Project Life.....Week One...2012

Project Life is all about documenting the everyday things.....

Taking a moment out of your hectic schedule and snapping a picture of what is going on right then and there...whether it's walking into the house after going out and finding the dog got into the garbage and it is now all over your kitchen floor or your 4 year playing contently on the floor by herself or even that same 4 year old having an all out temper tantrum. 

I started my first Project Life book in 2011 and had lots of fun capturing that picture each day of what was going on in our "normal" lives...not just capturing birthday's, holiday's, etc.  My daughter even got involved and would say "Mommy...you should take that picture.  It would be a good picture of the day."  (Yes I know...I have created a monster...she is as addicted to a camera at the age of 4 as I am now).  To this day we still go through the book and can recall what we did or what happened on a particular day. 

This year I decided to take on Project Life again....your suppose to choose a "word" for the year that has some kind of meaning or something that you want to accomplish for the year.  If you refer back to an older post (http://www.emilietomarophotography.blogspot.com/2012/01/to-2012.html) I talked about my "word" for the year.  It's the same as 2011 but "TAKE TWO".

Here is week one of my 2012 Project Life Book

To More New And Exciting Things Coming in 2012....

To 2012....

Dear 2012,

My word for the year is Simplify...take 2. 

My goal for this year is just to Simplify everything...get rid of the clutter in the house, get the budget/money/bills under control, organize the house, etc.  Just simply make life simpler :). 

My word for 2011 was Simplify as well and one thing led to another and I wasn't truly able to get control of life and Simplify things thus this year my word is Simplify...take 2.  I am going to give myself weekly goals of little things to do here and there and over the next 50 weeks actually accomplish those goals so that by the end of 2012 life is Simpler and not so Complicated.

Happy (Belated) New Year To All!

I hope we can all Simplify something in our lives.

Happy 4th Birthday Meagan....

My niece Meagan celebrated her 4th birthday on January 9th...
Here are some pictures of her getting ready to blow out her candles...the minute everyone started to sing to her she got very quiet and shy.

Happy Birthday Again Miss Meagan....
