Happy Sunday guys!! I’m starting a little something new today! After weeks of contemplation, I’m giving an Our Week in Photos post a trial run. I really like the idea of this type of series because it gets me out and photographing and it’s something I can post on a regular basis but I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep this up every week from now until forever if I’m being honest. Summer seems like the best time to test it out so I can determine if I enjoy doing it, if you guys enjoy seeing it and if I can maintain it when the busy school year starts again. I suppose we’ll all see together… 🙂
Ella is our covergirl of the week because I couldn’t decide between the photo above and the photo below as they’re both so adorable to me. The thought of her heading off to high school later this year makes every moment and memory we’ll share this summer all the more special – even if I did have to pry her out of her room to get these pictures (but more on that later!). Here is our week in photo form…
MONDAY
For the past few weeks – the last time being on Monday – our neighbor’s cat has gifted us with a LIVE lizard. The one in this photo was so calm and even let the kids hold and pet him/her because we let it go later that evening.
TUESDAY
Hendrix and Sadie took their first swim of summer vacation on this day accompanied by J, his dad and one of his brothers. This is also the last photo of Sadie’s baby smile as she lost one of her front bottom teeth that night!
WEDNESDAY
Ella made her first DIY flower crown on Wednesday so naturally I forced her to participate in a mini photoshoot. Is it just me or is she giving off all the modern Frida Kahlo vibes?
THURSDAY
J surprised me with dinner since the kids were eating leftovers from the night before. This is the Tofu Veggie Bowl with Half-Ocado (their words not mine – lol!) from Waba Grill and, let me tell you, those charbroil lines on that soy-based steak are the real deal – so delicious!
FRIDAY
Here I am, in my robe, testing out the soft box lighting kit I got for Christmas last year whilst trying to decide whether or not I’m “ready” to start a new YouTube channel. I’ve wanted to do it for SO long (we had a vlog channel a couple years ago) so I need to somehow suppress my fearful perfectionist side and just make it happen!
SATURDAY
Hendrix played photographer during our errands run on Saturday afternoon. There are several other pictures in his Home Depot series but this one he snapped of Sadie is the sweetest.
SUNDAY
Just prior to writing up the post you’re currently reading, I was starting a FREE e-course from Caffienate & Conquer (check it out here!) and sipping on some (very un-caffienated) cranberry tea. So far, the course has already helped me to hone in on my ideal audience a little better so I’m eager to see how it all turns out.
That’s all for this week! Stay tuned to see if I can get another Our Week in Photos post up next Sunday and let me know if you like this type of post!! xx
