Day In The Life: August 19, 2017


I’m swimming in projects and I wanted a very fast and simple way to document the photos I captured for August’s Day In The Life. This is only my second time doing this project and I really loved taking photos every hour and writing a few words about what was going on. It will be fun to look back on what we were doing years from now.

Since Aug-19 was a Saturday, I had a more interesting day (compared to many hours of work). Also since my daughter and I had just returned from France that week, our routine was a bit off — especially the timing of our day. I don’t normally start my day before 5 am and end before 10 pm!

I loved creating my own traveler’s notebook a few months ago for the previous Day In The Life, but that was going to take more time and I really wanted something I could finish in an afternoon. I decided to add the photos in a page protector in my regular Project Life album. I used these minimal and modern photo templates from paislee press to create 18 trading card-sized photos to slip into a 9-pocket 8.5 x 11″ page protector.

I didn’t actually have a 9-pocket 8.5 x 11″ page protector but I did have  a blank 8.5 x 11″ page protector and a Fuse tool so I was able to create my own. 🙂

I stuck to using only 3 of the photo templates in the collection and alternated between the square photos and full photos. I added brief text to tell what was happening that hour.

After printing and cutting, I slipped the photos into the page protector and it was done, only a few hours later!

Do you document your Day In The Life? What are your easy and fast ways to get the project done? I’d love to hear.

  1. Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with Search
    Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but
    I’m not seeing very good gains. If you know of any please share.
    Thank you!

  2. Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is important and everything.
    However think of if you added some great graphics or videos
    to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips,
    this website could definitely be one of the best in its niche.
    Very good blog!

  3. Do you have a spam problem on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was wondering your situation; many
    of us have developed some nice methods and we are looking to trade solutions with others,
    be sure to shoot me an email if interested.

  4. I truly love your site.. Very nice colors & theme. Did you create this
    site yourself? Please reply back as I’m wanting to
    create my own blog and want to learn where you got this from or
    what the theme is called. Cheers!

  5. May I just say what a comfort to find a person that truly understands what they’re talking about
    over the internet. You definitely realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important.

    A lot more people need to read this and understand this side
    of the story. I was surprised you aren’t more popular given that you surely possess the gift.

  6. My brother recommended I would possibly like this blog.
    He was once entirely right. This put up truly made my day.
    You cann’t believe just how a lot time I had spent for this information!
    Thanks!

  7. Oh my goodness! Incredible article dude! Thanks, However I am going through troubles with
    your RSS. I don’t know why I cannot join it. Is there anybody getting similar RSS problems?
    Anyone that knows the solution will you kindly respond?
    Thanks!!

  8. Hello! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do
    you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
    My web site looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone.
    I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this
    problem. If you have any suggestions, please share. Thank you!

  9. Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask.

    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest
    writing a blog article or vice-versa? My site goes
    over a lot of the same topics as yours and I think we could greatly benefit
    from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free
    to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you!
    Superb blog by the way!

  10. Fantastic website you have here but I was curious
    about if you knew of any community forums that cover the same topics talked
    about in this article? I’d really like to be a part of group where
    I can get comments from other experienced individuals that share the
    same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
    Appreciate it!

  11. First off I would like to say terrific blog! I had a quick
    question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.
    I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts
    in getting my ideas out there. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying
    to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
    Thanks!

  12. What’s Taking place i’m new to this, I stumbled upon this I’ve discovered
    It positively helpful and it has helped me out loads.

    I’m hoping to give a contribution & help different users like its helped me.

    Great job.

  13. Currently it seems like Drupal is the top blogging platform available right
    now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?

  14. Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the web the simplest
    factor to take into account of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while other people consider concerns that they plainly
    don’t recognize about. You managed to hit the nail upon the
    highest and defined out the entire thing without having side effect ,
    other people can take a signal. Will probably be back to
    get more. Thanks

  15. Hi everybody, here every person is sharing such know-how,
    therefore it’s nice to read this website, and I used to
    pay a visit this blog daily.
