There are several reasons that I scrapbook, most of them I've written here before. 

Last week, so many events, led me to reflect on my blessings and my sweet family.

Even a song on the radio, by Diamond Rio,' One More Day', which inspired this layout.

I have a sort of irrational fear of dying young and that my children will never really know me, 

which is just one of the reasons I scrapbook.

My sister, Jenni, has some 'Rules to Live By' on her blog and this is sort of an homage to that.

I wanted to write down just a few things I would make sure to tell her, if I only had one more day.

1. I love you!

2. Be kind, even when you don't feel like it.

3. Smile, a lot!

4. Don't be afraid to cry.

5. You will get your heart broken, but love anyway.

6. Save your kisses.

7. Give hugs freely.

8. Stay close to God.

9. Take chances, sometimes. :)

10. Be Yourself!

There are so many other things I hope to teach her throughout the course of her life, 

but those are the first few that came to mind.

I love being a mama!

XOXO,

Holly & Co.
