Post #3 of Personal Project 52 weeks. We yurted last week. Our first time in yurts. I am a big fan of the yurt. Cleaner, drier, proper mattresses, less crouching means less back issues and yet the whole experience still feels like camping. Trust me itโs not anything luxurious. Overall the trip was a smashing…
Post #2 of Personal Project 52 weeks. If all goes as planned, we are well on our way on our first camping trip of the year. Depending on how it goes, it also may be our last. A friend of mine calls it โmaking memoriesโ. How true. Camping trips are not relaxing when youโre running…

I love the idea Karin, and the photo’s are awesome. My favorite is of you and the boys, definitely a keeper. I’m going to have to give the cookie recipe a try…maybe a good stock the freezer before baby kind of recipe to try. And the dinky cars…sweet deal! Hope camping is a success!

i just found this post…loving this one too! it’s so true how much we treasure the pics with us moms with our kids – it’s like “hey i was there too!” the pic with you and the boys is beautiful – great capture! You can never have too many homemade cookies and dinky cars ๐

Mattias looks like Art in this picture(top Right)
Post #1 of Personal Project 52 weeks. This is going to be somewhat of a personal project. I love the idea of personal projects but often flounder on the execution. Iโm an idea person. My idea is this: every week Iโd like to document with photos our daily life. My format will be 1 square…

Love this blog idea Karin! here’s hoping that you’ll have the 52 pages you want in a year! You describing Noah reminded me so much of Cody at age 3: lego, cars and trains! It’s a fun age, enjoy ๐ And that strawberry looks delish ๐
-
What A great idea!! I might copy you, haha. Jealous of your strawberries, we haven’t got any red ones yet. I also love saturday breakfast together, although soccer and the new church have really made our saturdays busy ๐ can’t wait till both are done!
-
Very cool! I love this idea and may have to steal it!
-
I love everything about this!!
-
Love it! I feel the same way about our life. It’s simple, yet full of beauty and so many blessings. It’s great to document those kinds of memories, the simple pleasures that make up our lives.
PS. Love your gardern – how cute and fun is that! -
What a great idea! I need a way to do something like this… I’m such a perfectionist though that I want to go back and start at the beginning, like when Emma was born! Haha, 4 1/2 years ago… well, no time like the present I guess! Beautiful pics.

[…] completing the 52 week Personal Project in 2011, people immediately asked if I would do another personal project. Say what? I barely finished this […]
Without a doubt, photographing my own children is my inspiration to being a photographer. My camera stays on top of my fridge, out of reach of preschool fingers, and nice and close for me to capture every day moments with my kids. Some months are better than othersโฆ Weโve had some beautiful bright winter sunshine….
-
he is SOOOOOO cute Karin! Can’t believe how big he’s getting already. crawling? Where has the time gone? Love the shots of his feet, and him peeking over the tray. ๐
PS Did you put up wainscotting in your dining area? Don’t remember seeing that before, but it looks good!
-
Yes, we put up bead board wainscoting. I was terribly frustrated with the “wall acne” and this was the only way to control it! (haha!). I’m very happy with how it turned out.

He is so sweet! You have such beautiful children – and you capture them so well … talent! Love the idea of the photo boards! Might have to try that myself!
-
Karin, these pics are more than adorable. LOVE them all… esp the feet highchair one, precious. Your little man is getting so big! It was good to see you for a brief minute on Sunday ๐ PS thanks for the tip on Red Leaf, might have to hook myself up with some of those!
-
wow, wow, wow! these pictures of Mattias are just fabulous! I love them all! He’s got an adorable little smirk ๐ I really like the pic of your pictures above the bed and that Mattias is looking at them, too cute! great job Karin!
-
Gorgeous photos Karin —- love your work – your boys are sure photogenic!
-
Karin – your kids are soooo adorable (even with a little mischievous look in Noah’s eyes) ๐ Beautiful photos!
-
Karin!!!!! these are fantastic… so real! your kiddo’s are the sweetest. Also love the prints in your bedroom.
Last month we enjoyed a trip to Osoyoos with family. It was a perfect vacation. Lots of relaxing, good food, good company and fabulous hot weather. I was floored how blue the sky is out there. This photo is pretty much straight out of camera. Every evening after dinner, we headed to the park with…

I love your comment on the grass – “Shag carpet” It immediately made me think of our Mstr bdrm carpet! Love the pictures!! I want to see more ๐
-
wow! these pics are amazing! the colors are so sharp! was disapointed that this was it – definately wanting to see more!
-
Great shots – was sure that the blue was photoshopped!
Tine - Karin!! love these weekly updates ๐ your little one is getting so big already.
Joni - Sounds like yurting was a success ๐ And as always L-O-V-E all the pictures. Considering the camera was still there after 3 days…I think your neighbourhood just got a whole lot safer.
Alyssa - YIKES about your camera! That’s nuts! Glad it’s back in your hands safe and sound though!
yurting – i love it ๐ i’m a tad jealous, we’re braving tenting with 3 kids in a couple weeks. hmmmm.
Audrey - ok – I’ve gotta look up what a yurt is. I dislike camping with a crawling baby, thankfully I’ve only had to do that once and it was with Chelsea. Ashley crawled the day we got home from camping! Poor Mattais. Yikes ’bout the camera! Who did the delivery? You should complain or if next time you have something being delivered make specific instructions for them to not leave the parcel. Crazy! Glad it wasn’t stolen. Great pictures!
Rachel - Looks like a great vacation Karin. How was the weather? And eek on the box left on your front porch…glad it turned out OK (and have you noticed a difference?)
Marta - Love it! Thank you again for posting these every week … it’s like a present in my google reader ๐
Bep - What a story! nice pictures!
Erica Feunekes - That’s a major yikes!! I actually left my camera on our porch last month and as we were driving away, I realized that 2 of our kids had no sweaters with them so I asked Hugo to turn around… Good thing he did…
