Week in the Life: My approach
Every year Week in The Life rolls around and I am intrigued for a brief flutter and then move on. I have always felt that I did not have the energy to do a whole album or mostly that my life was boring and I didn't really want to document the everyday little things. I did, but couldnt quite figure out how. Its just the two of us and in the past I have had a very 'boring' and confidential job, so taking photos at work would be 8 hours worth of desk shots and that does not sound fun. So I have always let this week come and go. But not this year.I have realized that even though I don't really want to document whats in our fridge per say, I do want to document our way of life. Since moving I have felt that I have documented all the big, fun events, but not the simple stuff that we often get questions about and that we will want to remember 20 years from now. So I am going to use the group momentum of WITL to help bottle this time in our lives up. I will be adding my photos and stories right into my Project Life album but I wont really be doing a day to day type breakdown. Instead I have chosen a few stories or 'ways of life' that I want to document. I am just using the supplies I have on hand, but these day of the week templates are really beautiful and I may find a way to work them in (if not this week then another). I hope to take a laid back approach and not fret about having certain photos on certain days, just the general idea and will be perfectly fine adding in photos from other weeks to help complete the big picture. I will likely complete pages based on themes (see below).If you are unsure about the intensity of WITL but still want to participate, create your own way!Here are the stories I want to focus on this week: Transportation: how we get around, subway, scooter, bus, walkingOur home: decor, each rooms functionsOur office/classroom at workSchool events, friends, places, kids, etcGroceries: grocery shopping, foods we like, meal planning, etcFood/Eating Out: favorite restaurants, routinesShopping: the local stores and our busy street of open marketsOutfits: what we wear, closetsRoutines: morning, eveningIf you are taking a non-traditional approach to WITL let me know in the comments!
