Lots of folks are doing Project life and I had considered doing it myself. The trouble is, I'm not so good at doing any other projects while also doing that type of project. I want to have the memories and the year documented, but adding all the extra lovelies just seems out of the realm of possible for me personally.
Solution? Photo a Day! I'm taking a photo every day that represents some aspect of our daily lives. Of course, there will be plenty of days that I take more than one photo of more than one event during our day. But for this project I'm just choosing one image.
I've yet to decide how I'll use these images other than uploading them to Shuttercal each day. I'm considering doing their nifty Shoebox plan but as yet, I am undecided. At any rate, I thought I'd share my photos for this week along with the captions I'm including over at Shuttercal. It'll give you a little glimpse into our daily lives here as Casa Schneider.
Jan 1 The aftermath from New's Year Eve celebration with our family. We had the Korngiebel clan, Sr. Schneider's and Millie, Hunter, Maddie, Danielle and Jeremy all sharing a meal of Prime Rib. Lots to clean up afterwards!
Jan 2 Jeremy and I are on day 11 of a nasty chest cold we picked up while in Mexico. Lots of tissues in use here. Thank God for Puffs Plus!
Jan 3 Maddie and Hunter and I broke for lunch this afternoon. Nothing special, just drag out but we did it together.
Jan 4 Maddie got these amazing custom designed Dr. Seuss Converse for Christmas. She loves them, Mom loves them, her friends love them, it's all good!
Jan 5 Both the kids got Yo-Yo's in their stockings and they've been spending a lot of time honing their skills!
Jan 6 Today marks day 16 that I've been sick. There are knives in my head each time I breath in through my nose. It seems like the congestion is never going to end and I begin to wonder if there is a sinus infection going on. These are my 'supplies' that I am using to make it a bit more bearable.
Jan 7 Jeremy is faithful to read his bible each morning. He inspires me to follow suit.
Part of my process is to hone my 'delete' skills (that may have something to do with the ridiculous number of photos I am now storing) The other part is too reacquaint myself with Manual again. I used to always shoot manual, but in the last couple of years I switched back to Aperture Priority. I'm enjoying the switch so far.

Are you doing a similar project this year?
Great pics! Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteget well soon!! love your photos!
ReplyDeleteThe photo a day sounds really good! I wish I could do project life too but may be too overwhelming! I'm Thinking of doing a monthly project.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a neat project to take on! I love how your pics are very much captures of the everyday. In retrospect, these events sometimes seem even more important than documenting yet another birthday, KWIM?
ReplyDeleteI love this idea (and tried it last year but only made it through about four days, LOL!) :)
ReplyDeletegreat first week!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, feel better! Lovely idea.
ReplyDeleteI really like this idea. I love the shoes, some awesome pea helped me order my own custom ones!
ReplyDeleteOh, those shoes!!! I would love me a pair of those. Where'd you go to get them custom made?
ReplyDeleteLove all of these! I'm also doing photo-a-day, and really enjoying the process of learning to shoot in manual.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to read you all the time...love what you are doing Ursula!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics and thanks for sharing 'your life' (or part of it) with us :)
ReplyDeleteSylvia xx
I hear you on the delete photos part. It's crazy how many terrible photos we all have stored in our cameras/computers/external drives/phones....great job on the PAD class Ursula.
ReplyDeleteCool pictures!!! :)
ReplyDeletei love the cat in the hat sneakers.. great photos...
ReplyDeleteThanks for inviting me into your life. I enjoyed reading your blog today. :)
ReplyDeletegreat pictures! i love the dr. seuss converse too!
ReplyDeleteMy family and I are passing around some type of sickness so I know what you're going through! Hope you all feel better real soon!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, sorry to hear you are under the weather...I suffer from multiple sinus infections each year, and that does sound like one. I'm so sorry. Those are to debilitating. I have a new devotional by Holly Gerth that I am loving, you can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/Gods-Heart-You-Embracing-Worth/dp/0736938559/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326155743&sr=8-1
ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd share in case you were looking for one :)

Fun shots, and yeah for manual - it's all I do these days, and the freedom it gives is amazing. But as you know, with freedom comes responsibility. You did well!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - wat a wonderful way to document your everyday life. Hope all those vitimans kick in soon and you get better.
