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.

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……

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 close to 800 photos submitted on Instagram.

January 18th The girls have been begging me to buy a bunch of different flavored Oreos so they could do the blindfolded Oreo tasting challenge. It turns out, apparently they don’t really love Oreos because we now have 6 bags of Oreos no one wants to eat.

January 19th I’m a stationary hoarder. It’s a fact. If you follow me on Snapchat and watched my coffee talk, you’ll see I’m making an attempt to unload my cards in a way that might brighten others days. So, I’ve spent my afternoon writing cards to strangers who are friends of my Snapchat friends…and it makes me happy to do it!
PS these gorgeous cards are illustrated by Jenny Bowers. Such talent!

January 20th I picked Leah up sick from school today, and she was acting so happy and perky. It was then that I gave her a lecture about not “faking” sick and how she always needs to tell the truth. 20 minutes later, she threw up on her way to the bathroom, all over the floor. Talk about mom guilt!

January 21st This morning on my Snapchat Coffee Talk I shared about my longtime struggle with S.A.D. I’m so thankful for friends who’ve known me a long time who recognize when I’m in one of these funks and reach out to pull me out of it. This month seems to have hit me harder than normal. Is it summer yet?? I’m so ready!…

January 11th: These seashells from our summer vacation to Tybee Island remind me that summer will be here again someday. I absolutely have no love for winter and am counting down the dreary days until the warmer weather is here again.

January 12th: A pop of color on this dreary January day.

January 13th: My nighttime ritual always includes 1-2 cups of Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea (it’s my favorite)….

(My favorite Instagram photo from the week)

January 13th: Ella got a guitar for Christmas. Today, she broke it out in pure rock style fashion… complete with sunglasses and torn tights. I’ve committed to try and take all of my Project 365 pictures with my DSLR, but if I hadn’t, this Instagram picture would have been in this spot….

Project 365 2013: Our Life in Photos January 1st – January 12th

Kristen — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:01:25 +0000

Project 365 2013 is a photo a day project and a glimpse into our everyday life. My Project 365 goal for the year is to take the majority of pictures with my Nikon DSLR instead of my iPhone. I am hoping to stretch and improve my skills as a photographer as part of the project. More importantly, I hope to capture the fleeting moments of our life so we can look back and remember things we might have forgotten otherwise.

In 2013 I am also participating in Becky Higgins Project Life, which is a print / album concept for my Project 365 photos. This is a first for me, as I am and have always been horrible about actually printing out my photos! It should be a fun challenge.

If you are participating in Project 365 and/or Project Life this year, let me know. I’d love to follow along on your journey!

For now, here is my first installment of Project 365 2013.

January 1st: We spent New Years Eve at a hotel in Dallas, TX with my parents celebrating my moms 80th birthday! Even Meg got in on the chance to ring in 2013.

January 2nd: Over the holiday break, we spent a lot of time playing board and card games. Phase 10 is one of my absolute favorite games to play!

January 3rd: Ugh… I hate cold weather and find myself being lazy and wearing yoga pants and my comfy slippers all day! It’s like my winter uniform….

Project 365 2012 – Finishing Up the Year Part 2

Kristen — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:59:50 +0000

Taking a picture a day in 2012 hasn’t been hard for me. In fact, I take so many pictures each day sometimes the hardest part is choosing which picture gets to be the picture of the day. Getting them uploaded to my blog in a timely manner has also been difficult, but so worth it. In my 2012 Project 365 wrap up post next, I’ll reflect some on what finishing this Project 365 has meant to me. Until then, here is my second to last Project 365 2012 post.

November 1st: I find it interesting that one thing that hasn’t evolved much is the halloween candy bucket. This is the same type of cheap bucket I used to trick-or-treat with!

November 2nd: A baking day = a happy day!

November 3rd: Kelly’s last day of being 8!

Can you tell I’m playing catch up? I had no idea that I hadn’t posted a Project 365 post since October! Yikes! So, in the next three blog posts, I am going to finish up the pictures I still haven’t shared… which means that yes! I finally completed a Project 365 and posted a picture from each day of the year! I plan on doing Project 365 again in 2013, so stay tuned for more frequent Project 365 posts! But for now, here the Project 365 completion post, part 1 of 3!
