DAY2. "Light"

Today Holliday went back to work which means I had my first round of

getting ready with 2 kids alone. My husband leaves the house before the sun rises but is so very thoughtful and packed Jada's lunch and loaded the car for me.

 Her clothes were already picked out and she actually came to my room

completely dressed. The little things help. A lot.

It wasn't bad juggling both and will only come with more ease. Jada asked 

to stay home tomorrow and my immediate thought was, "Oh yes, the morning won't be so rough",

but I can't do that. Ha. Must face these new challenges head on.

31 Day "Photo Challenge".

The challenge of these "Photo Challenges" for me is the push to actually pick up my CAMERA, not my iPhone, and take some photos! It's like writing prompts assisting in creativity when you find yourself getting stuck.

I've been wanting to do one of these for a long time now. I initially thought of doing it via Instagram but that wouldn't help me use my camera. I've got a lot of time on my hands when I'm not tending to Aubrey and I need to employ my creative nature. Which is why I am going to try to be better about writing everyday and if not, keeping up with my Art Journal.

So day 1 of the October Photo Challenge is "Colorful". I went all day waiting to find something just right and later in the evening I thought of Aubrey's nursery and how it is the most colorful thing in the house.

We weren't too crazy about themed nurseries. So instead we went for all things boy: Robots, cars, dinosaurs, animals, spaceships, and sports. I couldn't find anything in stores for his bedding! So I went to a fabric store, got inspired, and took myself to the arts & crafts center to sew this robot bumper and black & yellow crib skirt.
