This blog is to accomplish the first: take more photos. Lately, I only take photos if I'm being paid to do so and this needs to change. I started photography because I needed a creative outlook and I love looking at the world through my camera. But it became a lot of work, a lot of editing and a lot of time. My camera(s) sit in a bag or on a shelf and go unused for far too long. The real travesty is that I have the two most beautiful subjects to focus in on and I've let that slip as well. Not any longer. I have decided to undertake the 1/52 project that's been floating around the blogging world this past year an add a bit more to it. I'll be taking a portrait of each of my girls once a week and also writing a piece on our weekly family life. I want to remember this special time and I want it to be documented for myself and for my family. A family history is some respects.
I've been extremely hesitant about posting photos of my girls and documenting our life publicly. I want our life to be ours and what's shared to be as much their choice as mine. So if you're reading this, it's likely because I've invited you to do so. Because I love you and trust you and because you love our family.
I have always loved journaling and want a place to do so. I also want a place where I can easily turn these images and words into a book for our family at the end of the year. This is a big commitment but I'm determined.
If I finish this it will help me accomplish goal number 4 (finish what you start) and goal number 3 (be healthy). Writing helps me process and make me feel much more settled. I'm also cutting out sweets except for on the weekends (this has been very hard) and trying to eat more vegetables. I should start running too but that's for a different post.
So, welcome to our family and all that delight me.
