Capture Real Life in 52 weeks. Week two :: Guilty Pleasures

Week two challenge :: Guilty Pleasures

Books / libraries / bookstores

Reading is my current guilty pleasure. I can’t get enough of it! I’m gravitating towards memoirs currently, but I love it all. Fiction, self help, business, etc. I shot this at the local library. 

Capture Real Life in 52 weeks. Week one :: Day/night

I'm pretty exited about the recent online class I purchased from the team over at A Beautiful Mess. From the class description "In Capture Real Life in 52 Weeks you will be given specific photography challenges and tips you can use throughout the year to document life as it happens around you." 

I'm really excited to build my photography and editing skills. Also it'll be so great to have a full year documented, something I've never had! 

Week one challenge :: day/night

Alvaro & I have breakfast together each morning. It’s usually something pretty quick that includes eggs. Our coffees are usually poured straight into to-go thermoses as we run out the door. However, on the weekends we love drinking out of one of our MANY Starbucks coffee cups :) 

NPR helps us get up to speed with the latest news every morning. 

Night photos coming soon! 

Current Favorite Blogs

Here are some of my current favorite blogs:

A Beautiful Mess:

Who doesn’t love Elise & Emma?! They have the best team & seem to really like working together. I secretly dream to build a company with my sister too. :) 

Under the Sycamore:

I love Ashley Ann’s photos and approach to photography. I also really admire her family’s approach to life. I’d describe them as a family who lives with their hands open. Open to give, open to receive. 

Healthy Tipping Point:

Caitlin is so funny & I love her blog! I really admire all the running & triathlons she does. I used her swimming tips to get started swimming. It was so helpful. I love the mix of family, food, Beautiful Notes, and health posts she does. 

Oh Joy!: 

When I think of Joy, I think of her adorable family. Joy, Bob, Ruby, & baby on the way. The love they have for each either is so evident. The genuine smiles, adorable photos, & sweet stories are some of my favorite. It’s so sweet to see a couple really love each other. 

Hollywood Housewife:

I haven’t been reading Laura’s blog for long, but I love it. I love the glimpses into her family & her insight. Her writing is so good. I also really admire the way she talks about her husband. They really support each other. 

A Cup of Jo:

One of my top 3 blogs for sure. Joanna has some of the most interesting and diverse topics on her blog. From fashion, to motherhood, to food, and celebrities. I really love her writing. And she links to some of the best finds on the internet! 

Rage Against the Minivan:

Kristen’s blog is so diverse and covers so many topics. Again, one of my very favorites. Her posts are well written, smart, and always get me thinking & viewing things differently. Her family is adorable & I love her honesty.

Lill Blue Boo:

Ashley is an incredibly gifted writer. Her story is incredible & inspiring. Her family is currently living at the Hemlock Inn in North Carolina for at least a year. The journey is so fun to follow along. She’s working on writing a book and I know it's going to be great.
