Happy Wednesday my blog friends!

Today I am blogging over at Lily Bee and have a new challenge posted: Create a layout with Memorabilia!

Every year for Mother's Day at Jonah's preschool, they fill out these sweet little interviews about the moms. I just have to laugh and how hilarious these are. The interview above was from last year (please note my job is to "watch TV" and apparently Jonah referred to me as "Hufford" as a four year old- haaaaa!)

Here is an iPhone photo of this year's interview (it's still on the bulletin board at school) Dying laughing and the continual reference to laundry. And the fact that "i love celery". Most of all, i LOVE that i can tell a huge difference in his comprehension and speech even in something as simple as this.

I LOVE this. I cherish this. I want this to be in his scrapbook-- his thoughts and his art (not just mine:) Kind of like returning to "the basics" of scrapbooking. Letting go of perfectionism and welcoming real life into the pages of our albums.

So the challenge at Lily Bee is to create a layout using:

1) at least one piece of memorabilia (could be art work, ticket stubs, clothing tags, brochures, documents, playbills--- you get the idea)
2) at least one Lily Bee product

This is so cute. They did this in my daughter's preschool too. She said my favorite thing to do was laundry!! For mother's day I had her answer the same questions for the grandma's. It was so fun!
