Project Life. Have you heard of it? In a nutshell, it’s a cute and compact way to journal and preserve photos. Becky sells a yearly kit on Amazon. Everything you need is included (journal cards, picture sleeves, date stamp, stickers, etc). My friend Lucia did this last year and I loved it. Here is an example of one of her weeks:
I make the girls a photo book each year for their birthday with special memories and pictures, but I don’t have anything that documents our day-to-day life as a family. I want to remember silly stories and look back at what we were doing any given week.
What I love about Project Life is you can execute it however you want. There’s no right or wrong way to do it.
Personally, I am going to take a photo each day this year and handwrite a blip about that day. On Tuesdays (starting next week), I’ll share my journal pages with you all from the week before. I think it’s going to be so much fun.
Plus, look how cute the design is? 
It remind me of fabric. Oh, I love fabric.
This is the intro page:
Here are a few of the goodies included in the kit:

Ok, this is seriously awesome and I just ordered a kit! This weekend, I ordered 1,000 photos so that I could update my albums…yes, 1,000! I had not printed any pictures out since our trip to Cabo in September, 2009! Before Jenna was even born! This kit is just what I need to keep me on track! Thanks for the info on it! By the way, your belly is looking so cute! I miss seeing you!!! Crazy holidays! We need to try to get together very soon!
Kristin,
Oh, I’m SO happy you ordered a kit! We’ll keep each other on track. PS – the cheapest place to print photos I have found is Costco (I know you have a membership too). I can’t wait to see you soon – there’s a Dallas Modern Quilt Guild mtg next Thur night if you want to go!
Hi Jenny!
Hopefully she will get more in soon! You always have great ideas!
Just checked amazon and this is currently unavailable
Aw BUMMER!!!!
Hopefully she will – I’m super impressed with the quality.
Wow, that is SOOO cool!! I have to say though, I do love putting my books together on Snapfish. I scrapbooked for a while but then ran out of time and I’m actually many years behind on my daughter’s book…one of these days I’ll get around to it. Hopefully I can finish her book before May since she makes her First Communion and I like to have that book out for that event. I’m actually behind on Snapfish by about a year. I think I’ll get back in there this weekend and attempt to get caught up. I may just add my photos, scale back on the text and try to get ahead that way. I can’t wait to see how this evolves for your family…especially since it’s growing! Yay!
I have heard of this before, but never really looked into it. I hate that I have been so sporadic in keeping up with the kids memory books and am considering giving this a try! Thanks for sharing.
