So, this week I’m actually sharing both Week Four (January 20th – 26th) and Week Five (January 27th – February 2nd) of my Project Life. I had the brilliant idea to attempt triangles (inspired by Elise Blaha) in week four which requires a significant amount of planning. I couldn’t think through week five ahead of time so even though my layout was technically finished, I didn’t sew the page protectors until both sides were complete. It was a LOT of work but I absolutely love how these pages turned out! This week I also included an insert page protector that my friend, Heather, sent me. It’s 12 x 4 with three 4 x 4 pockets which are probably my favorite size to use. Instagram photos look great printed at this size.
Here is the Week Four layout without the insert:

Initially my plan was for the “back” of Week Four to include a variety of patterns and I’m SO GLAD that I didn’t stitch them in ahead of time. There ended up being a lot of opportunities for photos and journaling in Week Five so I really didn’t have the space for much fluff. I did tie in a few so that the left side would coordinate with the right. You’ll also notice that I sliced a few photos in half but included both sides. Even though it is a lot of work [working with triangles] I absolutely would do it again!

I’m reading this book, “Memory Making Mom”, and it’s helping change my outlook and my priorities. Nothing [in life] has changed, but my heart is changing. I’m more... available. Intentional. Grateful. I look forward to him being able to go back to school, eventually, because that’s what works for our family, but I also feel grateful for this time together. Though the days are long, these childhood years are so short. I want them to fill Benjamin’s heart (and mine) with beautiful memories to build on. 💗](https://www.lovejoleen.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
