Week In The Life 2012 | Sunday Words + Photos

Thanks again for sharing your week & process with us!!! The giveaways were icing on the cake :)

Thanks for sharing your reflections on the process--I so appreciate the inspiration that it brings.

Ali, I can't wait to see you pull all of this together. I know I'm pooped...excited to put the camera and pen down for a bit, but equally as excited to see what I captured when I attempt to pull this all together. This seems to be the toughest part for me...finding the time to sit down and pull everything together. I'm excited though and grateful for the opportunity to capture a week in our lives. Thank you!

Just loved! Awesome pics girl!

LOVE the princess playing basketball!!

I love that you don't forget to put yourself into your photos. Even if it's a profile or a shot from above or behind, I feel that it's important to show that I WAS THERE!

Thanks for the chance to win, by the way. You're such a giver. :)

I almost stopped on Friday. Was running low on motivation by then. So glad I didn't! The weekend was full of good memories I'll be glad to have captured.
Looking forward to your layout posts later on...determined to see this to completion!
Enjoyed the week 'with' you Ali :)

looks like a great day! enjoyed sharing your week. :)

Precious photos today - love the basketball playing princess. And congratulations on continuing to look forward and finding the possibilities in your new life.
I think the project made me grateful for a few things I've been taking for granted, but it also made me recognize some of the current conflicts in my life.

I agree - the project this year was a bit tough - maybe because of project life, i don't know. But I am glad I did it, even to get some inspiration of what kind of photos I would like to take more of! Thanks again!

Diggin' the shovel photo!

I love the shot of Anna playing basketball in a princess dress. And my youngest son likes to bring his balnket from bed and walk around with it and play with it around him much like your pitures show of Simon. Thanks for a look into your Sunday. Looks like it was a nice day for you.

A beautiful week in words and photos, as always. Thanks for being so candid and sharing your week along with all of us. I really admire you and your work!

I love that Anna helped you bake bread out of the Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day. My son (3) LOVES to bake (and eat) the bread out of that book. Every time we do it, I hope he remembers it when he is older. :)

Amazing, wonderful. A great collection of more lovely photos and moments frozen.

Thanks again for sharing yourself, your passion for memory keeping and your honestly about life as it for you right now.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This was the first year I committed to do a Week in the Life and am so very thankful that I did. I cannot wait to get all my photos into a book. I organized everything last night and plan on a marathon of scrapping over the weekend.

Thank you for sharing your photos. I got a chuckle out of the picture of your son sulking. Have a similar one of my almost 8 year old son after a melt down on Sunday afternoon. All part of growing up and learning to deal with his own frustrations.

LOVED this opportunity. It required a lot of thought and I already know what I would do differently for the next time. LOL. Can't wait to put it all together over the next week or so.

Great selection of sponsors. I've bookmaarked all of them. Hoping I'm lucky enough to win something.

Thanks for all of the inspiration. I look forward to being able to take this on at least once a year.

wonderful photos as usual Ali!

Love week in the life! Thank you!

Ali, I'm so glad to hear that your WIL ended up helping you in ways you didn't expect! Keep us posted as you put it all together and thanks for all you share!

Another year, another week in the life. Your inspiration as your life changes, vividly shown in the photos (that huge number 3 keeps calling to me) and expressed so eloquently in your words, is a catalyst to me. Thank you so very much, Ali.

I LOVE that picture of Anna with the basketball! So awesome!

Ali, you are so inspirational! Loved seeing all the beautiful pictures you shared with us this week! The princess and the basketball is one of my favorites, but I loved Simon's hand over the face picture because my 35 year old daughter does almost the same thing! I get lots of eye rolls! I act wait to see your finished product. I enjoyed documenting the week because it shows how much time I spend caring for my quadraplegic son! God bless you and good luck in making those choices.

One of the things I noticed and reflected on as I was going through this year's Week is the purpose it served (and didn't serve) for me. When I first did "Week in the Life" in 2010, I didn't do as much "daily documenting" from week to week - either with my camera or in my planner - so participating in the project was new and insightful. But as my documentation of life has changed - as I've come to more actively value the importance of capturing the small moments just as much as the big moments - so has my thought process about "Week."

I'm not sure if I'll make any layouts for this Week - I may just let the daily blog entries stand as my "record" - but no matter what I end up doing with it, thanks for hosting this project again. The simple idea of documenting and reflecting is always worthwhile! =)
