Is anyone in need of a road bike? I have one to donate if you are looking for one. It’s a trek, it’s old but in good shape.

A Spooky Portrait! I love Halloween

I’ve been wanting to try Elsa so here we are

4.24.22

This one took a few days

This was from - curly hair, gold, banana leaves

Thursday prompt

Today’s prompt was glasses, food, and pink

Days 37-39

The last 2 was a picture of the same spot, day vs night (and a little double exposure

31 and 32/365

I’ve been playing with creative apps on my phone and it’s been a whole lot of fun!

The first one is distressfx & the second 2, I created in procreate on my iPad!

29/365

Yesterday, our homeschool day was just allowing a whole lot of creativity. The kids put one of those caterpillar tunnels in this tent and they had snacks and sleeping bags in there. Then we got to play outside bc it was 65 degrees. So overall = good day

Days 22-25/365

I traveled to Chattanooga this weekend hence the lack of posts.

I am playing catch up today and posting photos for day 22-25.

It’s been an eventful few days, which included:

1. one of my kids coming down with a stomach bug
2. A wedding
3. A short trip to Chattanooga for said wedding with my mom
4. A trip to an art museum, some shopping downtown, and lots of good food

I didn’t take a ton of pictures, I mainly took double exposures, most of which didn’t turn out. But as I am navigating this 365, my goal is endurance so the less pictures each day, the better.

Last self portrait of January!

I forgot to post my daily image yesterday so I posted twice this morning to get caught up

We watched Sing 2 and honestly, that franchise is underrated. We loved it so much.

A new blog post is up!

Can you guess her favorite color?

Welp… I already missed a day.

Not technically. Technically, I took a picture of my dessert on Wednesday. And I will be counting it.

However, it was not intentional at all.

My goal was to post each image, each day, no matter how terrible, so I’m doing it by posting it as the second image here. 😂

So here is day 9 (the dessert image shot with my phone in low light and I didn’t even do it in raw 🙄)

And day 10 (the self portrait taken downtown which I actually love)

had their monthly photo contest with the theme “Capturing Family Connection”

won (because she’s amazing) and some of us others were featured on the blog! I’ll add the link to my stories so you can go see all of the beautiful images included. I am grateful mine was one of them

6/365

Snow day - we had one of the biggest snows we’ve had in years & honestly, it’s been the best yet with the kids. We rode on the sled, made sugar cookies, and drank hot chocolate.

Even though I miss them as babies, it’s more fun as they get older bc we can actually do things together

Full disclosure - there were also lots of tears

We took a trip to yesterday and it was just what we needed

I was inspired by where she put Vaseline on the edge of a filter.

Ellie has really been into doing her makeup like LOL dolls so she put red on her top lip and green on her bottom lip, like a watermelon, she said.

I asked Alex and he said another day. Le sigh.

This is also day 3/365

My newsletter came out today and I wanted to share it here in case anyone would like to see the format. This will be the only one I share on my page as I want to keep this reserved for those that are subscribed.

January Theme Newsletter

I forgot to post this yesterday 🤦🏻‍♀️

An unposted image from February. I’m not sure it translates well on Instagram bc the images are so small. But this is my main platform for sharing so here we are.

The high today is going to be 68 so I don’t know if we’re going to see snow this year.
