Hello!
Chelle wrote this tip in March of 2015. I thought it was a timely reminder as we busy Mom’s try to keep it all together. as Summer ends and we try to get everything coordinated for Back 2 School. Take a deep breath, you can keep up.
(Disclaimer! I recognize that not all of my scrapping friends fit in this category, but I think it is important for the ones that do.) (Yes, those are bits of fluorescent pink play dough mixed into the Legos. SIGH!)
“My house stays clean for 5 minutes if I’m lucky. This morning I picked up a McDonald’s Happy Meal toy and my son said “He was eating a cookie.” I guess that explains why the one arm is covered in chocolate. Crumbs. Sticky. Broken. Dirty. EVERYWHERE. Recently I stumbled on a website where photographers are embracing this phase of their lives: Kids Were Here. I really support the idea of taking a step back and relishing this season through photographing evidence that the kids were here. My youngest daughter turned 18 yesterday. My youngest son will start school this fall. I know all too well that this season is fleeting even if the mountains of laundry try to persuade me otherwise. I’m taking the challenge of documenting the Kids Were Here. I would encourage you to do the same.”
Chelle has a super bundle called Master Builder that works well with building blocks. Take a look!

Hi! I'm Chelle: a 40 something mom of 7. My husband & I live in a rural community in the rocky mountains with our 4 children still at home. In the winters we enjoy sledding & snuggling by the fire. I the cool fall evenings we love relaxing around the campfire & meeting friends at the county fair. Admiring the stars
