On January 1, 2023, I started my New Year’s resolution of taking a picture of Holden every day for the year. I had the same resolution in 2019, but with Hudson. My goal wasn’t to just take a picture, but to take a picture with an actual camera instead of just my phone (that baby is loaded to the brim with photos).

Even though I haven’t quite gotten around to loading them into a big collage (for the life of me, I can’t figure out what I used to make Hudson’s), I did complete my “challenge”! It’s so fun to look back at the beginning of the year to see just how much he’s grown. A lot happened last year, and I’m glad I have some fun photos of Holden (but really all three kids) to remind me of all the things that happened.

Next year it will be Brenlee’s turn. I probably could have done it this year, but I honestly needed a break. We have a lot going on this year anyway, so I didn’t want to put too much pressure on myself to complete it. This year I decided my resolution would be a bit more flexible, so I decided I would be sending more random happy mail to people! I figured that was completely doable, even with our overseas move coming up!

While I am looking forward to doing a Brenlee 365, it is nice to not have to remember to take a picture every day. I do have some fun photo shoots coming up though, so stay tuned!
