POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

If it seems like my days are filled with hiking, scriptures, hosting, sourdough, and pickleball (sounds pretty dreamy!) that’s because my goal with what I share on IG isn’t representative of the FULL picture of my life. ☺️ That’s never my point here.

I don’t share a lot of family stuff here because I don’t use a public platform to share too much about the people who matter very most to me. And I don’t share a lot of work stuff because that isn’t the point of my personal page either.

So just for funsies I thought I’d sprinkle in just a touch of what part of my work has been recently, which is this:

In connection with the upcoming re-write / re-launch of our beloved @beckyhigginsllc Project Life app (can’t believe the app is 12 years old and we’ve had so much fun behind the scenes making it even BETTER!), I took pen to paper — literally — and personally designed a few NEW fonts to be added to the app.

So yeah, that’s kinda fun. 🤩

IF YOU’RE ALREADY BEHIND ON YOUR 2026 ALBUM, START HERE.

“You don’t need to catch up. You need somewhere to return to.”

This is how I set up my 2026 Yearbook inside the Project Life App.

I built the structure first.

The page designs repeat.
The decisions are already made.
The photographs and stories can be added as life happens or when I have the capacity to return to them.

And that last part matters.

Because a memory-keeping system shouldn’t depend on you having a perfectly organised life in order for it to work.

Some of my pages are finished.
Some are partially documented.
Some are waiting.

But the album itself is ready for me.

That’s the difference between trying to keep up and creating a system you can come back to.

SAVE this if your 2026 album needs a reset.

And if you’d like me to show exactly how I build my Yearbook pages and templates inside the Project Life App, comment YEARBOOK below.

LIFE HAS A WAY OF REORDERING WHAT MATTERS.
“Perhaps perspective isn’t about changing your life, but learning to see the life you already have differently.” SW

There are seasons in life that quietly rearrange you.

They make you question what deserves your time, what belongs in your home, what you are carrying simply because you always have, and what you might regret not noticing while it was still here.

I’m learning that a meaningful life doesn’t necessarily need more. Sometimes it needs less.

Less noise. Less excess. Less urgency over things that were never particularly important.

More presence. More beauty in the ordinary. More time with the people I love. More sun on my face, dogs under my feet, flowers on the bench and a home that feels peaceful to live in.

Perhaps that is what perspective gives us.

Not a different life, but different eyes for the life we already have.

WHAT I’M LEARNING TO MAKE ROOM FOR
“When life changes, what matters becomes remarkably clear.” SW

There was a time when I thought documenting life was mostly about remembering it.

I’m beginning to understand that it is also about paying attention to how I am living it.

Caley’s diagnosis has made me question so much of what I give my time, energy and attention to.

What deserves to stay.
What can go.
What makes home feel peaceful.
What makes everyday life unnecessarily difficult.
What I want to take care of.
And what I simply don’t want to carry anymore.

Perhaps that is one of the unexpected gifts of documenting our lives.

When you spend enough time noticing what matters, eventually you begin asking whether the life around those things supports them.

I find myself craving less noise now.
Less excess.
Less searching for things.
Less maintaining things that add very little to our lives. And more room for the people, rituals and ordinary moments I don’t want to miss.

I think Wilson Wilson is changing because I am. Not away from documenting a well-lived life. But towards something that feels like a natural extension of it: creating a home and systems that leave more room to actually live one.

DOCUMENTING THROUGH THE SEASONS WE NEVER PLANNED FOR

One of the things I love about Project Life is that it has always made room for the whole story, not just the beautiful parts.

Lately I’ve been thinking deeply about what documenting looks like when life changes dramatically. When grief enters the story. When our priorities shift. When the human condition is messy, painful and difficult to put into words.

My sister Caley’s terminal Stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis changed not only our family, but the way I approached memory keeping. For a time, the thing I had always used to document and make sense of life became incredibly difficult to do.

But it has also taught me something profound about why we document in the first place.

The ordinary photographs. The seemingly insignificant details. The people who repeatedly appear in our albums. The days we assume will simply keep coming.

Sometimes we don’t understand the value of what we are documenting until life changes.

THE VALUE OF AN ORDINARY DAY
“Perhaps the ordinary was never ordinary. We just thought there would be more of it.” SW

Caley’s terminal, incurable Stage 4 breast cancer has changed my relationship with the ordinary.

Before her diagnosis, I documented our lives because I loved remembering them. Caley, her boys, our family, the conversations, celebrations and seemingly insignificant moments in between.

I photographed them with the quiet assumption that there would always be more.

More photographs.
More birthdays.
More ordinary Tuesdays.

Then cancer entered our family and more was no longer something any of us could take for granted.

It has taught me that the value of an ordinary day is rarely visible while we are living it.

It is simply someone you love still being here.
Still answering the phone.
Still laughing at something ridiculous.
Still appearing in the photographs.

Nothing remarkable happening.

And perhaps, that is the remarkable thing.

This is what memory keeping means to me now.

Not making ordinary life look extraordinary.

Recognising that it already was.

Caley’s diagnosis has made me want to hold onto time while simultaneously teaching me that I cannot.

I can only notice it while it is here.

Perhaps that is why documenting our lives matters so deeply to me now.

Not because every day deserves to be made extraordinary.

But because one day, the most ordinary moments may be the ones we would give anything to live again.

So today, I’m noticing the ordinary.

Q: What has life taught you about the value of an ordinary day?

I’m a sucker for all KINDS of photo displays and this little situation at my niece’s wedding has my heart. It was simple + darling + meaningful.

THE VISION: Create a display of childhood photos of the bride + the groom at their wedding celebration.

THE BACKDROP: We borrowed this room divider from a friend who found it on Facebook Marketplace and used it (for a different purpose) at her own wedding recently. It was PERFECT! We secured the bottom of the piece with yard staples to be sure that a gust of wind wouldn’t take it down.

THE PHOTOS: This was definitely the most “involved” part of the process because it meant going down the photo rabbit hole of the past couple decades. I didn’t want the moms (bride’s mom + groom’s mom) to be overwhelmed with the task so instead of requesting a picture from every single year of their childhood I asked for about 20 pictures total from *throughout* their childhood, with the hopes that we’d get a variety of ages. And they did GREAT!

THE PRINTING: Since I was starting with the room divider itself, I chose a print size that would work well with that. 8x10 was too big but 5x7 was too small. I knew the 6x8 size would be PERFECT — and — I also knew that I could print those 6x8 photos with white borders to help give them some definition. How? Where? The Project Life app, baby! Let’s GO!! 🙌🏼 I ordered the prints directly through the app and of course the quality is fantastic. 🤩

THE DISPLAY: I paired the photos (for the most part) so that Kristyn + Luke were roughly around the same age, but I didn’t worry too much about getting it exactly right because in the spirit of simplifying we didn’t label them with years or ages or anything. We attached each photo with a standard clothespin. Easy breezy. So simple. So fast.

DOUBLE DUTY: Beginning with the end in mind, I knew that printing the 6x8 photos through the PL app also meant that these would go in a 6x8 album after the wedding, for Kristyn & Luke to enjoy forever! (6x8 albums + page protectors found at ShopBeckyHiggins.com)

💛 Becky
