This is the first year I’ve participated in this project that I am relieved it is Sunday and the final day of documenting. I’m not sure if it’s the fact that all our days have taken place at home, so there’s no major difference between the weekdays and weekend days that has me losing steam or what, but I will be glad to be done with the documenting portion of this project.

Saturday was the day this week that I took the least amount of photos and struggled a little with motivation to keep going. I have not experienced that in previous years, but I think, mentally, I was struggling a bit more yesterday than other days. The reality of still being under a stay-at-home order felt a little stifling yesterday, and we had to find some ways to balance that out. We managed to get out for a nice drive to and car picnic and spent the late morning outside playing video games.

For Friday I used the story lens “Today I…” which is another new one for me. I enjoyed it as a way to tell a mix of stories about what I was doing as well as how I was feeling. I have really enjoyed trying a few new lenses this week. Here are some of my words and photos from Friday.

Thursday’s story lens was “For the love of…” and I found that I had so much to say for this particular prompt. This was a new prompt for me, but definitely one I will use again. Here are some of my words and photos for Thursday.

For Wednesday, I used the story lens “The STUFF of Life” for my stories. I have been collecting actual bits of stuff from our life that I plan to add into my album in a 2×2 page protector. This was a challenging lens, but I enjoyed that today. Here are some of my words and photos from Wednesday.

For Tuesday, I used the story lens “Facts and Feelings” to capture my stories. I also played around with more photo progressions, which has been a fun challenge each day. Here is one of today’s progression sequences highlighting our evening activities of playing video games and working on our laptops.

As we gear up for Week in the Life™ 2020 (taking place next week from May 11-17), I thought it would be fun to take a look at my past albums for this project. This week, I will be sharing … Continued
