The Harwick Hubabaloo

The First 6 Days of 2011

Each and every year I set myself up for failure!

I say, "I am going to do Project 365" or, "I am going to keep my Logbook", or even, "I am going to exercise everyday"... blah, blah, blah... and every year, I don't hold up my end of the baragin for one reason or another... so this year I decided not to make any promises... but I did (and have kept it up for 12 days) decide (not promise) to make a stab at Project 365, yet again. There is something intriguing to me about taking a picture everyday of the bits and pieces of my life. So far, I it has been really easy. I have choosen something that is salient in the day or something I really want to remember. It has helped that we have now had 3 snow days! :)

Here are theHarwick's  first 6 days of 2011 - (the rest are still stuck on the camera!)

 
 Jan 1, 2011 - My new calendar and my Logbook (created with the Jan Nook kit)

If you don't know about the Log Your Memory log books, you should click the link and check it out!

I purchased one last year and was a drop out, but this year I have a plan! I will be printing out the guts and creating a seperate book for each month (finally, putting to use my lonely Bind-it-All)

Jan 2, 2011 - Me, capturing memories, that is what this project is all about, right?

 
Jan 3, 2011 - our last lazy Sunday before the end of Christmas break! This is Brody and his favorite Christmas present from Santa, the Imaginex fortress!

Jan 4, 2011 - Back to school - ugh!

Jan 5, 2011 - Sleeping beauty (really, she is more like the sleeping giant)

 
Jan 6, 2011 - Excuse me, is that a caterpillar on your upper lip?

I found a moustache machine vending machine and created a monster! Watch for more moustache pictures, as they bought $6.00 worth! :) - Hailey wore this to school with a hat and claimed that she was a "new student". She is such a silly girl! They definately broke the mold when they made her!

Ok, so there it is, the first 6 days in a nutshell! - I make no promises about the longevity of my Project 365 - it might become a Project 30 - but I have intentions on continuing the journey, as 2011 promises to be an exciting year for the Harwick family! (we are cooking up some changes and fun!)

Thanks for stopping by!

oh, and this is the perfect time for me to let you all know - Lollipop Press is holding their first blog hop this coming weekend! There will be lots of inspiration, prizes and fun! You will even be able to pick up the pieces of a fabulous new kit along the way! (for FREE!)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to my friends and family!

2010 was a whirlwind year for the Harwick family! Here are the highlights:

We brought in the New Year with Daddy who was home on leave at the time, said "good-bye" to Daddy as he returned, celebrated Valentine's Day with a cupcake party and lot of love, started a new soccer season (with all 4 kids playing, phew!), Hailey turned 8, Holly turned 6, the Easter bunny hopped on by, leaving a wake of candy and gifts, we welcomed Daddy home (finally), visited the beach, enjoyed fireworks for 4th of July, had some fun visits from Uncle Brian and cousin Kiernan, visited the Great Wolfe Lodge with Grandma, Uncle Brian and Kiernan, hung out in the yard with our neighbor friends, Brody turned 4, we started a new school year, Hailey announced her first "boyfriend", we dressed up as a Ninja, Transformer, Can Can Dancer and Sock Hop Girl to beg for treats, we ate Thanksgiving turkey and the fixin with Grandma, Uncle Brian and Kiernan, Hannah turned 10! (those are double digits), "Scout" watched from the shelf as the littles struggled to be good for Santa, Santa came and delivered fabulous gifts to all and we rang in the New Year with together with friends.... it was a great year! - Which of course, I commenorated with a layout!

Holly Jolly Collection!

I am so grateful for the many gifts 2010 gave me, including, the safe return of my husband and the reconnection (hey, my 2010 word in action) with my brother and nephew. If there is one thing I realized in 2010, it is that family is definately the backbone of a happy, fulfilled life. I hope to work on that more in 2011.

I am thinking about my word for 2011 - I think I have it figured out and will share it with you all tomorrow (? - or is it foolish to think I would blog two days in a row?)
