Here are days, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 of my challenge to take pictures every day this year.

I took all of these pictures on different days…I, however, am just uploading them all now.

27

This is the face of a five year old that did NOT want to eat her dinner.

28

I am thinking we have plenty of toys….

29

This is the face of a girl who loves it when her mom braids her hair!

30

I eat a healthy dose of these toes every day.

31

“Houston! We have a crawler!!!”

(and, yes, she is wearing the same clothes as yesterday)

Goodbye, January, you came and went too fast!

lots of love,

Niki

who are trying to understand your DSLR and who want to take better pictures?

You don’t have to go to college to get some professional lessons with your DSLR!

Plus, the classes are usually pretty cheap!

Today’s tip is to check out some of these classes.

I have used all three of these resources and they are all great!

I went through so many pictures and kept coming back to this one!

My girls had so much fun being “silly” with the flour.

(It was definitely a “cool mom” day!)

 Enjoy!

 

Don’t be afraid to be a little silly!

We all need it once in awhile!

lots of love,

niki
