Project 365 2013 January 27th - February 2nd Dine and Dish

One of my favorite Instagram photos from the week.

January 27th Cake Decorating

January 27th: As I mentioned in this post, Kelly is taking a cake decorating class for 4-H. We’be been practicing, practicing, practicing! If you have any helpful tips, please pass them along. She has really taken to it and is having a lot of fun!

Jan 28 Door

January 28th: 70 degrees today, which is amazing for January! This is a typical view from my front door when it’s nice outside… tons of neighbor kids all playing together. I love where we live!

Jan 29 Teapot

January 29th: Sunny and 70 yesterday, cold and rainy today. I spent some time playing around with the light in different parts of my house. This is my favorite picture from my play time.

Jan-30-Dog-Bed

January 30th: I took one month of being with us, but Meg finally decided the bed we bought her was a pretty comfy place to be. (Little did I know that this was the start of her being a little bit sick… she had a tummy bug for the rest of the week.)

Jan31-Leah-BW

January 31st: She seemed so big to me today. She’s growing up quicker than I’m ready for!

Feb2-Gingerbread-Houses

February 1st: We have the sweetest neighbors who invite the neighbor kids over every year to decorate Valentine’s Gingerbread Houses. Even though their own kids are grown and out of the house, they carry on this fun tradition with the rest of us. It’s one of my favorite nights of the year.

Feb2 Windex

February 2nd: Spent pretty much the entire day “Spring Cleaning”. Since the groundhog predicted spring is near, I thought I’d get a head start on the cleaning. Lord knows my house could use it!

Remember you can see outtakes of our week on Instagram, Facebook and Flickr!

View previous Project 365 pictures here. Leave a link to your Project 365 and / or Project Life pictures if you are doing one. I’d love to see them!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

      I know – it has been so nuts. I would much rather have the warm, naturally, but I wonder if that’s why everyone is getting so sick this year. Craziness!

    Every time I see your Project 365 posts, I’m tempted to start doing this myself. And a few days later, I kick myself for failing to take one photo. 😉

      🙂 I totally know what you mean! I love doing it, but sometimes it takes a lot of effort to remember to take a picture! (Hence, the picture of Windex 😉 )

    Great photos. I’m doing Project Life this year (have sort of been doing it for years) but I’m finding myself going “work on Project Life or bake some cookies”…it’s always a challenge to make up my mind.

        Combo of both. I bought the Clementine Kit over a year ago and use that binder and some of the journal cards…but I find they are a bit limited (especially since they are the older versions of just a simple design and some lines-the newer versions are much cooler) so I use a lot of my own scrapbooking stash, I have a PL kit club subscription from Studio Calico and download some stuff from the internet. I’m actually doing two Project Life binders…the general one and a dinner one…where I photograph my main dinner entree for a year (the journal cards just have the name of the dish and list restaurant or cookbook made from-trying to keep that one simple).

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!
.
My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢
.
I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

It took me 2 months to get this Crispy Chickpea Pantry Pasta recipe up on the blog. 🤦‍♀️But it’s there now! You can find the link in my Instagram profile.
.
Also, just noticed Instagram took away the like count on posts. I kind of like that...what do you think?

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

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? 😂
