Photo Of The Day - Days 8-14

Day 8:

As a loyal, if not slightly obsessed, Young House Love follower, I was beyond stoked to attend (part of, working late - womp womp) their Austin book talk and signing with my dear friend/sister Celeste. They are some seriously down to earth, friendly, and genuinely funny people - meeting them was fantastic! Equally as fantastic was the day that YHL posted about their stop in Austin and Celeste made the blog!

Day 9:

Today's prompt was "peaceful." Here's the part where posting these pictures over 2 months later is troublesome - I can't remember exactly what Tom was watching on TV, all I remember is that he wasn't paying attention to the camera because the show made him laugh (yay, candid smile!). We spend more evenings than we probably should like this, cuddled on the couch watching TV. My sister, Melissa, crocheted that blanket for Tom for Christmas and it has been logging some serious TV watching hours with us ever since.

Day 10:

The prompt was "real life."I got this wok for Tom for Christmas - he'd been gazing longingly at woks and talking about wanting to figure that style of cooking out for months and months. I figured with both us committing to making better food choices, a wok could only expand our repertoire of healthy meals to make at home. He figured out how to season the wok and has been whipping up incredibly fast healthy stir-frys for us a couple times a week since! Turns out this was a fairly self serving gift on my part - whoops...

Day 11:

Mah man! Pretty sure I caught him playing around with various pedals making some really weird/amazing sounds come out of that guitar. We call that guitar Elton John - it's purple and sparkly with a touch of rose gold thrown in for good measure. Seems like something Sir Elton would approve of/wear.

Day 12:

Ugh. Today's prompt - "self portrait." I thought it'd be fun to play with some different lighting sources, so to the fridge I went! Also, self portraits are suuuuuper awkward when your husband is in the house asking what you're doing. Oh nothing sweetie, just taking pics of myself...from the fridge's point of view....

Day 13:

Oh hot tea...my beverage of choice, for sure. I drink hot tea like many people drink coffee, two cups a day at least, more if I'm lucky. Tom is a bit caffeine sensitive so we've gotten in the habit of enjoying a cup of low caffeine tea in the evenings. Here I was making us some green tea with jasmine - my fave low caffeine option. *Side note, that coffee maker has a spigot for hot water. Game. Changer. Love my pretty yellow tea kettle, but for one or two quick cups of tea this is my jam!

Day 14:
Almost made it a whole week of daily photo taking!!! It's a good thing I'm not totally derailed by a healthy sprinkling of failure here and there.
