52 Weeks of my girls {Week 5}



Well, I may not be doing everything I'd hoped with my blog when I started out this year, but I am keeping up with my 52 week project.  That was the main goal I wanted to keep up.

Hard to believe this photo was taken on February 4th which is normally right smack in the dead of winter. It's sunny and warm (40s), yes warm for this time of year in Wisconsin!  No coats and barely any snow left on the ground.  Neighbors were out playing basketball and riding bikes today.

They got a couple new games on their iPods that they can't seem to stop playing!

So, it's not lying when they ask of these are going on Facebook and I say no even though they are going on my blog, right?  Totally different thing! 

52 Weeks of my girls {Week 3}

I told her to "go get your sister" and she came back with her in her arms!  They take everything so literally.  This was taken with my iPhone.  I cheated yesterday and used it for my instagram 366 project on my phone as well as my weekly photo of the girls. 

You can see all my 366 photos online on webstagram here: lynnsphotos  Or find me on the instagram app on your phone, username: lynnsphotos.

52 weeks of my girls

So besides my emotional state putting a damper on my blogging, I also started having a hard time coming up with topics. 

I've been thinking a lot recently about some things I want to do this year on my blog. 

Last year I attempted a 52 week project on my photo blog.  I made it through 35 weeks.  Life got in the way and I also starting feeling pressure to get a photo.  The group I was with had a theme each week and although you were not required to follow the theme I chose to from the beginning and wanted to keep it that way.  Well, they started getting kind of difficult and I was stressing to come up with something each week.

So this year I want to make it a bit easier for myself and a bit more meaningful.  I was looking through pics from last year for a project I was considering for a Christmas gift and realized I had very few pics of my kids in 2011!!  That made me sad. 

My oldest will be off to college in about a year and a half.  I want to start making the most of that time until she leaves.  So I decided this year I will do a 52 week project of my girls. 

Even though it's a photo project I'm choosing to do it on this blog because it's my family, my life. 

The first week will be Jan 1-7.  So at some point during the week I will post a photo of my girls.  I haven't decided if it will be a specific day of the week.  Probably not because it will depend on the timing of the photo each week.

So feel free to join me and share a link if you do.  If you don't have kids, use your spouse, your pet, yourself....self portraits are always good!
