30 days

While watching Ted talks the other night with my husband, one of the speakers said, “you can do anything for 30 days”.

He was talking about trying something new for 30 days.

I have been missing the pictures from my 365 project, blog post’s here, flickr photos here.

I mostly miss the growth that happened in my photography while doing the project and the pictures with my boys.

After hearing the whole 30 days talk I decided to do a 30 day self portrait project.

Day 1

I was still making the decision on this day.

Day 2

I mixed my “going to miss this” and my self portrait.

My little guys will not always beg me to let them help me bake.

Knowing that it is not forever makes it even sweeter.

Day 3

I made the decision last week to take a picture everyday of my boys doing something they will grow out of.

This was not meant to be a sad thing. I just wanted those things documented.

Like them using the stool in the kitchen (I am constantly having to push it out my way so this helped me see it in a different light).

I will not always have a cowboy superhero riding a bike in my driveway.

One day they will be too old for dress up and tall to use a stool to reach the counter top.

Now I will always be able to look back and remember it.

What moment did your child do today that they will grow out of?

Did you stop and take a moment to remember it?

Sometimes the light is beautiful and I am the only model that will sit still.
