A Picture an Hour of January 12

9:00 a.m. - Coffee in my favorite mug.
10:00 a.m. - Morning workout at the YMCA.
11:00 a.m. - Getting ready for the day.
12:00 p.m. - In the car (not driving!).
1:00 p.m. - I picked up my last box of books for my final semester of college! So crazy.
2:00 p.m - It was really cold yesterday. Thankfully my horse sweater kept me warm. 
3:00 p.m. - Coffee and tea with my mom at The Pearl Cup.
4:00 p.m. - I discovered my new favorite store, Milk & Honey, and a few new crazy sweaters to add to my collection!
5:00 p.m. - Clementines are my current favorite snack.
6:00 p.m. - Working on a custom headband order.
7:00 p.m. - Grilled cheese for dinner.
8:00 p.m. - Listening to my favorite record, Nat King Cole live at the Sands.
9:00 p.m. - Keeping up with my one-line-a-day journal.
10:00 p.m. - A little lip balm before bed.

I think every blogger has a "blogging bucket list" of posts they want to try and I've been struggling to accomplish a photo an hour post for months! I tried to do it on class days, but three or four hours of a picture of my desk got pretty boring, so I gave up. It was Rebecca of The Clothe's Horse and her picture an hour posts that inspired me to give it a try when I started blogging. Now, I love Miss James', Elycia's, and Kaylah's picture an hour posts too! It is such a fun peek into a person's daily routine. This day turned out to be surprisingly fun even though I thought I would be dragged down by the weight of my new books for a new semester and the realization that Christmas break is almost over. I didn't let that get me down and my mom and I ended up having a surprisingly great day! It's simple days like this that make me so happy. Oh and finding out that the most perfect store in the entire world exists and is in Dallas, TX is a real treat too. ;-) I took a ton of pictures inside Milk & Honey and will be sharing them next week.

Have you ever tried a picture an hour post? It is actually pretty tough to keep up with, but I'm so glad I finally did it! I took a total of 257 pictures though...that seems off, doesn't it? Haha.

  5. Beautiful photography.
    I love that coffee cup!
    I'd never even heard of hour a day posts, but it seems like a great idea. If I did one these days it would be so boring and/or horrible. "7 am, change diaper" "9 am, wipe rice cereal from far flung reaches of the kitchen floor"

  11. LOVE that cup. And the picture of the record is amazing (!).

    I've only ever done one photo an hour post, I did it in September. They're so much fun, but kinda hard to keep up with throughout the whole day. :)

  12. It was Rebecca who made me want to do photo an hour posts too! The Clothes Horse was the 2nd blog I ever started following and her photo an hour posts were my favourite.
    You did a lovely job and oh my goodness 257 photos? That's a lot!

  13. Great pictures! I've thought about picture an hour posts before but have the same problem - either eight hours' worth of pictures of my desk or a full day of pictures of me sitting on the sofa...? Not really blogworthy...!
