If you were to make a photo diary, what would go in it?

This week's #photodiary
- Printed out a lot of cool stuff for my journals. One file didn't want to print no matter what I did. But luckily my auntie could print it out for me at her work🥳
- My oldest got a new phone! He was so happy. It's a dream phone for him. And we could buy it because he used Swappie. They sell used phones. Many, like the one my son got, are in mint condition📱
- Christmas haul from a local store. I also got 4 washi tapes! Now I'm all set for Christmas journaling. Yay!🎄
- A pumpkin spice latte. A favorite of mine. And even better because I went to the café with a bestie🎃
- Beautiful October sunrise🌅
- Re-watching Harry Potter. I'm listening to all the books as audio books. And now I am re-watching the movies to go along with the books. I'm a fan🙋‍♀️
- We went to Sweden for the fall break. It was such a cozy house. And we've actually been there before🇸🇪
- Found coloring pencils in pastels for my sponsor child in Ethiopia. She loves to color. And I think think she has so many pastels. She'll get them for Christmas🎁
- Such a scenic drive through a beautiful part of Sweden. They have SO much forest! And so much had gorgeous fall colors🍁
If you were to make a photo diary, what would go into it?

My energy is very low today. And so is my mood unfortunately. So it was a welcomed routine to make my photo diary.
This week's picks:
- A collage for October in my Faith Journal
- Watching Harry Potter
- Made some pages in my Faith Journal with some cute quotes
- Baked for my oldest's breakfast
- Played with my beloved niece Rosa. We threw leaves into a puddle
- Made great lunches for the kids
- Got some flowers in a fall color
- Psalm book and Bible packed for women's group
- Walking in crunchy leaves.
If you were making your own #photodiary - what would it show?

This week's #photodiary
- The moon shining behind the clouds
- My oldest asked for waffles when he was home from school because he was under the weather. Made them happily. Love when I can bake for my kids
- Elderflower juice with ice cubes as an afternoon treat while doing journaling
- Made a outline for the first page of my reading journal. I've been hesitant beginning to use the journal because it's a dream aquire. But! I decided I'd go with my trusted "work with your perfectionism" trick: just make a draft
- Hit 10.000 steps on my fitbit. I often get more than 10.000 steps. But I've never seen it actually say 10.000 precisely. Always just under or over
- Watched the newest episode of the Danish Bake Off: "Ready. Set. Bake!"
- Looked after my beloved niece Rosa while she wasn't feeling well
- A little chalk piglet on the sidewalk. Made me smile
- Went to the zoo with my nephew Balder and my mom. It was such a cozy time.
Thank you all for letting me share! I love taking photos for my photo diary.
What's going into your photo diary this week?

I really look forward to making this photodiary each week!
Some of the highlights this week:
- Finishing a fall themed spread in my Self-Love Journal. It was about self-love and self-care advice from fall. I made the leaf by cutting the pages in that shape, then inking the shaped pages. There are also Dutch doors and lots of fall themed stickers
- A sugar free salted caramel icelatte as a afternoon treat
- Beautiful hall from a stationary store close to my therapist's office in the city. I was so thankful I found a 5 star rating stamp for the Reading Journal I'm going to start setting up
- I'm doing a Fall Photo Challenge. One prompt was Berries. So I've been on the lookout for berries and found some
- Such a cute "Jule platte" (Christmas plate) I found in a thrift store. I love Royal Copenhagen porcelain and I have a very tiny collection
- One of the last roses this year. It is so fragrant! Love going to bed wrapped in that smell
- Baked for a church event. Squash and carrot cakes. I desperately hope they were okay! Hope they tasted as good as they smelled🤞
- Movie night with my youngest. With our duvets, lighted candles, good food, popcorn, and Deadpool
- I love making healthy and delicious snacks for my sons when they come home from school. It's such a privilege to be able to feed and nourish our kids!
That's my #photodiary

What could go into your photo diary?

It's been a rough week for me and it's continuing unfortunately... so I haven't taken as many pictures for my ##photodiary as I do when I'm good.
But there's still good things to be grateful for. And here are some:
- Cozy, warm socks with I'm so grateful for now that the weather is beginning to change and being barefoot all the time isn't an option
- One of the biggest glimmers: I'm reading again!! Haven't been able to read (not counting the Bible) for years
- Making a cozy and delicious lunch for my youngest. With all the stuff he enjoys during the day
- Spotted a toy on the sidewalk I used to play with when I was little. I don't know what they are called. But we would string them together and make all kinds of stuff with them
- Saw the partial eclipse. It was amazing!
- Love to see plants and flowers find a way through concrete and pavement. Inspires me to keep going
- My mom found a pair of shorts my kids used when they were about 2 years old. So cute. And so many memories
- Borrowed a lamp from my mom for my desk. So I don't have to strain my eyes so much any more
- New nails. The polish is called Aurora.
Thank you for letting me share. And helping me to stay focused on the good - also during challenging times.
