jan. 5th: something you wore banana republic animal print cardi w/ j.crew baubles
I remember once being moved after reading a story of a man who had snapped a Polaroid photo every day during the latter half of his life. Whether he captured a pair of his socks or a family member's smile, the significance was nestled in the fact that these were pieces, not necessarily moments, which made his life, well, his. Inspired by this simple act of documentary, I've attempted to do the same in minuscule proportion by taking a photo of one thing in my life each day over the course of one year, but I have failed to do so in sequential order, and subsequently started and stopped this project many times. Luckily, I seem to be one of many who would like to achieve such a goal, as my friend Parmie reached out in late December and asked if I'd like to participate in "January Photo a Day" where you snap a photo of something in your life that correlates with the prompted list of subjects for the entire month. I was ecstatic to start this project once more, and thought I'd share a recap of the photos each Saturday on here during the month of January. If you are participating, please let me know! I'd love to see your photos as well.

Have a fabulous Saturday.

What a great idea! Beautiful photos, and I love the color of your kitchenaid. Have a wonderful weekend!
ooh love love! Cute flats and that Kitchenaid color is beyond lovely! Happy NY gorgeous!
beautiful images... i love that powdery blue of your KA... have a great weekend!
I love those shoes!
those shoes.... sigh.
What a fun project! Love your photos. Would probably make a beautiful coffee table book once the year is done!
I'm having a lot of fun with this too! I am doing it on instagram, and adding the #janphotoaday tag. My instagram name: libbyjb
Gosh, I'd give anything to have that KitchenAid...and in that color of course. :) Such a great color, so soothing! ;)
I've been loving everyone's photos! What an amazing project. Your KitchenAid is my favorite - especially because mine is plain, boring silver and I am jealous of those with color:)
Absolutley love this idea and what fun to have something online to look back at one day (hopefully fondly) and rekindle special memories triggered by seeing an item associated with that memory....love that idea!
LOVE this project! Wish I would have done it ... maybe Feb? :)
I have that exact same kitchen aid yay were twins!
I love this idea too -- I am going to start it today. Late, but I am going to do it.
Wow. It is indeed a moving story. Love your images. So important to treasure the little things in life.

I love this idea! My husband and I did something similar, taking a picture a day for our first year of marriage and posted them to Facebook. Its awesome now to be able to look back and see our whole first year of marriage in snapshots. keep up the awesome photos.
I love this idea! Since blogging I've begun to document my life a lot more and it's fun to look back.
Love your photos! So glad you are doing this with me xx @parmie
This is a wonderful idea! I can't wait to see all of your pics!
I think this is a great idea! I opened my iPhoto the other day to discover that my 2011 folder really did not contain much of anything. How disappointing considering it was such a huge year for us. I say STAY snap-happy all year!

Love the color of you mixer.
Cute shoes too!
What a fun project.
Inspiring idea! Thank you for sharing.
love these pictures :) especially of that blue blender thing, I've seen them in the stores. How amazing would they look in a kitchen? xx

I love this idea! I had started something similar but gave up on the list and am now just taking photos of whatever comes to me! I love your Kitchenaid mixer, the color is absolutely perfect.
Lovely post.
The photos here seem professionally done. Great job.
These are such beautiful glimpses, Annemarie! What a wonderful idea. :)
love those pearls!

Such a great idea! One day I'd like to do the same thing, but I just think I'm faaar too busy to keep remembering. Way to go, looking forward to next Saturday's pics
What a wonderfully romantic idea.
I can't believe I missed out on the first week - but I will be starting today! So exciting :) I always love a reason to take photos.

Gorgeous photos. Really working on tighter shots, as I'm noticing you're doing. It's so interesting to look at things through the eyes of a lenses.
last year I had made the resolution to take a photo every week and I didn`t last long at all! Looking at this post makes me want to try again this year. I think I`ll switch to daily like you so that I stick with it too.
:)

Such a cute idea. I think more people do this without realizing with our iphones, instagram, etc. (If it isn't everyday, it's pretty close.)
This is such a great project - looking forward to seeing more photos! We have the same KitchenAid mixer :-)
I started doing this last week too! I think having the list is helpful, and it's just so much fun to see the differences in so many pictures of the same things-sort of!
Happy New Year, Annemarie ~ just getting back to blogging this week! What a lovely thing to try to do ~ to take a picture from your life every day for a year but I agree with you, difficult to achieve. I'm never good at journals or diaries, as I am such a perfectionist and my handwriting is never right enough and when I invariably miss a day, I feel like chucking the whole project and I know this one would be difficult too. One month, as yours in January, sounds a bit more manageable! And I'm in LOVE with your tiffany blue Kitchenaid and now I want one too. ;)

love the idea of this! i am just terrible at remembering to take photos...always getting too caught up in life! this is a great way to keep yourself in check :) XO brynn
I'm doing it too! Started on the 5th. You can follow me on Instagram. I'm timeforeverything. Love the flats by the way!
What a cool idea and great reminder not to take life for granted! thanks for sharing!! :)
What a brilliant idea!! You will do amazing!! can't wait for you to share more of you photos, as the month(year) continues. You are a natural and your photos are brilliant!! xo HHL
P.S. received your email.. your lovely teacup and saucer will go out this week when I go to the post office in town. xo
Great project! I might have to start my own version :)
I love this photo a day challenge! great idea and stick with it:-) So proud, I probably couldn't do it lol.
Enjoy your week love!
I love your pics! I have a friend doing the photoa day challenge and feel like I would like to start it too, but maybe do a weekly wrap up of it (like how you have posted today)Xx
What a wonderful idea. I love your pictures. xo
Wow, such a great idea and such cool photos! I will look forward to seeing them every Saturday. ( :
Those flats are DARLING!!!
Love this photo a day set! The Kitchenaid mixer in that color is SURE to make anyone smile :)
I love this idea. I write a quote down every day, especially the ones I find online in this wonderful world of blogger and tumblr. I find constant inspiration everyday from these words!
Pictures, though, will be my next thing. I did that throughout college, and it's been very fun (and funny) to look back at those years. I haven't taken daily, mundane photos like that in awhile, and perhaps should. Thanks for sharing this.
Love this idea!
I love this little project and am doing it too on instagram. My username is @tamsyn_riley . Are you doing yours on instagram or on twitter?
Such great pictures! I really need to take part in this!
