My New Project

We have a lot of pictures. A lot of pictures.


My mom used to get pretty happy snappy, but in the last ten years she's cooled down considerably. That's fine, since it was around middle school that I started taking my own pictures anyway, and having photos from my childhood helps me to remember the things that are a little blurry in my own mind. The only problem is that while my mom loved taking pictures, she hated organizing them- hence why our dining room closet is full of haphazardly stacked boxes of photo envelopes.


In case you haven't noticed, I love old photos. Looking through them always makes me smile, bringing me back to a point in my life that I might have forgotten about. I have an amazing memory, remembering precise things from my infancy that even my parents forget, and I'll look at a picture and recall exactly where and when it was taken.


So, my new project is to chronologically order all our pictures into albums. I have a feeling this could be a long and frustrating process, but I'm excited to have everything neatly put away so I can show my kids and grandkids all my birthday parties, tonsillectomies and trips one day.


Every day, I'm going to try to share a few funny photos with you all- and if I'm doing this chronologically, expect to see a lot of bald baby photos, chocolate-covered faces, Spice Girl poses and chubby chipmunk cheeks :)

Oh, and before I go, you know the drill for today's breakfast: protein Kashi GoLean cereal with SunWarrior, almond butter, blueberries and almond milk (recycled pic).


Have a great start to your week!

Are you a picture lover? Do you have any specific favorite photos?
