The Dates Our Lives Were Forever Changed Print Project

 

I don't recall where I first saw this idea online, but I thought it was something really cool and decided to create something similar of my own. Using Microsoft Publisher I created a "poster" of important dates in my family's lives ... births, day I met my spouse, anniversary, etc.   What a great thing to have framed as a reminder of the things we have to be thankful for - the moments in our lives that have brought us to the place we are today. I just had to share this because it's so simple to create, but makes such an amazing statement. I, also, think it would be a great gift for a friend or family member ... so inexpensive, yet very meaningful and personal.

My Daughter's 13th Birthday Print Project

My daughter, Allanah, recently turned thirteen. She isn't our first to enter into "teenage-hood" ... we have a twenty-two year old and one turning twenty this weekend. It's funny how you still see your children as little kids even as they grow up and come into their own. Our oldest two are actually my step-children (a.k.a. my "bonus kids") ... from my husband's first marriage. I came into their lives when they were three and five. Allanah was my first biological child, so this birthday was especially hard for me. Ya know, that whole "you're-getting-older-which-means-that-mom-is-getting-older" thing. I am so proud of her ... and am blessed to have such a respectful and respectable young lady for a daughter.
