Project 52 | Week 1 | A Year In Our Lives

So as it is with most things with me I am getting off to a later than anticipated start with my Project 52. It is a good thing that one of my life's motto's is "Better late than never!" Since I am pretty certain that isn't actually a good thing I am working to change it and well this is hopefully going to help.

I have been thinking about doing something like this for a while and really truly want to commit to doing something for my family. I want my kids to have photos from their childhood, not all the posed shots where I make sure they are wearing super cute matching outfits but the ones that really show what it was like growing up in our home. I want them to be able to look back and see and hopefully remember their favorite stuffed animal, reading books at bedtime with daddy, taking a bubble bath together, playing in the snow, our beloved Sadie-dog, being best friends with each other, and so many other moments from our lives as a family.

Now, as I posted previously I am never at a loss for great ideas but don't have the best track record for finishing the projects that I start. So I am hoping with you guys to keep me accountable and my kids as the true reason behind doing this project I will be able to keep it up and by the end of the year have an album full of images for them to look back on in the years to come that really show what our everyday life is all about.

I am going to try and follow a loose theme based on the week of the month.

1st Week of the Month: A room in our life
2nd Week of the Month: Capturing Relationships
3rd Week of the Month: Seasonal or Our Daily Routine
4th Week of the Month: The details of life
5th Week of the Month: A little something extra

So here is week 1....a little late of course!
