When I decided to lose social media I found a spot on my desk to charge my phone and that is where it stays unless I leave the house and then I throw it into my purse. But my phone has become a phone. I am now slower to respond to texts or phone calls but so far this has been a good thing for me.
I have been much more in tune with those around me instead of checked out on my phone.
I have also picked up my little Samsung Nx300 more. I love this little camera and it so much easier to grab than my big camera. And better pictures than my iPhone.
So for me it’s been a win-win. I can’t believe it’s the end of the year and I am contemplating another 365 project as I do every single year and every year I never finish… so I am thinking of ways to make it easier so I will actually do it. I am thinking this little camera might be the answer. I will also be picking the brains of my photog friends that are successful with this project. I know it’s a great way to grow.
And now, on to Thanksgiving. I know a lot of you got snow but we didn’t get any although it was very cold.
I had good helpers in the kitchen
Cole made the mashed potatoes
Hudson learned that the kitchen is a good place to hang in case something accidentally falls on the floor
This puppy has brought so much joy to our house. I just can’t say it enough. We are all heart eyed over him.
Being back in retail has it’s disadvantages- Andy had to work a tad on Thanksgiving and then of course today since it is black friday.
We have so much firewood from a a couple trees that had to be cut down on our property- but this stack on our back porch didn’t last long- time to haul more in from the back!
These were the last stragglers at the table
It was snuggle under blankets on the couch kind of day
He’s a good boy
Round two was a little less formal- obviously Austin has not given up social media! I love this picture, this is what I want to capture more of- lifestyle shots. Every day moments.
The grandparents sat that one out
And the sick kid showed his face- poor dude.
All in all a great thankful Thanksgiving!
