January 8: Strawberry picking, one of my favorite things to do with the kids. We visited Pappy’s Patch this day with a friend, came home with several pounds of sweet berries. (iPhone)

January 9: Afternoon at the library.

January 10: Back to the gym after too long of a break. My new favorite workout? Spin bike on the cardio floor to my own music. Followed up by some elliptical, treadmill and stairmaster, depending on day. My goal this year is to keep things interesting and stay consistent.

January 11: An afternoon at the park with my little girl. It was a little gloomy out that day, but the sun was trying hard to break through. It’s become our Friday afternoon tradition to sit and catch up on a bench under this tree, while her baby doll swings in the baby swings in front of us.

January 12: My Key Lime/Meyer Lemon tree is finally doing something!!

January 13: My Birthday. Spent it with my 3 favorite people in the World. At my most favorite place. One of my best birthdays ever. <3

The post A Photo A Day 2013 {Project 365: Weeks 2 & 3} appeared first on Aggie's Kitchen.

On the list of the things I’ve set out to do in 2013 is use my camera more.  After a few conversations with my friends Kim and Kristen, I’m inspired to take part in a photo a day project (for myself), taking and posting a photo from each day in 2013. I haven’t figured out all the logistics yet, but I hope to stay organized and post once a week “ish” – so stay tuned.

I truly love to capture moments (and food) with photos, especially with my iPhone (hence my obsession with Instagram). Over the last year, I’ve found myself using my phone camera more often than my ‘real’ camera, and honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about that. I’ve set a goal for myself this year to improve my photography, so in an effort to work towards that goal, I’ve decided to challenge myself to keep my big girl camera at my side and start snapping more pics with it. The irony behind my first week of Project 365? All my photos were taken with my iPhone.

Yep, I’m a work in progress. It’s all good.
