Come September both my boys will be heading to school, the little one released into the world for the first time without me by his side. I remember this feeling from the first time around - a knotted discomfort, a fearful and heavy hearted goodbye. Part of me wants to reach back and up towards the sky, to stave off the quickening of time...
For the August calendar(s), I used two different but similar summer Instagram images, reminders that summer is in fact still here for at least another 30ish days. Download by simply clicking on the link below, print and cut on the dotted line. I like to use plain card stock but any paper will work. Enjoy :)

I'm so glad you captured summer images for August, Catherine! The past few days in Seattle have felt like autumn already. I hope that you have a fun trip with your family. I enjoyed seeing your photos!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about your boys heading off to school. Sigh... I wish time wouldn't move so quickly with our little ones.
Guess the Fall is teasing you already Charmaine ;) It's a good consolation to the end of summer (but can't help feeling a bit blue)...
DeleteI had a marvelous time with my family + loved sharing photos with you on IG!
I'm happy to have you back from your travels. The images you shared on Instagram were lovely. Such a bittersweet time to send a child off on his own. I can feel a pang in my heart for you.
ReplyDeleteGood to be back Kim,... even after the best of vacations, there's no place like home. As for September, I'll try to keep my chin up :)
DeleteYou just reminded me I need to start my family calendars for 2014! I give them out at Christmas and if I start now, I just might be done in time. :-) Your shots look lovely.

Earlier this week, I saw winter clothing and Christmas decorations on the floor of a few stores. Holiday prepping seems to happen earlier and earlier each year... you're right to get started now! Thanks for visiting Lisa :)
DeleteThat's a beautiful calendar...perfect size. when you download the file and make the calendar, can you send it to your favorite print shop?

Thank you Kelly :)...the calendar is US letter size (8.5x11) and can be printed on any printer (home or professional). Because the images are photos, I like to print mine using the "best" or high resolution mode. I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
DeleteOh, it's August already! Time flew by so fast! Hope your trip was great! Love the calendar!
ReplyDeleteWe had a marvelous trip Alexa, thank you :) Happy August!
DeleteI can feel the angst you are having about your little one going to school. I remember it well. So hard to let them go. :)
