Amazing

Well, not to freak anyone out, but it’s almost JUNE!  As in half of the year has already passed!  Crazy right?!

It’s usually at this time of year that I like to look back to January and see what kind of progress I’ve made in regards to any resolutions.  This way if I’ve failed to keep up, I can re-focus and try to get back on track.  I’m happy to say I’ve totally kept up with my New Years resolution this year which is a total first for me.  It’s not as hard when you only make one.  I think I’ll try to remember that for next year – one well kept resolution is better than five that you don’t keep right?

You may remember that I gifted myself a new “big girl” camera for Christmas, and my one resolution was to use it every day.  I’m planning to make a 365 book at the end of the year.  You might think this photo challenge is probably not too hard for a blogger.  However, my challenge to myself was to take more pictures of our life as a family, which is something very different than what I typically blog about.  It really has been a challenge, but I’ve enjoyed capturing life’s special moments.  In the process I’ve fallen in love with my camera.  While I have a lot to learn, I’m enjoying the journey of learning by trial and error.  I’ve found some great photog help/tutorials over at Bower Power.  Katie (of Bower Power) is self-taught and that really gives me hope.  Maybe someday when I get a little better with my camera, I’ll invest the money and time in Photoshop, but for now I use Picasa and PicMonkey (recently) to edit my photos.  

Her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they’re not shinin’……..

his hair, his hair, falls perfectly without him tryin’……..

This is what my boy thinks of my New Year’s resolution.

And my rendition of Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars doesn’t help.  Who wouldn’t want to have their picture taken while being serenaded?!  Ummmm…..  I think someone’s gonna need therapy.   😉  

How are you doing with your resolutions?
