A look back at our week in photos as part of the #Imperfect366 No Rules Photography Project plus other snaps from the week. Check out the over 1000 photos submitted on Instagram.

Be Happy Flowers

What a great week it was at our house. Nothing really exciting happened, but sometimes those are the best kinds of weeks! (The photo above is from my Rock Your Happy Newsletter this week where I talked about needing an attitude adjustment. If you missed signing up and want a weekly dose of happiness in your inbox, you can view the past newsletters here and sign up if you want!)

Now on to our week in photos…

February 1st Bullet Journal Monthly Highlights page

February 1st: One of the things I really love about bullet journaling (find out about bullet journaling here) is that it basically forces you to close out each month, take time to reflect, and then you create plans and layouts for the next month. It’s more than simply turning the page as you would in a traditional planner to start a new month. Instead, you are given the chance to start completely new and fresh and you are encouraged to take time to look at the past month closely before you move on. Evaluating what worked and what didn’t, then tweaking to meet your needs, regularly. I love that.
With that being said, my monthly moments pages are definitely some of my favorites!

February 3rd Black Dog and Photography

February 3rd: I had a photog play date with @annehollond and@leslieradams I’m always so inspired by these two and in awe of their talent!

Stroopwafels

February 4th: Pretty much the best thing to happen to me today was a friend dropped off some Stroopwafels for me and my Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Celestial Tea shipment arrived from Amazon. Other than that, I’m so glad to be heading to the Inspired for Life conference this weekend! I’m needing the personal re-fuel!

Yellow Flowers

February 5th: My second official Rock Your Happy newsletter just went out, and it was kind of hard to write because I’m feeling annoyed and perturbed today. But after I was done writing it I found that focusing on the happy, made me happy. Crazy how that happens 🙂

February 6th Starbucks in a Hotel

February 6th:  As a gift to myself for surviving January, which is always a hard month for me, I made the decision to do one thing each week in February to pamper myself.
Well my friend Kelly and I went to a local Inspired for Life conference and decided to get a hotel room for the night. Is there much better than a quiet morning in a quiet hotel, with your coffee, books, writing, etc? I think not.

February 7th Valentine's Day Boxes

February 7th: Making your box for school Valentine’s is serious work requiring loads of concentration!

And here are a few more snaps from our week below. Snapchat and other pics below:

Carpool Coffee

Friends who deliver coffee in carloop are the best kinds of friends to have.

If you ever get the chance to hear Glennon from Momastery speak, do it. I could have listened to her all night long…so funny, honest, down to earth, inspiring and real! Everything you’d hope she would be. Plus, she gives great hugs!

Margarita

Great margarita, even better company!

I needed a pop of spring color on my nails. This OPI polish was perfect!

H is for...high!
.
It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!

E is for...Excitement!
.
There’s a lot of excitement in Kansas City as our beloved @chiefs head back to the Super Bowl this weekend! #runitback 🏈
.
It’s so strange because winning the super bowl last year was the last “normal” thing that happened before the pandemic hit. We went from a city full of excitement to shutting down and sheltering in place. Maybe when we win and bring the trophy home this year, it’ll be the start of something great. Let’s hope!
.
Who are you rooting for Sunday? Chiefs, Buccaneers or tacos? 😂

D is for... Dreary (and Dog)
February has always been my least favorite month. I have a special name for this month that may start with another not so nice F word...🤭.
.
In Kansas, the sun usually doesn't shine that often, it's cold, and just kind of gray and blah.
.
My indoor jungle makes me happy though...especially this space in my office. Houseplants almost makes me forget we’re in the “F” month 😂.
.
Also, my dog (my favorite d word) would not sit still for a picture when I had my tripod set up, but I finally caught her sitting on her bed and had to catch a picture with my phone. Swipe and you’ll see she is much overdue for a haircut.

C is for Coaching, Coffee and Crystals! Lots of C words today. My @rockyourhappy coaching practice has been the best thing. I am so lucky to be working with really great clients who are doing the hard work and making big changes in their lives. It’s been the perfect fit for me and I know it’s what I am meant to be doing. Coffee, of course, is my favorite C word and Crystals…my daughters got me into the energy powers of crystals and it’s been really fun to learn all about them.

My beautiful, custom, Rock Your Happy bullet journal is from @maisielaneco . Coffee/espresso is from @mistoboxcoffee Fabulous photography backdrop is from @poppybeesurfaces . Crystals are from a wonderful local shop here in town.

B is for Books! Are you a big reader? I wasn’t really a reader growing up. Well, I take that back. In junior high I plowed through the Sweet Valley High series (anyone else?) 😊 And when I was in elementary school I would bust my butt to get to the highest level in the SRA Reading box before anyone else. But I wasn’t a kid who you’d find with their nose in a book, ever.
.

It wasn’t until I was an adult, and my kids began to sleep through the night, that I started reading for fun. Now, I read all the time and it’s one of my favorite pastimes. I love talking books with people and sharing recommendations. I really don’t watch TV, so books, especially right now, is my main form of entertainment.
.

This is why for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photography challenge, I knew that Books would be my B. It’s my favorite B word (beating out Bullet Journaling, Bread, Blankets, Be Happy, etc).

A is for Alone. I think one of the hardest things for me to get used to this past year is rarely being alone. My husband used to travel all the time. My school aged kids were in school all day while I worked. I’d even get several days a month in a hotel room by myself for my work travels. I like my alone time and it’s definitely something I miss.
.

I’m easily distracted so you will usually find me working in complete silence…maybe just the hum of my essential oil diffuser and the sound of my fingers on my keyboard. I need the quiet and treasure silence.
.

With that said, I’ve loved the extra time with my family - and we’ve all learned over the past several months how to give each other space and recognize when we need that space. As of today, my kids all are back to school full time in person 😢. Nick is still working from home and will be for the time being, but now the aloneness feels strange. I’m sure we’ll get used to this “new normal” yet again!
.

This month in @kimklassen photography Inner Circle, we’re tackling the alphabet, with an A-Z photography challenge (interpreting that however we see fit). If you want to join us, check out this wonderful community of photographers at @kimklassen_innercircle 📷.
