Happy Wednesday everyone! Hopefully you're all surviving the week. I've got one more finished week in my 2018 Project Life album to share with you today. Here's a look at week nine.

For this year's weekly title cards, I'm using the Pocket Guide No.4 kit from Paislee Press. All of my filler cards for this week are from the Project Life app, which I had printed along with one of my photo orders earlier this month.

I'm finding that there's a few weeks where I end up with one single photo that doesn't have a story at all. I mean, it has a story, but there's no journaling card to go with it. Crazy that it bothers me, since I know a lot of people don't set out to write details about every single photo. I might go back and add something here. I could actually add a little text digitally, sort of like a Snapchat photo, to keep with the look I have going. 

Never mind. I went and changed the photo (the one of Sarah on the stairs) to a Pocket Map cards, so that I could include a little story with it. And updated the photos of my spread. I realized after the fact, that I had only included two Pocket Map cards in this week's spread, so it made perfect sense to add a third (since most of my weeks have three).

These four. They make up my squad these days. And they're the reason that I'm always so tired by the end of the day. Lol. I've always had a good mix of ages. Or that's how I'm remembering all these others years going. Having four kiddos soooooo close in age is rough. 

I may have mentioned this in a previous post, but I find that if I stick to my original plan – 4 digital journaling cards, and 3 Pocket Maps cards – that leaves me with one photo (since I almost always have 8 photos a week) that doesn't have a specific spot for journaling. It works out when one of those eight photos is a Snapchat photo, since it will most likely have some text on it. 

I seem to always get good stories after a trip to the grocery store. Like this, when the bagger put my last 3 items (a 2 liter bottle of soda, half gallon of milk, and bananas) haphazardly in the cart – and then tossed my 3 extra reusable bags in with them. I mean, I don't get it. Why didn't she use one of those bags to hold my last 3 items??? Lol.

So I feel pretty good about finishing up the first two months of the year before the end of the March. Now that I have my March photos, let's see if I can finish my March weekly spread before May rolls around.
