photo a day: update

I haven't posted an update of my photo a day: in may progress in awhile, so here are the past couple weeks (go here to see the first part of the month). I believe I've only missed 2 days out of the whole month, and plan to include journaling on those days instead. I've really enjoyed capturing a picture each day - of the random events (hanging out in the hammock, shoveling mulch, etc) to the not-so-random events (graduation, Mother's Day, etc). I think it's really neat how a picture can bring back memories surrounding that snapshot in time - be it a mundane event or a big memorable event. Just looking at the picture of my hubby shoveling mulch from the wheelbarrow brought back the memory of a funny conversation we were having as he was shoveling. Love that! :)

photo a day: may 2-6

I mentioned last week that I am taking a photo each day this month and will be putting them into an album at the end of the month. A simple approach to capturing one moment each day this month, and having a simple album at the end. Below are pictures from the past several days :)

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 :)
