I love this "Forget the insta worthy photos and forget tidying up before you shoot to get ‘the perfect shot’." It reminds me of a moment when the children were looking at recipes on Pinterest when we had to add another allergen to the diet for my 3 year old. They said "We need a special Pinterest for not-Pinterest worthy photos - you know real photos of what it looks like when we've been cooking or baking. Not the professionally staged ones"

That's so true isn't it, it's so unrealistic that everything is always perfect, it burns you out for sure!

Hi Liz! The chat function will be restricted moving forward but I have (I hope!) removed that for now so that you can add your final layouts. It's just past the deadline but I know how hard timezones etc can be - and we've loved seeing the 18 you've added so far. Can you message again once you've added them? Fingers crossed it works :-)

Hi... thanks for the reply... today is Thursday and that was the final day... that said, I have wondered about the time deadline... I actually have to create the last one and was headed to look at what others had done... the messy one... The inside jokes is ready to post... I'll let you know... so glad I found a place to contact you at... Had to go out for a bit, but back here and working on it all...

Hi Lynn... All done... thank you so much for understanding... A word of warning... there may be others on the west coast, like me who are still finishing up.... I did see at least one more page, that had not been there, or at least I did not think it had been. So once you lock it we will not be able to go back and look at what others have posted??? Chat aside, all I could see in each thread was the beginning page. Curious question... Have you and Rachel ever met in person... I know you live worlds apart...

Yay! Sorry for the frustration. :-) Love the pages you've added. PS in answer to the question, no, not yet :-) We couldn't live further apart if we tried. But hopefully one day. In the meantime, lots of video chats!

I had a feeling you hadn't... But you are such a world traveler, I thought maybe...Your things blend together so nicely...
