Week In The Life : Tuesday

Hi Ali- I have a request :) Could you try to have people who don't have children or even those who are part time parents (weekends mostly), post what their week in the life projects looks like for those of us who don't have what I stated above? I'd volunteer but I didn't start on monday- i wish i would have since this week was pretty crazy... Thanks :)

Thanks for inspiring me, Ali! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this project. Here are some of my favorite pictures from today...

My favorite shot is a picture of my son pushing the elevator button at our apartment: http://tykergirl.wordpress.com/2010/04/19/where-do-i-begin/ (in the middle). Compositionally it leaves a lot to be desired--it's blurry, the lightenings goofy, etc. But, emotionally it's just right. It captures this time where we are right now. We won't always live in an apartment, where the decision of who gets to push the button is so important. And, those fingers won't always be so chubby that are doing the pushing. That's why I can't say enough thank you for the push to take this chance to document our right now.

Loved seeing the lilacs - can't wait till they're blooming here in MN. The tulips are up, and beautiful!

I love that you picked that one as your favorite.

hey ali...here are some of our tuesday shots... i need to be better about having my camera on. http://willettedesigns.com/2010/04/week-in-the-life-2010-day-2/

Ali,I'm having a bad day in My week in the life just a small run in with the law!

Two of my favorite AWITL shots of life with pets can be found here: http://crystallotuscreations.blogspot.com/2010/04/week-in-life-day-3.html
You really inspire me, Ali. Thank you.

Ali, if you click on my name you will go right to the pictures of my adventure. Sorry, don't know how to get it into the text of this comment

I am loving this project and really appreciate the encouragement. This is however my first attempt at digital scrapbooking and I am a bit frustrated. I downloaded some of your products and really want to use the The Story of Today. I am having problems figuring out how to get my word document into elements. I copy it but can't get it to paste. Any suggestions? A quick how to video if possible?)

Here's my favourite photo so far, taken today. Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement, Ali - I am loving this project!

Thank you so very much for all the INSPIRATION.
I am a first timer to the WEEK IN YOUR LIFE project and I am really enjoying the process with 3 days down and 4 to go.
Must admit to feeling like a bit of a twit with my trusty point and shoot at the supermarket but aside from that, loving all the little moments that I am capturing.
Loving all your photos and the different angels that you capture them from ... really looking forward to next week and the creating phase.
Thanks again Ali.

Well, I definitely took fewer pictures today, but that's okay.
If you'd like to look on my blog, I'm posting my photos of the day there: http://leighpenner.blogspot.com
Thanks for the inspiration!

My favorite picture so far is one of me playing on the floor with my 5-month old son. I am smiling at him, and he is reaching up touching my cheek with his hand. There just aren't many photos of me, or me with my kids because no one thinks to take them, and mostly, I am home with them alone all day. I am loving the wireless remote and all the moments I am capturing with it. Need to do it more often.
I got a series of shots of my 3-year-old daughter and me making my grandmother's oatmeal pancake recipe. We do it all the time, but no photos before. That is a whole LO coming. Also, my mom cans tuna and pickles. I had tuna melts for lunch today, using them. Took pictures, and will have to do a LO about how grocery store tuna tastes like sawdust in comparison - I love that home-canned stuff so much! Never would have thought to take pictures before, but these are meaningful stories to tell beyond documenting my week. LOVE this! Thanks Ali!

Hi Ali,
Looks like you had a wonderful day! I am so happy to be doing this project! My kids are even excited to be involved. They help me out with the pictures. I love it! Thanks for all your creative ideas.

oh my goodness that first picture of Anna- she and Simon make me want babies! just want to tell you I am always so taken by the obvious joy, happiness, and love in your family- it is evident in your photos, your journaling, and what you do with your everyday.

Ali thanks so much for inspiration to really take notice in my day. And thanks for the generous way you share your home and your family in your photographs. Thank you.

My photos aren't uploaded yet... but my favorite photo so far was early evening, just before we started bedtime routine on Monday, and my hubby gave in and went on the trampoline with the kids... I have a wonderful shot of him catching our littlest after a double bounce. It's def. not a 'technically perfect' photo, but it's all I need to remember that moment.

One of the funniest photos that really did not turn out like I wanted was my cat laying between me and my book while I was studying. It was sweet at first but got old as she wouldn't move when I needed her to. This is something new she is doing. :)
