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. Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform
    you’re working with? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something
    completely unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  2. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same
    comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Appreciate it!

  3. Please let me know if you’re looking for a author for your
    site. You have some really great posts and I believe I would
    be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off,
    I’d love to write some material for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine.
    Please send me an email if interested. Regards!

  11. PBN sites
    We shall generate a web of PBN sites!

    Advantages of our private blog network:

    We perform everything SO THAT google DOES NOT comprehend THAT THIS IS A private blog network!!!

    1- We purchase web domains from separate registrars

    2- The main site is hosted on a VPS hosting (Virtual Private Server is high-speed hosting)

    3- Other sites are on separate hostings

    4- We attribute a individual Google account to each site with confirmation in Google Search Console.

    5- We design websites on WordPress, we don’t utilise plugins with assistance from which Trojans penetrate and through which pages on your websites are produced.

    6- We don’t repeat templates and utilise only distinct text and pictures

    We never work with website design; the client, if wished, can then edit the websites to suit his wishes

  12. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious
    what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost
    a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% sure.
    Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

  13. I don’t know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering issues
    with your blog. It looks like some of the written text in your
    posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else
    please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well?

    This could be a issue with my browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
    Thank you
