168 Hours : Welcome To A Week In The Life

I am doing this again (did it in '08) & love it!!! already on day 3 & have a photo of myself for each day! (which we all know is a feat in itself sometimes! :) thanks for being so inspirational!!

This will be my first try at doing this and I'm so excited! Started yesterday and think I'm going to have a difficult time narrowing down the photos. I captured so much! Have a question though...I have got my DH on board with this project as well. He is across country for part of the week (his job) and he will also be taking photos on a daily basis while DS and I capture life at home. Do you have any advice on how to combine these two perspectives together in the album. Any hints, ideas, suggestions, are greatly appreciated!

Just have to share that I have my teenage sons and husband engaged in this, too. They are snapping pix of THEIR "8-5" world on their iPhones and texting them to me. Man, oh, man - is technology great or what!! I'll email them to myself - pop them into templates - voila'! FAMILY LIFE DOCUMENTED!

Something special. I learned to read at four using the book "We Come and Go"... a book about Dick,Jane and Sally. (My mom was the inspiration for Sally.)My grandmother Elizabeth Rider Montgomery wrote the first of those books in the 30s. Now my son is learning to read with them!

Ooo, I'm joining the Flickr group now! I started taking a lot of photos in the morning...then sort of phased out...oif! This is hard!

What's special about me? Well, lots of things :) But ... everybody is special and unique. I love my three kids. I enjoy making things for people. I try very hard to be a good wife and a good mother. I'm an army wife and have therefore been raising our three kids alone for the past 9 months ... I'm very creative and good at getting things done. Sometimes that gets me in trouble when people just want me to calm down and leave them alone ... but I do get things done!
Your giveaways are absolutely amazing!!! Way to go!
Thank you!

People have always said that I am a "wise soul" and I am finding that to be more true as I grow into myself -- I think that is pretty special. :) Thanks for hosting a week of fun. I NEED to do this project but don't know if I have the stamina this week....I'll give it my best shot!

WOW! So exciting all the sponsors! I am SO excited to do this adventure. Ali I follow your blog almost daily and I've just never done this and I'm not sure why. I have captured pictures of almost everything today so far. Nothing too exciting but I'm documenting! Can't wait to see the end result!

Good morning to all - I'm excited to get started on a project that actually has an "END" to it. I've studied your blog and read all the comments (but aren't as organized as Aby) - so it may be the project gets done next month... but I'm writing and snapping along the way. Thanks for the inspiration and guidance for such a great project.

I am feeling completely overwhelmed by my ordinary life right now. So, I am just going to push everything aside, and take out my camera, and go find a little bit of me this week. Thanks Ali!

You inspired me to do the December Daily album last year so I am super excited to do A Week In the Life with you now!
I'm a SAHM and this gives me the inspiration to take time for me! Imagine....
Thank you Ali!!

Excited. So don't have my papers and album and stuff ready - but that isn't stopping me. Grabbed the camera on the way out and clicking away.
One thing I did last time (and started with this morning) is taking a photo of me (using my computer) first thing in the morning. SO not a great photo, but gotta capture every moement.

I love all of these giveaways, OMG!! I think what makes me unique is that I try to look for the positive in things and I don't sweat the small stuff. I wasn't as prepared for this project as I wanted to be but I am not letting that stop me, I am moving forward and I will embrace whatever it becomes. Thanks for all the direction, inspiration and ideas!

something special about me is the simple way to see the simplicity of the life

WOW OH WOW~! Have been looking forward to this project : ) awesome giveaways
Something unique about me...I have been writing what my kids do every day on a calendar since they were born. They are now 7 and 9.
Can't wait to see how creative everyone is!

They are grey - they were designed to go with the tabs (they are lighter than the tabs). It also makes it easier to cut them if you are going the hybrid route.

No worries Shari :)

Awesome.

I am always inspired reading your blog in the morning. It's my version of morning coffee, something to get me ready to tackle the rest of the day!

I am so excited to start this project. These are the parts of life I want to remember as my childen grow. They are 10 and 13 now. Wish I had done this when they were little. The differences would be amazing!
