Week In The Life : Tuesday

great quote Ali, one of my favorites! I am guilty of not enjoying the "moment" as often as I should.
are some of your shots taken with self timer? good job :)
god bless

Can anyone tell me how to get the journaling cards to print?
I don't want to bother Ali but I figured someone here could help.
I hate when I can't do something that is so simple.
Thanks in advance.
Sara

awesome album!

I am totally enjoying your pictures that you have been sharing with us! Do you always carry around your SLR or do you have a point and shoot camera also? if so, I would love to know what you use!

So far my favorites are ones taken by other people, since I'm not in front of the camera as much as I would like usually. I gave my point and shoot to my 3.5 year old god-daughter and this was one of the results:

After seeing Monday's shots my husband grabbed the camera a lot more yesterday, this was my favorite that he shot:

Such a common laundry + bedtime routine shot, but I don't think I've ever documented it before. Love it!
Thanks for the inspiration :)

I love that quote Ali... I struggle with that frequently.
Here are my favorite shots from this week so far.

As always, thanks for the inspiration!

I am enjoying all your photos. Especially the one of Simon learningh how to dive as my own 7 year old makes the same attempts at swim. :)

I love this project and even the girls I work with have been commenting on how great it is. My favorite quote about every day life is from a book Cold Tangerines by Shauna Nequist (Celebrating the Extraordinary Nature of Everyday Life):
"I choose to believe that there is nothing more sacred or profound than this day... This is it. This is life in all its glory, swirling and unfolding around us, disguised as pedantic, pedestrian non-events...Your life, right now, today, is exploding with energy and power and detail and dimension, better than the best movie you have ever seen. You and your family and your friends and your house and your dinner table and your garage have all the makings of a life of epic proportions, a story for the ages. Because they all are. Every life is. You have stories worth telling, memories worth remembering, dreams worth working toward, a body worth feeding, a soul worth tending, and beyond that, the God of the universe dwells within you, the true culmination of super and natural."
Here is my favorite photo from yesterday. Beautiful spring flowers I ran across while rushing to work. I stopped and smelled them and took a moment to notice beauty in a big city:

I am following along with you. Just finished yesterday's post.

I love that laundry shot. LOVE.

Sara - send me an email and tell me what's up. I will respond as soon as I can :). ali @ aliedwardsdesign dot com

Almost all with the timer :)

I set the camera up on the dash and use the timer. My lens is pretty wide (it's a 24-70 and can get everyone in when opened up all the way).

I took a picture of a huge stack of CDs that I'm burning to iTunes so I can go digital and not have so many things around the house. It really captures the mammoth task I've been undertaking!

I found “magic” today when I was reviewing my photos and actually laughed out loud!!! This has been more fun than I thought it would be. I’m having a hard time getting a good shot of me and the results are a riot! In one of the photos of me, I can see a little twinkle in my eyes and love seeing that!
Thanks Ali for always sharing the photos of your beautiful little family. They always brighten my day!!!

My husband is getting into it, he emailed me a pic of his lunch and view from his office! My kids are taking a ton of pictures .... too much fun!

Well... I am posting my fave photos each day and I'm also keeping my notes on my blog, because that is the easiest for me. Thanks so much for this project. It has proven we have a pretty extraordinary ordinary life. :)
