2022 365 Photo Project

You may recall this post at this time last year which declared my goal for 2022 of a photography 365 challenge: one photo every day. Well, of course, I took more than one some days, but the idea was to take one photo every day for a year.

You might have also noticed a lot of number titled posts throughout last year as I posted a week's worth or two at a time. Now I put my recap together of all 365 photos.

I was pleased that I never forgot or missed a day, but I realized I possibly traumatized myself a bit when 2023 started and the first few days had me pondering, "what is my 'photo of the day' going to be today?" It was a STRUGGLE to come up with different subjects to take pictures of, and looking through them all together now, I think I did double up sometimes. There were only so many pics of the girls, food and trees that I could take, but there are plenty of each!

Some photos I felt were straight trash and didn't even want to include them in my recap or post them in my updates on here. But overall I ended up with many more (good) photos than I would have in any other 'normal' year. I rediscovered one of my old macro lenses which has now become my go-to when I am making a recipe for my work blog. It definitely made me pause more and notice nature around me. I thought I would increase my skills and learn a lot, neither of which I feel really progressed greatly.

I'm still glad I did it though. I would maybe do something a bit more informal next time...more of a daily documentation of everyday life, whereas I wanted so badly with this challenge for every image I captured to be a 10/10.

SO many great pictures! Wow! Completing the 365 was a huge accomplishment. I have never stuck with one to the end. Way to go!

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
