Well I'm FINALLY caught up on homework from the past couple weeks and can get back to blogging.

I mentioned this on Facebook, but almost 2 weeks ago, we were in a pretty bad car accident. We weren't hurt, and neither was anyone else, but sadly our car was totaled in the accident. Two cars collided and then the SUV rolled and landed on the front of our car while we were stopped at a red light.


All of us were in the car, taking Ryan to the 2nd day of his internship. Yeah, it's been kind of a rough few weeks. Thankfully, we got a rental car and were able to use that while we found a car to buy. After several bad experiences at dealerships, we found a private seller who had the perfect car for us! It's a Honda Pilot, it's quite a bit bigger than our Focus along with 4 doors and air conditioning!

Zoe is loving the new car, especially the cup holder that flips down in the back...it's the little things right?

Well before too much more of the month is over, I wanted to share my Scrapbook Circle pages for May, and also add a little tidbit about the June kit, it just arrived today and it is the perfect kit for masculine pages, but I'm gonna challenge myself to use it for a picture of Zoe too, so check back in a couple weeks to see if I was able to do it!

We decided to squeeze in a trip to California last week before Ryan started his internship tomorrow. We packed a lot into one short week, but I'm glad we made the trip before it got super hot, although we hit a mini heat wave while we were there... it was 88 degrees the first day, sigh, I don't miss the heat at all.

 


 

We did it! We moved again....and we're finally getting settled.
I also finished my first semester with passing and pretty good grades!

So excited to get ready for summer, although we've had snow this week so it looks like summer might have to wait a bit.

But I want to share my April Scrapbook Circle pages before I started putting up sneaks for May :)

XOXO,

I've always had decent skin, but the last year or so, I'm guessing because of the hormone changes, my skin has revolted. I did some research and got some free samples and I finally found a routine that works for me and I just wanted to share. I've also got my everyday make-up picks below too.

As I've been getting ready for our move in a few weeks, I've been cleaning out drawers and files etc, finding lots of old memories and fun pictures.

I found some pictures I had forgotten existed, some I was desperately searching for, and some I needed to see today. It always amazes me at how even someone like me, who regularly scrapbooks, who is very conscious about taking pictures and making sure to write stories down, I still have so many pictures that don't have a home.

But even still, I'm so glad I have them. We have moved every 8 month for the past 3 years and each move, I do the same thing, cleaning out the drawers and files, and get to relive those memories and I adore it. So this is your resident scrapbooker and photo-taker, reminding you to take pictures - oh! and make sure you're in them.

It had been awhile since I had taken a picture of Zoe and I, so while we were both in stripes yesterday, I snapped this picture with the self-timer.


Also, having your camera around is great for days like these when you let your kids jump on the bed! Photo courtesy of my dear friend and amazing photographer, Aly.

Today, I've got my very first video tutorial for you.  It's my first time doing something like this, and I probably recorded it 25 times to make sure I didn't forget anything. The resolution isn't so great at full screen, I'm working on trying to fix that for the next tutorial. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment and I will get back to your ASAP.



And as promised, Here is a print and cut tutorial, by the awesome Lain Ehmann, be sure to visit her blog here.

Enjoy!
XOXO,
Holly & Co.
