s my August 2024 memory roundup on a scrapbook page. My roundup grid template makes it so easy to fill in all the info and add a few highlight photos that recap the month or any parcel of time you choose to document.

We had a lot of grandkid time this month, so I felt like it was only fitting to choose pictures of these cute little boys for my August page.

The Art of Noticing by Rob Walker is my book club's newest selection. It's an easy read and I love that each idea is shared in a page or two. Even though it is short and sweet, the content is really inspiring. I made notes as I read through my Kindle version and I now have a long list of prompts and ideas that I’m going to use to document and enrich my everyday life. You will see scrapbook pages and more blog posts from me that are directly inspired by this book!

Now that I'm back from Grandma Land (hanging out with my daughter's family for a month), I'm finally doing some scrapbooking again. It's a great excuse to look at pictures of my cute grandsons, whom I miss so much!

It’s May, and I’m just now getting to my March roundup. That’s perfectly ok! I still have a few from past years to catch up on as well. I don’t feel too bad about it because I have the notes jotted down in my calendars. However, it is always easier to do it when the memories are fresh. Thankfully, March was a pretty easy month to remember.

I’m wrapping up the last two chapters of my book club's selection of A Book That Loves You: An Adventure in Self-Compassion. I decided that these two chapter topics, Love Your Ups and Downs and Love Letting Go, were great to combine, and so this will be my final post about this book.

The minute I started reading Chapter 5 of my book club's selection of A Book That Loves You: An Adventure in Self-Compassion, I started thinking about cats. I’m not sure there is another creature that enjoys their idle time as much as a cat does. And sure enough, this chapter was filled with images of cats. Obviously, the authors agree!

I finished chapter four of my book club's selection of A Book That Loves You: An Adventure in Self-Compassion. This was my favorite chapter so far, and the content was so meaningful!

I’m exploring chapter 3 in my book club's newest selection of A Book That Loves You: An Adventure in Self-Compassion. This chapter is about loving alone time, which is really not a problem for me. I think because I was an only child until the age of 12, I feel pretty comfortable with being alone. I know that isn’t the case for everyone, though.

I just finished Chapter 2 of my book club's selection of A Book That Loves You: An Adventure in Self-Compassion. It's such a fun book because it’s filled with great advice and fun activities that you can pull out of the book and use for creative projects.

The chapter topic is Love Your Imperfect Body, and it was such a timely subject for me to explore. I had surgery a few weeks ago…
