Hi hi,
This months theme is iLive. Here is Prompt #13:
This week, we’re going to take some time to look at how we live our lives- all the little things that make up our days. What does a typical day look like for you right now? What do you do every day to remember to to live for today?
This prompt, to start with, was easy for me. I knew exactly what my page was going to be about, my old life and my new life. But I couldn't figure out how to present it... Did I want to half my page and show the simple life vs the chaos, but that might get confusing as to which life I prefer. Should I do a word and photo collage about my lives. I had a few more ideas, but none of them felt right. I wanted to show how simple my life was, but also show that it wasn't a great life, not compared to my life now. It was a lazy life, a boring life, I'm not exactly proud of it. And I wanted to show that even though my life was so busy now, I love it so much more. So I decided to put the comparison timeline, and write a bit about both of my lives. Here it is:

So I hope we are all still laughing. This week's prompt brings iLaugh to a close with some words of wisdom:
Prompt #12: Words of Wisdom
It’s time to share some of your wisdom! What advice would you give to future generations about laughing? What has laughing brought to your own life that you’d like to pass on to others? How would you encourage them to laugh every day?
I spent a long time this week just thinking about what I could say. All I kept coming back to was Mary Poppins and "I Love To Laugh". So that's what I went with. I love laughing, so it was nice to encourage laughter in people's lives.
Next month is iLive, and I can't wait. The kit looks like it will be gorgeous!!
Keep safe

This week over at Project: Love, Me we look at the flip side of laughter,
Here is Prompt #11:
Life isn’t always sunshine and happiness. In the words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, “Into each life some rain must fall”. Sometimes we are sad, angry, maybe even a little depressed. Even though this might not be the face we show the world, these feelings are still a big part of who we are. Let’s delve into the “flip side” of laughter … share a story of a time when you were down or upset. How do you deal with these feelings? Do they inspire change in your life? Do you hide them from others or look to others to help you through them?
This week's prompt came at the most perfect time for me. It helped me explore my current dilemma of needing to choose between my passion for teaching and the want to be home with my daughter. If the prompt hadn't come up this week, I probably would still be bottling this up and going out of my mind.
Here is my layout for this week.

Hey everyone, here is this week's prompt:
Prompt #10 - Something Funny
Tell us a funny story … maybe it’s something funny that happened to YOU in the distant or not-so-distant past. Or maybe it’s a funny event that involved you indirectly but still brings a smile to your face. Does it still make you laugh when you remember this story? What made it funny then? Why is it funny now? Why is it a memory you want to remember?
Now I have a lot of trouble remembering the actual funny event after it has happened. I remember the laughing and the sore stomach and the tears, but I have trouble with the actual details of why we were laughing! But this funny story with stay in my mind for a long time! Especially Melody's reaction to her crazy uncle!
Just don't anyone tell my brother that it's here, I promised these photos would never come out for people to see!! Hehee!
Hope you like it, and I will see you next with my layout for prompt #11
