Project 365, Days 9-17
9/365: Theo’s new play kitchen.
10/365: The Chef.
11/365: Recently remodeled lounge area in the basement of my office building.  I’m so impressed.
12/365:  Stalling at bedtime.  Must. Inspect. Toothbrush.
13/365: Vintage bowls and fresh produce.  Perfect combination.
14/365: Niko.
15/365: Grabbing on, pulling up, and standing around.
16/365: Red fingerless gloves, perfect for driving on these cold, dreary days…courtesy of one Knittin’ Nana.
17/365:  Going up.
Day 17? That’s what you get when you mix oh-crap-it’s-9:30pm-and-I-haven’t-taken-a-picture-yet-today-and-I’m-already-at-work-hurry-quick-where’s-my-phone? and Photobucket‘s fun editing tools.  Sorry, slow picture day I guess.  Still turned out kinda cool anyway, right?  If not, then just hush up.
What’s your pick for favorite pic of the week?  I kinda like days 13 and 15 the best.  Oh, and 11 and 12.  Clearly, I suck at picking a favorite!

Project 365, Days 1-8:

1/365: Theo snuggling up next to his cousin’s new kitten, Pikachu
2/365: The view from my in-laws’ back porch
3/365: Daddy and Dexter at Don Pablo’s (yum.)
4/365: My awesome new Simples
5/365: My baby boy sleeping while we (I) walked around the neighborhood on a warm day
7/365: Puffs on the bed
8/365: Having fun at the indoor water park

So there are the first 8 pictures of this project.  Obviously, I have taken way more than 8 pictures in the last 8 days and it was really hard deciding which ones I would post.  This is going to be harder than I thought!

Hope you enjoyed it.  Which picture is your favorite?  I can’t decide…I really like them all.

Oh, and y’all.  That Tuscan Chili was to-die-for!  My only complaint – there were no leftovers!

resolutions and such

Posted on by mommyinthemidwest

I’ve never been much on New Year’s resolutions.  I think I vowed to keep the lose-weight/eat-healthy/exercise-more resolution more than once.  Then forgot all about it by the time Valentine candy came around. 

This year, I’m not making a resolution to do anything that makes me feel defeated from day one.  I have seen a few blogs with people starting Project 365.  This does overwhelm me a bit, but it’s definitely possible and I think it will be good for me for a couple of reasons.  The point is to take a picture every day for a year and post it in a blog. I’ll try to just do a 365 post once a week or every 2 weeks. 

I want to get better at taking pictures.  I want to experiment more with the different settings on my camera.  I want to get better at shooting in manual.  I don’t want 2 weeks to go by without taking pictures of my kids ever again, but I also want to take pictures of things besides my kids.  I want to be able to look back at the posts and see what was going on in my world every single day for a whole year.

I think it will be kind of cool and fun, if not a little daunting.  Hope I can stick with it. Just by posting it here, I’m holding myself more accountalbe.

we shall see,
