Yep, big slacker over here…
I’ve been slacking just a teensy bit on blog posts. If you’ve been around for awhile, you’re probably not surprised. However, I always come back eventually. 😉
I have a few things to post about, but I’ll start with my March 365 round up. YES, I have actually stuck with my 365 pics and haven’t missed a single one so far. I don’t expect to make it to the end without missing a day or two (or three or four), but I’m ecstatic I haven’t missed one so far.
I did end up dropping the 365 1-sec video. It was super cool, but who am I kidding trying to do TWO 365’s?! I can barely keep up with one!!

February Recap :: Project Life 365
February was a bit of a whirlwind. I settled for just taking a picture each day instead of trying to keep up with the Project Life 365 photo prompts. My video version, had less success (missed about 10 days out of 28), but I mashed the video seconds together with pics for the days I missed. 🙂

How’s your 365 coming? Have you tried the video version via the One Second app?

Project: Life
So, like I mentioned at the beginning of the year, I’m trying this whole 365 thing again. Maybe 3rd times a charm and I’ll make it all the way to the end or maybe I’ll make it a few months longer than last time. I have no expectations. I am trying really hard to keep it up though, even if most of my pics are boring, repetitive and non-creative. The point is to document daily life, right?! Some days are more exciting than others. 😉
I’m posting all of my 365 photos on my Instagram stream, so hit me up there if you want to keep up daily! You can find me here, katiehigg.
And because I’m crazy like that and apparently needed something else to keep up with, I’m trying my hand at 365 via video. There’s this cool app called One Second Everyday. It takes a second from every day and then mashes them together into a movie. I didn’t start until January 11th and I missed a few days already but, it’s super cool anyway. Check out month 1.

Project Life 365…here we go again!
I don’t know what it is about the 365 project that makes me insist on trying it again, even though I’ve failed the past two times. Maybe it’s the desire to accomplish something so big…maybe it’s wanting to be a part of something…maybe it’s wanting to document daily life and this is a motivator to do that…maybe it’s me holding on to photography any way I know how. Whatever it is, I’m diving in….
…again!
This time I’m following along with Project Life 365. Project Life 365 is created by the team at Design Aglow. They are going to have inspiration words for each day, they have a field guide for sale to get you started and free blog boards. Each day you can share your daily photo with the PL365 community. I’ll be sharing via Instagram and on my blog.
So far, I haven’t done anything inspiring, but here are my first 3 days…
I”m not making any promises on how far I’ll make it, but we’ll see. I guess if 365 is too big of a commitment, there’s always 52 (one a week). 🙂

So long, 2012!
2012 was pretty good to me, but that doesn’t mean I’m not excited to see what 2013 has in store!
Highlights from 2012…
- Finally made it to Las Vegas and as a bonus, took a helicopter ride into the Grand Canyon
- Saw the musical, Wicked
- Completed my longest race to date…10 miles!
- Got a new ride
- Had amazing seats for a USA soccer game
- Swam with dolphins and stingrays
Things I could have done without in 2012…
- 3rd skin cancer found and cut out
- my SIL losing someone she loves
- science fair projects
- a tropical depression raining out my Colbie Caillat/Train concert date with hubby & BIL/SIL
It was good while it lasted, but I say, bring on 2013! I’m not much for New Years resolutions, but I have a few things I’d like to work on this year.
- Taking more pictures WITH my kids whether I’m camera ready or not and learn to appreciate them even if I don’t look the way I want to look in them. My goal is once a week.
- Meal plan more! It’s not healthy to eat out as often as we do. Even though I try to choose wisely, I know it would be better for my health and wallet if we ate at home more often.
- I want to de-clutter my head and home because as much as I’m a clutterbug and tend to stack things everywhere, it makes me a happier mommy when it’s all straightened and organized
- I’m trying the 365 thing again this year, but I’m not holding my breath on making it to the end. I’ll see how far I can make it this time though. Who knows, maybe the third times a charm! I’m following along with ProjectLife365 and posting to my Instagram account. Click my face on the right side of the blog to get to my Instagram profile! 🙂
Okay, your turn!! Tell me the good and bad of 2012 and something you want to work on for the upcoming year. Let’s rock 2013!
