I have been meaning to blog about this for a while, but life keeps getting in the way. I haven’t posted pictures of Annika in a while, but it is not because I haven’t taken them. I challenged myself to a new project this year, and even though I am a little intimidated by it, I don’t think I will regret it. The challenge is this: I have to take a picture everyday and I have to journal everyday. Now, with twins on the way and an active toddler, I am not letting myself be a perfectionist. I would like to say that I am going to take a beautiful picture everyday and write something that is clever and thoughtful, but this is just not the case. I just have to take a picture of something and write something about what happened that day. So far, I am doing pretty good. I’ll admit that somedays I forget to take a picture, and I have to make up for it over the next few days, but I already have the first two and a half weeks of January put together in a book, and I am excited about it. The last week has been a bit rough — I am not sure what to take a picture of when I am laying on the couch all day. I took a picture of my feet today. I figured that’s what I was looking at all day, so I might as well document it. So many things are going to change this year; I want to have a record so I don’t forget all of the little details. I don’t know that I will post my project here all of the time, but I will occasionally. I think posting it will help keep me motivated.
