2019 My Life Project - Week 3

Although we don't allow makeup outside of the house quite yet, this particular tween is constantly watching tutorials and practicing. The majority of her money, be it pocket money, or gifts goes towards all sorts of makeup. It slightly appalls me the amount that she has spent, but she enjoys it and she's honing her craft and it's her money.

A sick day at home this week gave me the chance to get some daylight photos (hurray) as it's dark by the time they normally get home. My sweet girl, beautiful with or without makeup, although I do prefer the natural look.


And just for laughs, look how far she's come!

2019 My Life Project - Week 2

Only week two and I managed to get to the end of the week with no photo; not the strongest start. So with hours to spare, yesterday afternoon I decided to set up the tripod in the kitchen with the interval timer on the camera and just see if I could get ANYTHING. This project is meant to be about my life and yet being the one behind the camera means I normally don't feature, maybe I'll change that a little this year...maybe.

Anyway, there were several far more flattering ones of me I was tempted to use from when I was baking on my own, but my wonderful boy offered to make dinner for us all and we worked in the kitchen together for a bit and so here is one with the two of us. I love when he jumps in like that and dinner was great!

2019 My Life Project - Week 1

I have decided to continue documenting our life this year, at least one photo a week. Maybe there'll be other opportunities or ideas along the way, but the discipline is good for me, so here is the first week; two of my children having a sweet moment, playing around together on a friend's piano.
