We have a lot to celebrate in the Higgins home. After a week of potty-training boot camp, we officially have another child out of diapers forever! This is happy stuff. So you better believe that became yesterday’s “picture of the day” for our Project 365.
The sticker chart is Porter’s idea, and he made it for Claire when we kicked off the boot camp last week. Such a supportive big brother.
So have you thought about your approach to Project 365? I’m sure many of you are doing the family approach, like us. We’ll all participate (I’m sure I’ll be taking most of the pictures & writing most of the journaling blocks), but it’ll be a family effort. And our picture-taking will be all over the place. Totally random. Just whatever we want to capture each day. But as you get started with the project, don’t forget about the other ideas … different ways to approach capturing your year:
• All about a kid and what he/she does every day in a year
• Self-portraits
• Month-by-month review: Simply use the page protectors to slip pictures from each month into the album. But you don’t have to take a picture every single day.
• Weekly or monthly themes: Pick a topic to focus on each week or month. For example, one week might be pictures at work, another week might be errands, another might be clothes you wear, and then food you eat, and then technology you love, etc.
• All About Me: For adult or child (what you wear, what you eat, what you love, where you go, who you hang out with, where you work, why you do what you do)
• Baby’s first year
• Use the kit as a regular photo album that holds pictures and journaling blocks. Doesn’t have to be sub-categorized into weeks or months.
• Circle journal for Multi-Family: Combine efforts with your siblings and have each family take different months. Put it all together in one Project 365 album and you have an awesome gift for grandparents!
• favorite photo a day (old or new)
• Home Sweet Home: Focus on every little detail of the place you call home, inside and out.
• Pregnancy
• Family Journal: The whole family is involved in Project 365 and contributing their pictures & journaling to the album. Leave the camera accessible to all. Even if it means your three-year-old is taking pictures of the floor. What a great way to capture everyone’s perspective! You could even set up a schedule so that you take turns for each day or week.

I just feel that this information is tremendously helpful. I’m sure the following aphorism will appeal to your interest. – “Failure is not the only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.” ~ Jules Renard (1864 – 1910)
Yay, finally a new update. There was quite a big gap between updates.
Great post. Can I ask you a question? I want to start a blog as well that is why I was searching on the internet for blogs to use as examples, do you find you have to be perfect in your grammar to have people like what you write? I have been told I write like I speak, so I was wondering if that was a bad thing.

Sorry for being off topic, but I am just starting my website/blog. Why did you choose WordPress over blogger or any other blog program? I am trying to figure out the best way, since I am not a techy.
I marvel at what you eat done here. I like the section where you announce ‘ you are doing this to consign backside but I would simulate near all the comments that this is working quest of you as well.
Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
I admit, I have not been on this webpage in a long time… however it was another joy to see It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issues.
