That's all for January. February photo a day starts tomorrow :) Yay! Are you in? If so, what is your instagram username? Mine is @dailydoily.
Have you seen this on Sometimes Sweet blog?
I've tried to eat clean before + really enjoyed it. It's amazing what it does to your body. You will have more energy, feel better, your face will glow + you might lose weight. Sounds great right? It's sort of hard to keep up with, but I try to eat healthy for the most part. I just have a major sweet tooth, but there are healthy options for someone who likes dessert. Yesterday, I tried a wasa cracker with almond butter + raspberries. It was so good:
Do you eat clean? Have any great recipies? I'd love to hear :)
Obsessing Over: Instagram. I've talked about it before, but I am totally loving this app! I'm having so much fun doing the January photo a day challenge + I'm so glad they are going to continue for the rest of the year (I think).
Working On: My new year's resolutions. I've started a new painting, which I am really enjoying. I've also done a sketch + art journal page every week so far. I'm also working on my happiness + being less critical. I consider myself to be carefree + free-spirited, but I'm not sure how true that is. I let little things bother me + consume me. I'm trying to LET GO. I think it will bring me more happiness + the people around me. I have to remind myself of this constantly because it is so HARD.
Thinking About: The fact that I already wrote most of this once + typepad decided to delete it or I didn't save it :( Bummer. I'm also thinking about showing love to my family more. I think it's the little things that make life + relationships so special. I want to make sure I'm stopping to tell/show the people I care about that I love them. It's easy to go through the day to day motions + forget about this. I think there needs to be more love notes in my life :)
Anticipating: Spring. I'm so ready for sundresses, bike riding, picnics + bare feet.
Listening To: My winter playlist. It's so good ;)
Drinking: Sparkling water with a splash of 100% grape juice + naked juices, along with the usual water + tea.
Wishing: It was the weekend, haha. I think I'm always looking forward to that.
What are you up to? I'd love to know.

It's been really fun. I think I could continue doing it for the rest of the year :) I'll post the rest at the end of the month ♥
Last weekend Zac + I went to the Brooks Museum of Art. He wanted to see the Armed + Dangerous <<Art of The Arsenal>> exhibit + I missed out when the urban sketchers group went there. It was a beautiful day + we said it felt like we were out of town. It was so much fun :)
Sketches that I did:
10am // Wake up + get ready for the day
11am // Allergy shot
12pm // Breakfast at Bryant's...YUM! Zac wasn't sure if it would be worth the wait, but it totally was.
1pm // Brook's art museum. I never imagined marrying a man that likes going to art museums (even maybe more than I do!). He takes his time + reads every little thing. He loves history. I love that about him because I can't stand it ;)
2pm //Sitting on a bench in front of the Brook's. Zac was so proud of this picture because it was his idea ;)
3pm // Went for a walk + tried to get our cards at the gym but they were closed
4pm // Blogged + rubbed on Vera
5pm // Snuggled in bed, watched tv + thought about a nap
6pm // Made dinner, which was very exciting...mac + cheese on a Saturday night woo hoo!!!
7pm // Ate dinner + relaxed with Vera on the couch
8pm // Watched the Memphis Tigers + Grizzlies play basketball
9pm // Still watching the game
10pm // Got ready for bed
Zac + I spent the whole day together. It was nice.
Have you ever done a photo/picture an hour post? This was my first + it was really fun! I may start doing one once a month. Next time I am going to have the correct time set on my camera.
Here are some other bloggers that do:

I started this painting a while ago + added the top right part this weekend. I'm not a fan of it yet, but I'm just working things out right now. I'm trying to figure out what I want to paint + how. It's been a while :)
