Week 7

This has been a great week, inspite of the continued miserable winter weather. I have been able to keep up with my daily photograph, for 7 weeks now. I am very proud of myself for doing this. For the month of February, I am doing the Alphabet theme and I had two days extra to take a photograph of anything besides the theme. It so happened that this week I used both my free passes for those Alphabet free days. One was for Valentine's Day, the other was for the baby shower for two of my really good friends who are each having baby #2. This baby shower has been in the works for a few weeks but since we kept getting snow storms, it kept getting postponed. So glad we were finally able to celebrate with our friends and now looking forward to the new arrivals :)

Going back to the Valentine's Day story. I know a lot of people think that Valentine's day is a marketing scam and people fall in the trap of buying overpriced jewelry, roses and chocolates. I think it is alright to fall into such traps for love. Yes you should love, respect and cherish your partners and loved ones all year long and express your love everyday but we all know that its easier said than done. Everyone has a busy schedule and you are just trying to do the best you can each day. So if there is a designated day that everyone knows about and you make a bigger effort to make your loved one feel special, then there is certainly nothing wrong with it. Go crazy splurging if you want to. I know no body would mind that one bit :) I had a perfect Valentine's day outing with my amazing hubby and son. We went out for a fancy brunch in the city and I got to pick up a piece of jewelry on the way back. I am one lucky gal that's for sure.

Hope you all had a great day with your loved ones. We sometimes get carried away in our daily lives and don't let our family know how much they mean to us, especially if you live far away from them. So, take some time to let them know how much you love them. 

Enjoy this week's photographs!

Week 6

Hello Friends!

This week was a bit tough with us being home bound more than usual because of the insane amount of snow. We have had 3 big storms in the last 3 weeks and innumerable light snow days. It becomes a bit difficult to keep a toddler busy and while trying to do that and keeping a house running normally, I was unable to take new photos for everyday of the week. I ended up using two old photos as filler that I took a while back. The first one is the E for Eye photo which is one of my favorite photo of my son, Zain. The other is Day 41 photo of the train passing by. The latter was taken during one of our Christmas time outings.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the wintery photos of the week. Enjoy the weekend and keep checking out my blog. Thanks!

Week 5

Oh boy! What a week it has been? We were having such a nice mild winter and then boooom we got hit by the blizzard Juno and got 2 feet of snow dumped on us. I've been in Boston for over 3 years and yes the winters can be a bit harsh but this one has become the craziest one. It is because of the fact that it started out as a really mild winter and with hardly any snow which is unusual for Boston but then it just took a U-turn and since then its been snowing day in and day out and it feels like we are living in Alaska or something.

So I guess for the next few weeks there are going to be just snow photos or indoor ones because of lack of other activity. Also in my 365 Project I took up a mini challenge for the month of February. 

This is how it works:

28 days in February

• One photo for every letter of the alphabet
• Two wild cards days

Photos could either be of the letter, something beginning with the letter, a technique that starts with the letter like blank and white etc.

I am enjoying the challenge so far. Let's hope I can continue with it.

Week 4

This marks the end of week 4 and I am pleased with my efforts so far. It is extra work daily for sure but I think at the end of the day I am glad I am doing something to make me happy. I think I needed this for my sanity. I love being a mom and being around my son, watching him learn new things everyday but I also want some me time activity and this is exactly that. 

Here are my collection of photographs for the week. Every week I think I will put in more effort and describe how each day went by and what was my reason behind the photo I posted but I don't get around to doing that and a caption has to suffice for now.
