Project 52: Week 13

This week's theme is technology.

I couldn't resist snapping this photo of my iPhone 6. Couldn't live without it. (Although I could live without my recent high phone bills.)

I made that wallpaper in the Project Life app, in case you were wondering. Fun fact: I nearly always use photos as my lock screen wallpaper, but rarely as my main menu wallpaper. :)

Project 52: Week 12

This week's theme is silhouette.

When I saw this was our theme, I knew exactly what photo I took this week that I wanted to use. We walked down to our lake earlier this weekend, and I was able to get some amazing sunset shots using my iPhone. Yes, that's right, my iPhone. When we were close to our house, I captured some with my camera, but this one I'm just in love with. You can see the little fishing boy statue that always sits by our lake, the reflection on our lake, and obviously, the sunset was just outstanding. I felt so happy taking this shot and so lucky to be able to witness it.

Project 52: Weeks 10 & 11

The theme for week 10 was self portrait. The theme for week 11 was texture.

Wow! Life has been crazy these past few weeks. It's been go-go-go, so I'm playing catch up on blog stuff. :) Here is my self portrait, taken at work for a friend who's step daughter wanted to see me (lol):



And here is week 11's photo for texture:



I had several photos I could use for texture, but I'm in love with this photo and the fact that I took it with my iPhone. Man, technology. It just gets better and better.

Be back soon to tell you what we've been up to. <3

Project 52: Week 9

This week's theme is black and white.

More snow. It just won't stop, people. It's pretty much all that happens here anymore. The first shot is a photo I took on our way to work yesterday (no, I wasn't driving). The other is from when we picked up Cam early from school the other day. Mom-of-the-year over here forgot his gloves, so J let him use his. If you also notice, he's really mad because we interrupted him watching Duck Tales at school. Life is hard at 5 years old. :)

Project 52: Week 8

Last week's theme is outtake.

Last week was not a good week for me. I came down with a nasty stomach bug at the end of the week that threw me all sorts of off for days. I don't recover like I used to from illness.

Here is an outtake from when I was attempting to take of the kids in the snow the other weekend. Our other cat Zebra happened to be on the deck and I snapped this of him.

This snow just won't go away around here. I am officially DONE with it. It is interfering with my life in all sorts of ways (Scentsy deliveries, plans with friends, etc.) I'm tired of canceling and rearranging stuff! Here's to spring coming soon!

Project 52: Week 7

This week's theme is love.

I had to post two photos of my gorgeous roses J got me for Valentine's Day. He knows someone who opened a flower shop last year so I told him I expected flowers for a lot of occasions now (jokingly... sort of). As I marveled at how pretty they were, he asked if he did okay. (DID HE DO OKAY?!) I said yes, obviously, that they were very beautiful. That's when he told me he'd never bought flowers for anyone before. I was shocked, and I felt so very special. It was the best gift he could've given and it was about more than just the flowers.

Project 52: Week 6

This week's theme is unbalanced.

This was kind of a hard one. I actually had another idea, but didn't have time to actually go get the photo. This is a set of magnetic toys the boys play with a lot. Their creation is definitely a bit unbalanced. :)

Project 52: Week 5

This week's theme is morning.

Well here we are at week 5 and I'm just trucking along! I'm pretty proud of myself for sticking with this thing! I am off on vacation this week so I had the opportunity to take the DSLR out this morning once the sun was good and up. I actually got the idea for it yesterday as I was getting the mail. I realized what a good photo it would be from this angle and sure enough, there it is! I was excited about my little bit of sunflare I got too. :)

Project 52: Week 4

This week's theme is shadows.

I had high hopes for this week. I kept thinking of all these cool shadow photos I could take and I just kept forgetting. Then the past few days it's been cloudy when I've been outside. Really frustrating when you realize it's Friday and you missed all those opportunities.

But, I decided to just take my photo inside this week. You win some, you lose some. :)

Cameron is always doing some sort of ninja moves around the house so I told him to strike a pose for me. Turned out better than I thought it would.

Project 52: Week 3

This week's theme is out of focus.

Our cat Pepper is such a lovable little fellow. He is an outside kitty who is always sitting right beside our sliding glass door so he can monitor what we are doing. If we are outside he is all over us. He is never, ever far away from our house. I'm happy he showed up in our yard last summer so we could adopt him into the family.

Project 52: Week 2

This week's theme is my everyday.

I promise I won't do black and white photos every week. I snapped this really quickly one morning as we were all getting ready for school and work. The older kids were getting in some tablet time before getting on the bus, while J was putting Cam's socks and shoes on. He was being... well, Cameron. Super silly and full of morning energy.

Project 52: Week 1

This week's theme is time.

This clock is J's, and it is in our living room. It is what we use to tell us if it's time for the kids to go wait for the bus, what time we should leave for work, and what time our favorite shows are on. It is the only analog clock in our house.
