Welcome...

Welcome to my project 365.



What is project 365? It is simply where you take a photo a day for 365 days.

Why do project 365? People do it for different reasons but I received a new camera for xmas and in order to get used to using it I decided the best way was to use it often, not just when I schedule a shoot but for everyday things. Project 365 will get me thinking outside the 'box' and make me think more creatively about what I am photographing. If you happen to stop by don't be a blog stalker :) sign up and leave me a message........I hate talking to myself!


Ok well I finished my 365 so now what? For now I'm just going to update a few things that happen so that family members following can still see what we are up to.

EMPOWERING OUR CHILDREN

Day 220 / 365


This is a game I call scenarios which I made up for my children and we regularly play at the dinner table.  Basically I put everyday scenarios onto paper and the children choose one out of the box and we discuss what their action would be.  The scenarios can be anything from what they would do if faced with bullying, using manners or how to keep safe.  I have found it to be a great tool when circumstances come up in the childrens' lives that need to be discussed.  As they get older the scenarios will change to be more relevant.  It also gives an opportunity to open communication lines about things that we often forget to discuss until a situation arises.
