My Week(273) in iPhone Photos
I don’t know, guys. My iPhone photos are getting worse and worse and I’m not sure this is even a thing worth posting anymore. I only do it because it seems like such a shame to quit now – I have every day of our lives since I was pregnant with CAROLINE documents in iPhone photos. But they’re not good photos. And I should really push myself to post actual content on the blog if I’m going to bother to blog at all, instead of just doing this once a week. I’m conflicted.
Sunday:
Poser
FOOTBAAAAAAALL
I am unable to stop myself from decorating for a party almost a week early
Monday:
Aspirational spring dress purchasing
Snow angels! FINALLY!
TWINNING
Tuesday:
I bought my mom fish like these at a craft fair this summer. These are at Target.
RAINBOWS AT TARGET
Important party shopping: sugar, flowers, lemons
Wednesday:
Tiny reader
Nappy time
Caroline is being supportive of Daddy’s workout
Thursday:
It is still Christmas at the florist
They both thought this was hilarious
Making caramel for the popcorn balls
Friday:
Linc and friends enjoyed the party food
We ate kind of a lot of baked goods
I TOTALLY forgot piano, but our teacher let us come late
Sunday:
Movies and house-trashing because…
…this was outside
She has given up on life because she can’t go out and build a snowman in a blizzard
We did not get the same giant storm that my parents did down in DC, but we got a few inches. The weather the rest of this week is supposed to be surprisingly warm, which means all that snow will melt and things will be boring and brown again. But it ALSO means we won’t have to sell any kidneys to afford oil to heat the house, so it’s a toss-up really. I’m still trying to find our floors after the combination of party-blizzard-snow day, because the kids seriously just destroyed EVERYTHING. It’s hard to find motivation when they’re just going to destroy stuff again.
I’ve already reached DESPONDENCE and it’s not even February. Send all the sunshine and salted caramel ice cream immediately.

Bonjour! No I'm not French, it just sounded fancy. Sorry for the confusion. I'm Suzanne, a 36-year-old mom, photographer, Navy wife, blogger, baker, and amateur at pretty much everything else. The stars of the show are Evan, born 4/5/09, Caroline, born 12/19/2010 and Lincoln, born 7/23/2014. The last bebeh is Finnegan, born 8/30/2016 so he's a toddler now but don't talk to me about that. We live in Connecticut and enjoy it very much except for most of February and March. You can find more of my photos (or even hire me!) over on my photography site, 
Send me some salted caramel ice cream as well :P we got NO snow from that blizzard here in MI which was nice, for once.
My two cents on the bloggity blog business as non-blogger who was basically the platonic ideal of the Reader/Commenter: keep going. Not for me or anyone else, but for you. That original engagement model is fried and probably not replaceable, but you have years of what everyone claimed they wanted out of blogging when they started, a record, photographic and otherwise of your life and your children. And unlike a personal journal, because you’re trying to engage the public, it’s been edited and culled in a GOOD way. You have to avoid shorthand references or nicknames. You can’t dwell on the irritating or the petty. And in ten years, you’ll be kissing yourself for that.
So keep going, why not? Even if it seems like the same Week in Photos week after week. Your weeks may feel the same to you now, but again, in ten years, think how sweet the difference in Week 273 Linc and Week 274 Linc will be, especially when you just want his pre-teen self to remember how laundry baskets work.
I could kiss you, Kitty. Thank you for literally ALWAYS being supportive of my blog and completely understanding the whole big thing. I don’t think I could ever actually quit, although sometimes it sure feels like shouting into a void. I really really really hope someday the kids find this valuable too.
Well said Kitty!
