Week in the Life (Saturday Recap)

Hello everyone!

6 days down and 1 to go.

It's been a lot of work. But sooooo worth it!

Wouldn't you agree?

Here are my photos from Saturday.

So, I made a change today.

 

I stopped with the idea of 1 photo per hour. I just took a photo when something spoke to me.

 

And I'm super happy with today's mix of captured images. It just feels right.

 

Now it's your turn to share with me.



Week in the Life (Friday recap)

Hello everyone!

Here we are at day 5 (Friday) of Week in the Life.

Which, if truth be told, could be called the Caylee show.

10:00 watching my son change his daughter's diaper

 

10:30 eating time / I had to put away all the electronic

devices and choose to spend the time holding her instead /

no regrets

 

11:02 grandpa playing Superman / something he did with

all our little ones at bedtime until they were just too big to do it anymore

 

11:22 story time / bad photo but so much story in here for me /

my husband reading to his grand baby / grand baby listening intently

 

11:55 bath time / she is quite the happy little mermaid

 

3:40  wedding cake cupcake

 

3:41 someone tasting the frosting

 

5:03 dropping off girls for school fundraiser / roller skating

 

8:40 1st real food / sweet potatoes / ate almost the entire serving

 

Thoughts for the day?

 

Really taking less photos now, despite carrying the camera around in my purse.

 

Guess I was living in the moments more than I was capturing the moments.

 

And that's okay with me!

 

How are you doing on your WITL?



Week in the Life (Thursday recap)

 

 

 

Happy Friday everyone!

 

I'm sharing Thursday's photos for Week in the Life today.

So how is everyone doing keeping up with their WITL?

 

I'm good, but noticing fewer and fewer photos each day....

 

Hoping I make it through the last 3 days, but I do have some backup help coming.

 

I have to work weekends, so I'm having my girls help take photos and record what happens around here.  And I love that I'll get their perspective on this project too!

 

Now go have a fabulous day!



Week in the Life (Wednesday recap)

 

 

Hello everyone.

 

It's time to share Wednesday's photos from WITL.

6:00 Family dinner at Chili's / chips and salsa are a must have / 

 planned on Texas Roadhouse but ran too late from dentist

7:50 Facetime with Tater / so not impressed /

8:00 watched the last 30 minutes of Vball practice

 

9:00 bath and bed for me / sore throat and freezing cold / going to get good night sleep to fight off possible cold

 

 

So how is this project going for everyone?

 

I'm still loving it, but the family is getting sick of seeing me pull out the camera. And it's getting harder remember to take a photo every hour.

 

Otherwise, I'm still going strong.

 

And I'm starting to work on ideas for how I want the WITL binder to look. I decided to print 2 full page collages for each day, along with 1 full page photo to highlight. And I'm creating a cover page for each day of the week.

 

Now go have a fabulous day!

 

Week in the LIfe (Tuesday Recap)
