A Day In The Life /// March 8, 2014

Hello there.
It's Monday and just like I told myself(which doesn't always happen, folks) I am editing and blogging some of my photos from Saturday,
from my A Day In The Life project.
I did it.
I       D   I  D        I  T.
So hooray for me!

//////////////

My morning started off early at my sister's where I had spent the night.... I had to get home so Eric could head down to the cabin.
Pearl Jam for the drive home.
Home to kids still in pajamas; baby dolls, cartoons and video games until it was time to get ready to head to the lake to watch the
Polar Plunge.

The Polar Plunge....

This was fun to watch; crazy costumes, hats, wigs, super heros, Sponge Bob... you name it.

I was thinking how fun it would be to do with a group, but then I remembered how COLD we were just standing outside, 

let alone actually getting IN the freezing water. Crazy! 

Out for pizza for lunch with my mom and then a little shopping.

I have to say, it makes me really  HAPPY  to see the tulips and lilies, Spring and Easter things

 out in all of the stores now. Hoooray! Spring really is just around the corner.

Back home and time to get ready for the cousins to come over for a SLEEP OVER.

All of the cousins get along so good and love being together.

I do LOVE that.

And what is better than staying up late, watching movies and eating popcorn + movie candy?

Insta-pics of the evening...

It was a good day.
A long day.
A cold day.
And a fun day.

I could have went on and on with my pictures.... but I had to stop somewhere.
I look forward to doing this again in the Summer, so a lot of our day(and pictures) can be outside.
Now that is something I am REALLY looking forward to it.

Hope you enjoyed seeing just a little bit of our day Saturday.

Week In The Life :: March 2014

Hello,  Monday.
Hello,  Week In The Life Day 1.
My week will be Monday 3- Sunday March 9.
Are you familiar with the Week In The Life project?
You can read more about it here, this is the second time I am attempting it... I did it for the first time in September, about 6 months ago,
almost exactly I guess.
And I completed it, for which I was/am so proud of myself for.
Little things folks, little things.


Lately I have been in such a rut, photography-wise, creativity-wise.... Maybe even just life-wise?
I have been needing a project, a goal, a challenge of some sort, so this is it.
I am in need of some real changes, really in all areas of my life,  and this is just a baby step towards getting myself out of this damn
rut already.

I know everyone does this differently, and I don't have any super lofty goals... I just want to capture the little everyday moments of

my day-to-day life and I want to FINISH.

That's all really.

I want to do it and I want to complete it.

So for the next week my Nikon and my iphone will be charged and by my side.... documenting all of those little moments that make up

these days,  that tells a little bit of the story of my life in March of 2014.

One thing I did not do enough of last time, that I am definitely going to try to beef up on this time, is taking more notes.

My memory is not great and I want to remember what our mornings were like, what kind of homework the kids(just Wyatt really) were doing,

what our after school activities were, what the kid's favorite after-school snacks were and what I normally packed in their lunches.

What exactly I did with my days, just exactly when did I work and how... so many little details you think you will never forget.

So... wish me luck!

Today is Day 1, so you know I will have lots of motivation today... let's just hope it lasts for the next week.

I can totally do this.

I AM doing this.

Anyone have any advice, tips, pointers, etc. for me on the is little project??

//////////

Happy Monday, y'all.
