take time to honor

oh, i love today : memorial day
time to
think
remember
respect
and
honor.

let's continue to take time to honor all week.
honor a tradition
honor your country
honor your heritage
honor your family
honor yourself.

what will you take time for this week?
take a photo, i can't wait to see what you come up with.

take time to grow

spring is here, the sun is warm, the days are sweet.
growing season is here...

this week let's think about growth
and take time for it.
grow your garden
grow a talent
grow your spirit

be inspired and..
be a gardener in your own life this week.

take time to cook

i was seriously contemplating making this week
take time for chocolate
or
take time for treats
or maybe
take time for 23 chocolate chips cookies in one afternoon...
(yes, that was me today)
but in hopes to keep us all a little healthier,
i deem this week simply:
take time to cook

cook a favorite dinner.
whip up a tasty treat.
share or eat alone.
whatever...
how will you take time to cook this week?

don't forget to document it in your album!

take time for connections

hey take timers!
welcome to monday.
did you have a great weekend? hope so.
this week we are going to take a little break from 'taking time'.
it the perfect opportunity to get caught up, or just take time for whatever inspires you.

throughout the week i will be highlighting
a few memorymixer user's that have caught my eye.
hope you enjoy:

take time for you

do you remember the last time you stopped
and took some special time just for you?
you know, i don't.
between making dinner, cleaning the bathroom, running to meetings,
it is hard to take time for me.
but this week i am going to.
it might be a half hour to read my new book,
or maybe a soak in the tub.
whatever it is, it is happening.

are you on board?
how will you take time for yourself this week?

take time for inspiration - scanned letters

how sweet is this?
i found this box of old letters written
back and forth to my grandparents years ago.
what did i do?
scanned one of my favorite letters and dropped it on my memorymixer page.
now i have record of that letter i can cherish forever.

this would also work great for:
kids notes
report cards
recipe cards
anything else you can think of!

take time to explore

perhaps its the long-awaited for warmer weather,
but spirit of exploration caught hold of me and my kiddos today.
we journeyed out this morning to an exciting new spot,
with the purpose of discovery. looking closely, examining, exploring.
and let me tell you , it was just what we needed.

that is what i challenge you to do this week: take time to explore
explore your neighborhood
explore nature
explore a talent hidden inside you
explore your creativity

then document your exploration and drop it into your take time album.
can't wait to hear what you take time for!
