Photo 365 Challenge

Normally I am not a typical new years resolutions or new year, new me type of person, but I did decide to do a Photo 365 Challenge this year: one photo every day for a year.

I am hoping this will grow my photography skills that I use both personally and professionally as I push myself to overcome some obstacles and weaknesses I see in my photography.

So far I've felt like one challenge that I seem to encounter is that I am at my office at work for most of the daylight hours. But, I am going to try and use that as a way to get more creative in what I take pictures of and work on some things that I have found difficult to master in photography, like shooting in low lighting.

My plan is to post a week's worth of pics at a time so I am not overwhelmed with hundreds of photos to go through and edit at the end of the year.

Tessa decided to join me as well so I'm excited to follow along on her journey at the same time.

My first day back in the office after a (wonderful) two-week holiday break.

Brynn and I have always wanted to do this when it has been cold enough outdoors. And indeed it was the other day as sub-zero temperatures provided us with a perfect opportunity. I rushed home from work in hopes of using the last bit of sunlight before it got dark.

Clara and Adria spend hours 'playing' together over FaceTime.

Oh my gosh, love, love them! I spy your spreadsheet tumbler :) Love the water in the cold photo and the above-the-counter view on the photo of Brynn baking. Can't wait to see all them as you go along!

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library. On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
