Week 34: Hello, Mickey!

This post is happening before week 34 actually does because I will not be blogging this week because I'll be on vacation with my friends Minnie & Mickey Mouse. Have a great week!

Week 33: Yuck.

This week (it's only Wednesday) has been filled with garbage. Just bad times. But, in short, what I'm proud of myself for is figuring things out, trying my best and standing up for what I know is right despite getting slack for it. I didn't plan for this week's achievement to be any of the above things, but when I did the whole "standing up for what I know is right despite getting slack for it," I knew I had done something big for me. My body seriously started shaking when I knew what I needed to say and do. I know that's silly, but confrontation and I are not friends. Typically, I would've let the subject drop and held my tongue but this time, I forced myself forward.

And, I'm really proud of me.

(But I'm still really thankful that vacation starts in less than 24 hours).

Week 32: Biggest Family Photo Session EVER


This week I was challenged to do a photo session with a family of 12! To be determined how they turned out, but I was excited to give this a shot as most of my sessions usually have 4 people very, very max, and often just 1. Twelve people, especially with nearly half of them being youngins, was definitely an experiment, and I hope the family is happy with the final product!

Week 31: Friendship Bracelets

I love the look of friendship bracelets and have recently wanted to learn how to make them myself- the fancier kind than I made when I was younger. So, today I embarked on that journey (after quickly giving up during a recent attempt after being completely overwhelmed for some reason).

Initial thoughts: SO CUTE BUT HOLY COW these things take forever.

But, I'm excited about how they look and excited that I've overcome my initial intimidation. I should post photos when I get lots done...we'll see.
