Project 365 2020: Our Life In Photos January 13th – 19th

Kristen — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 03:55:00 +0000

Project 365 2020 is a photo a day project I am participating in using mostly my Nikon DSLR. Here is a look at our life in photos from January 13th – January 19th 2020.

This past week was one of those weeks where it was just so bitter cold out and dreary…I wanted to pull the covers up over my head and stay in bed all week. I just wasn’t feeling it. It didn’t help that my favorite little potted plant got knocked off the shelf by Shady and broke. Kelly made “Meep” in her ceramics class and I just love him so! Thankfully Nick was able to glue him back together. I’m hoping he stays safe from now on.

This week in pictures isn’t very exciting because I really tried to avoid leaving the house as much as possible. With an extra day off school for “ice”, that wasn’t too hard of a task. Here below is our week in pictures for Project 365 January 13th-19th….

Project 365 2020: Our Life In Photos January 1st – 12th

Kristen — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 17:10:52 +0000

Project 365 is a photo a day project I am participating in using mostly my Nikon DSLR. Here is a look at our life in photos from January 1st – January 11th 2020.

The other day, I was looking through some of my 14 years of blog posts and kept coming across my old Project 365 photos from years past. Looking at the pictures from the photo a day projects I participated in made me so happy. In an effort to reclaim this space, focusing on things that make me happy, I’ve decided in 2020 to participate once again.

The following are my photos from January 1st – 11th. I’m not going to hold myself to super strict rules or standards, but one goal I have is to pull out my DSLR more often to shoot instead of always using my handy camera phone. We’ll see how well I do! Here is my first week of Project 365 2020. …

Our 1 Second Everyday Video Project

Kristen — Sat, 30 Apr 2016 21:49:38 +0000

How I’ve documented the past 365 days using the 1 Second Everyday Video App and why I have loved every second of it! Check out the images from our year as well as the entire video, below.

Exactly one year ago May 1st, I started a journey of a lifetime. Yes, I got my very first tattoo, but more importantly I started my own 1 Second Everyday Video project.

My friend Cheryl was into her second year of capturing 1 second of video memories everyday. I fell in love with her very first 365 day compilation and decided I wanted to give this kind of video project a try as well. I am so very glad I did. Doing a 1 Second Everyday video project has probably been one of the most fun and meaningful projects I’ve ever embarked on. …

Our Life in Photos #Imperfect366 Week 7

Kristen — Mon, 15 Feb 2016 04:18:23 +0000

A look back at our week 7 in photos as part of the #Imperfect366 No Rules Photography Project plus other snaps from the week. Check out the over 1200 photos submitted on Instagram.

I broke my no-rules rules many times this week…my goal was to take most of my Imperfect 366 pictures with my Nikon DSLR, but it just didn’t happen this week for some reason. I did need to remember though that iPhone pictures are better than no pictures, right? I decided to just go with it, and hopefully this coming week I’ll get back on the DSLR game. If not, still no sweat. That’s the great thing about a “no rules” photography project!

The cupcake picture is from my Rock Your Happy newsletter from Friday. I tackled the topic of “busy bragging” and saying goodbye to it, for good. If you are interested in reading the newsletter, you can check it out here and can even subscribe if you are interested. I send these “happy letters” out just once a week and really love writing them. I hope you love receiving them!

Now, let’s see what happened this week around here, in photos……

Our Life in Photos #Imperfect366 Week 5

Kristen — Mon, 01 Feb 2016 03:27:04 +0000

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 900photos submitted on Instagram.

It was a week of many days of “almost” forgetting to take a picture for the day, and I had to rely on iPhone pictures 2 of the days, but you know what? That’s what #Imperfect366 is all about…remembering that every day isn’t going to be perfect, and an iPhone picture is better than no picture! Right? (The photo above is from my Rock Your Happy Newsletter! Are you subscribed? If not you can check out the first one that went out by clicking here, and if you are so inclined to receive a weekly piece of happy mail, feel free to sign up!)

OK on to our week in photos……

How I Use My Polaroid Printer For Bullet Journaling

Kristen — Fri, 29 Jan 2016 01:53:28 +0000

How I use this Polaroid Printer as a memory keeping component in my bullet journal. (PS – this would be a great way to add photos to your personal recipe books too!)

Since I shared the walk through video and blog post about Bullet Journaling a few weeks ago, I’ve had a ton of questions about my process. I thought it’d be helpful if I’d share some of the ways Bullet Journaling is working for me and some of the various tools I use that make me love it so much. Of course, the original Bullet Journal system is a very basic, straight forward approach, however because the system is so flexible, so many people have adapted it to what works for them.

I am using my Bullet Journal as a combination monthly and daily planner, as well as a way to capture memories through journaling each day. For a complete run down of the various things I do in my bullet journal, make sure to check out my original blog post. Today though, I’d love to share with you how I’m using the Polaroid Zip Mobile Printer to incorporate images into my bullet journal. I love this printer so much and I am so happy to finally find something that makes it really easy for me to get my photos out of my phone, camera and computer hard drive and printed. …

Our Life In Photos #Imperfect366 Week 4

Kristen — Mon, 25 Jan 2016 00:38:55 +0000

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