Week In The Life 2011 | Thursday Words + Photos

I love all the (self?) portraits you ve included of yourself this year!

I started on Sunday and yesterday was my least documented day. It is harder than I thought to keep this project present in my mind while on vacation ;-) But no stress over here. It's all good.

Particularly liked Tracey Clark's WITL disclaimer yesterday: http://www.traceyclark.com/blog/2011/7/27/week-in-the-life-tuesday.html

Lovely collection Ali. Love the car mirror shot and you've reminded me to look up more with the birds photograph! Here's my Thursday: http://www.amonthofsundays.co.uk/blog/index.php/2011/07/29/awitl-thursday-edition/

Love the steamy coffee pick and your "distractions" picture :)

The first picture is adorable, love your white kitchen. Looks bright and peaceful!

I'm enjoying seeing what everyone is doing; I'm not participating this week but will do another week soon.

Love your pictures, Ali!! I took this class from you at CKu-Chicago. I love to look back and see how life has changed. Thanks for helping us all capture the every stuff.

I captured a moment between my husband and daughter that I just love. I posted it here:

I sure am! Here's my post for Day 4 :)

I am loving this week of capturing photos - as usual, the week didn't turn out to be as 'usual' as I'd expected ... the day to day varied a little more than it normally seems to. Though I wonder if that might always be the case and I only realize it now that I am capturing the moment by moment of our days, and perhaps I normally just 'forget' the varations.

Here's a glance at our Wed & Thurs pics: http://useveryday.blogspot.com/2011/07/week-in-life-2011-wed-thurs.html

Hi Ali love the photo in the shower totally awesome....I had a slow day yesterday with pictures and felt as though I was losing steam. I heard myself saying "oh it is not important to take a picture of Ace hardware" and than it dawned on me I need to see the number things I do in the day. Also it was out of the ordinary because I had a leaking water pipe and had the handyperson come to repair the leak. I had her picture on Monday so I did not take another picture. So my goal today is for more photos and to stop judge what photos to take and snap away! Thanks for your support and love the pics of Anna and Simon. blessings & hugs

Week in the Life - Thursday 7.29.11

I love the steamy cup photo you took.

Thanks for your words of encouragement and support Ali... I am still trying to stay focused, but as the week goes on, it does get more challenging. Life has a way of "interrupting" what you have planed! This is my first year doing WITL and I really love it. It is so much fun to slow down and look for the little things that are happening all around us everyday. I have noticed through this project, that there are so many small events/interactions that make up our day and who we are that end up being forgotten two minutes after they happen. This project not only gives you a real glimpse into a week in your life, but an honest look at who you are in that moment. This project has been very theraputic for me, it has changed me in ways that I am only just beginning to understand. These words seem small in comparison to what you've given...but thank you Ali.

I can say that I am Thankful for the rain we have gotten the last 3 days to help COOL this midwest town down a little from this heat/humidity and also to bring out the beautiful flowers!!

Friday~~something extraordinary about me~~I didn't get soooo frustrated I x'ed out of the page trying to find where to comment!! Well, I did once...then went back to my facebook page and there was another post by T!m with another link..still complicated. :) One big extraordinary thing about me is I will be married to my wonderful hubby for 45 years tomorrow, July 30th~~well the truth of the matter the extraordinary goes to him to hang in with me for 45 years!! Man, I am getting old!! {{this comment is likely in the wrong spot, but whatever-I never win any of these anyway}} Have a wonderful weekend!!

This morning I am thankful that I read your post. Charming, simple, and feelings of gratitude. Simply lovely photos and words.

I LOVE your steam photo (absolutely wonderful!) My days are definitely the same most of the time, however, I realize that in five years my MOTS of today will probably be quite different than my MOTS then, so it is definitely good to document it now. Thanks for the inspiration!
