Blog a la Cart

Slowly but surely I’m closing the books on 2013. December is such a busy month that I like saving these yearly reviews for the quieter months of January. It gives me the chance to reflect on that past 12 months when I can truly enjoy the process. One of my favorite “traditions” is working with James to create our yearly family video. It’s our version of a photo album, our way of cataloguing the years. It forces me to wade through all of the images from the past 365 days, experiencing them anew and stringing them together in to a story of that year. James is almost finished with the slideshow. I love all the thought and care and attention to detail he puts into these videos each year. It’s fun to catch all the clever pairings of image and lyric that he infuses into each one.

In the meantime, here’s a 30 second round up of my favorite images from my 2013 Instagram feed. I share in that space daily (if not multiple times daily) and love that it’s an on the ground, on the fly representation of our lives. Do follow along @blogalacart.
