12 of 12 January

12 of 12 January

awesome Gretchen has been capturing 12 pictures of her daily life on the twelfth day of every month for two years.  i watched last year, convinced it was too cumbersome but amazed at how much they showed. this year, i'm taking the leap.  it's tough, i'll say that. remembering to do it for one, but also actually documenting the whole day with only a tiny bit of warm light proved to really challenge me.  i'm determined to capture more of the beauty in the everyday and this is a great way to get me to do it.  so i'm in.

1) a little macro pomegranate love.  up close they looked liked a totally different life form.

2) morning yoga with G set my day up correctly.  her favorite poses are table top, as seen, and (apricot) tree.

3) in my reading pile: women's health, TIME, the female brain, and the art of non-conformity.

4) more pom love, the colors and curves seduce me every time.

5) afternoon pick up

6) snuggly book time in my bed, for another view of our time click here.

7) nothing starts a tea-party faster than a bowl of poms.

8) freshly folded laundry

9) finally getting the tree taken down.

10) homework

11) daily sweeping pile

12) F refusing to look at me with the camera when we got home, lil stinker.

wanna play along?  start whenever you want. come over to amy's for the full report.

I've been doing the project a long time as well (02/08) and it's been well worth the effort. Your photos are FANTASTIC. What a wonderful Wednesday to record :)

I love your blog Jenica! Your family is so special. Keep it coming. I love pomegranates too.

I always love to see your images, Jenica. May I made a shameful confession? I love pomegrante flavored things but I have never eaten a real one. I don't know how! Do you eat the seeds?
