Go see the leaves! Including a picnic and photos up the canyon.
Take care of myself. Rest. Eat. Exercise. (Sadly when life gets busy, these things get hard for me.)
Finish a new book for Peachie's.
Spend a little time in Park City
Enjoy afternoons outside with the littles
Jump right in to my new calling in Primary
Throw a Halloween Party
Start early on some SECRET HOLIDAY PROJECTS!! (it feels too soon, but let's face it... Come December I'll be glad I did!)

I think October is going to be awesome!

Photo a Day: Catching Up

I've been going strong with the photo a day project this month--haven't missed a day yet! Some prompts have been much more interesting to me than others, but overall it has been a fun creative challenge. A few of these shots I love; a couple of them, not so much... but all together I think they really give a fun glimpse into my life! I can't wait to print them all up and put them in a little  Photo a Day August mini album!

13: Simple: Loving fresh garden tomatoes with salt these days!
14: Arrow: Work in progress
15: Ready: A completed photoshoot off for delivery. I'll have to post photos soon!
16: Food: Gluten and Dairy free hamburger. Veggie cheese slices, not so bad.
17: Faces: At the El Salvador restaurant to celebrate the one year anniversary from our trip
18: Inside: Just the inside of a cool wire candle holder. I was stuck on this one.
19: Hole: Flat tire on the trailer.
20: Today: Desktop calendar.
21: Cool: Our swamp cooler does a great job in this heat!
22: Home: While this is a pretty straightforward interpretation, I love that it shows the here and now!
23: Pair: In the kitchen

Photo a Day: Catching Up

Day 7: 8:00: We were picking beans over at the farm at 8:00 PM. There was the most spectacular sunset! The sun was crimson red and the sky looked so tropical! (Hate the wildfires, love the sunsets!)
Day 8: Glasses: A peek in the Johnson's cupboard. Love the Tupperware!!
Day 9: Messy: Sadly it wasn't hard to find a photo for this prompt. Just a peek at a corner of the table.
Day 10: Ring: I thought it would be fun to remember that the London Olympics were going on this day
Day 11: Purple: A creative twist... Red+Blue= purple.
Day 12: Spoon Just some of the spoons in Mom's drawer. Wasn't too inspired on this one.

Photo a Day 2: One

The photo a day prompt for day 2 was the word "ONE." This was a bit tricky for me, but I settled for a quick Instagram of Danny's 1% milk. Perhaps a bit ironic as I don't drink milk, but there you have it. (I love me some almond milk though... have you tried it?)

PS: I designed the logo in the corner. I've been studying a lot about photoshop and illustrator and I love it! I'm thinking about taking this class, here.

Photo a Day Aug 1: Outside

The photo a day prompt for August 1st was "outside." Well, with that sunset and those clouds it was hard for me to stick to one shot, so here are a few of my favorites! So pretty!!

Be back later with today's shot;) By the way, if you didn't get started yesterday, no big deal. Just start today. I'm sure I'll miss some days here and there too. It's just for fun so feel free to join in as you like!!
