2:30pm Friday I hit send on the email to submit my last essay for this semester. I really enjoyed the weekend not having any deadlines hanging over my shoulder especially since The Hubby is away so I did all the parental cheering on this weekend.

We've had a long weekend here with the most gorgeous sunny weather but unfortunately I haven't been able to take full advantage of it because I'm in the middle of writing an essay that's due Friday.

This week's links ...

1. Digital Washi Tape Freebie

2. I made this cake for my sister's birthday but substituted frozen raspberries for the strawberries.


3. Could relate to this post. Although unfortunately it's not isolated to the end of school year. I'm so glad the kids have got past readers. I'm not sure who the school requirements were made for but I rebelled when told by my friend that we should be listening to the kids read aloud for 20 mins every night even at grade 4 level. I'll just say there was no way I was going to listen to kids read for 60 mins every. single. night.

4. I really appreciated Pip's post The Secret of my Success.

5. 40 Things for Need to Know Before You're 40 ... Letters to a Woman Mid-Way. (warning auto music)

It's About Time ...

a layout.


Scattered through this year's PL will be layouts like this, telling one little story in a little more detail. That's the great thing about PL, you can really make it whatever you want.

My month in Numbers: May

Question: Why do some people think their need to do a U-turn on a semi-major road during peak hour and school drop-off time outweighs the interests of the 40-50 cars banked up behind them just going about their business as responsible road users ... not to mention the extremely questionable practice of using the bus zone out the front of a school at drop-off time to complete their U-turn. Then having the audacity to look outraged at the driver honking his horn at her ... the one that she had held up for 5mins while she waited to do her dangerous U-turn.

Now that I've got that off my chest (didn't help that I was second in line behind her and on my way to drop The Boy off at camp. We just got there as the kids were loading onto the bus, and I find it's better not to be too early otherwise he just gets would up) ... my month in numbers for May. Because I'm using the same design every month, I have to come up with six numbers and this month it was a struggle. I had lots of numbers but I wanted them to be numbers I wouldn't cover in my main PL pages. The Big Girl finally suggested I include how many photos I took (can't believe I didn't think of that)
