1st Day of Christmas

Two years ago, I did an entire year of taking a picture every single day (what is often referred to as a Photo 365 project). It's  incredibly difficult to find a photo subject every day when real life has so many distractions, but I succeeded. This past summer I attempted a shorter version, 99 Days of Summer. I missed one or two days on that one. Not on purpose, just because I forgot to take a picture. I didn't have a good support system to remind me and I was traveling a lot for work. The support system, I've discovered, is crucial for this type of project.

Well, the boy has promised to help remind me to take my picture of the day for my new project: 25 Days of Christmas. We'll see how well he remembers. I can say, though, that the more comments and encouragement I get on my pictures, the more likely I am to remember to keep taking and posting new ones. So if you want to see more pictures, let me know what you think of this one.

I just got back from a business trip yesterday and the boy bought me an ornament while I was gone. What should I name him?

Advent

Three and a half years... In the last three and a half years, we've moved to another state, had a baby, and bought a house (therefore moving again). I hate moving.  But this post isn't about all that. I wanted to capture what I'm doing to make this Christmas time more special for my kids (mostly the 5yo at this point because 15mo is clueless). First, every year I select my favorite of our extensive Christmas book selection and add in a few new books, maybe a puzzle or movie or two. Then wrap each item to make a (mostly) Christmas book advent calendar.  So I thought that was that and we'd be all good. We'd try to make cookies and go look at Christmas lights at some point of course, too, but I didn't need any of those toy calendars or chocolate calendars.  Except, our church sent out the supplies to make an advent calendar. And 5yo likes making things. And 5yo wanted to put something in the little bags. So fine, I thought, I'll have her help me make it then ru

I made this today

I've been creating a lot again lately. And it feels good.
