Documenting my Week...

Ali Edwards had been doing a 365 Life Project over here. I love how she uses sleeves with small pockets- for her pictures. I also love how Ali adds instax photos in them, (like polaroids). I decided to join her in this project, but I am only documenting a week. It's similar to the one I did 5 years ago. Once it's done, it will be amazing to look all the changes that took place over the last 5 years!

So for the past week, I have been keeping my camera and instax by my side, and taking photos of my entire day.


Breakfast, getting lunch and home work in the kids' back packs, and taking them to school on time.


Going to work and sometimes making a stop at my Grand Mother's place- to tidy it up.


Then picking the kids up on my way home, preparing snacks for them and helping them with their home work. Next it's time to prepare dinner and set the table. After dinner, there is the table/floor and dishes to wash.


Once the kids are bathed, in their pyjamas, read to and tucked into bed, I am pooped! This is my favorite time of the day because the house is quiet. My Husband and I watch our favorite shows, catch up on the computer and sometimes indulge in sweets, popcorn or simply a hot cup of coffee.


This weekend I am going to an all day crop at Bizzy B's scrapbook store. I aim to finish the album there. I'll be back with photos soon. I'm going to my first Leafs game tonight :)


P.S I scanned this image from one of my Golden Books. They have the cutest images of little children!

Enjoy your time now. When your kids are teenagers, they will be staying up later than you. No quiet time EVER!

I too, follow Ali's 365 project. I always think I want to do it too but I think it's more interesting when you have kids. What could I possibly document about 2 people in their 60's on a daily basis-LOL! Your project makes good sense...one week. It gives you an encapsulated view of your life. I love the picture with the book bags on the chairs...I remember those days long ago.

Have fun at the Leaf's Game. Don and I went to a playoff game probably 10yrs ago now, but it was a blast. Most insane crazy pro sport I have been to. It almost made me a hockey fan....almost! Missing Toronto.

Love,
Tam
