You @ 2

I was skeptical at joining the One Little Word 2nd anniversary challenge. It’s not that I don’t want to (just the opposite!), it’s just that with the trip in a couple of weeks and other stuff I need to settle, I just don’t think I’d have the time to put together something that is worthy for the challenge.

Then something came up which freed up some of my time, so I grabbed the opportunity. This project was quite easy, I guess that’s one of the pros coz I only have a couple of days to pull it together, talk about last minute! {lol} It’s fun and I love that I am able to document Chiara’s 2nd year. It showcases the highlights every month that she is 2 years old. So, here it is:

I love that it is such a fun idea and fits so well with documenting kids’ moments. Here’s the details of the project:

And this is the monthly highlight of Chiara at 2 years old:
