photo a day: in may

I have a goal for May: to take a photo a day. I usually take photos daily anyways, but am making it a goal to consciously take a photo in order to put them together in some sort of mini album at the end of the month. To document each day in a simple way. This year, May is full of a lot of events, happenings and milestones for our family. 
I want to be sure to capture those, along with the quiet days. I also plan to work each photo into Project Life (which yes, has been dormant for a bit - more on this soon, as well as an update :)). I don't plan to share every single picture here each day, but maybe a few updates here and there on the weekends. So, here's to May: I can't wait to see each day :)
Want to join me in this "Photo a Day in May"? Take one photo each day, documenting the simple or mundane, or big events or happenings. Just one photo - the idea is to keep it low-stress and simple :) At the end of the month, I will be sharing how I will be putting them into a mini album. My hope is that this will be alongside any other projects I have going on as a simple everyday documentation through one photo. Don't have a photo for May 1? Make it your title page in your mini - at the end of the month write up a quick note about your month. Or do a collage of a few of your fave pictures from the month :) Miss a day taking a photo? No worries! Take a "make-up" picture and document it as that. It will be a record of how sometimes our days are crazy or things are forgotten and how that is a part of life :)

  8. An Australian blogger, fatmumslim does a monthly photo a day challenge where she posts themes for each day. It's a fun way to document your life. Mel B
