happy September ♥ and a free mini printable calendar

i just keep saying this all the time, but why are these years flying by so fast?

summer is coming to a close, school starts next week for us

and we're entering the high school phase of life. crazy.

if you follow me on the insta you know that i've been using the project life app to "scrapbook" our photos and memories. you can find out more about what it is here & here

i'm hooked on using the app ...  it's so simple and it's done right from your phone, in bed, while watching Netflix. it's great. you can print your pages right from the app now, and they're sent right to your mailbox - the quality is AMAZING and the price is so reasonable!

the two layouts above are last weeks compilation of pictures and things we did. i'm trying have a 2 page layout (12x12) for each week and if there's an extra event or more pictures, i just go ahead and do more pages. SO fun. slide them into the page protectors and you're done. love it. 

another character necklace & keychain sale is scheduled for September 13th @8pm eastern over at my insta-shop account (@shopraisinguprubies)

i'll have lots of new characters ... shop now for Christmas stockings!

soccer season has begun!

and i've been slowly working on re-purposing everything in this room

every year things change in here and purging and re-organizing is helpful 

keeps things running a bit more smoothly :)
