day 31

31

January, 2011

All images taken with my iphone and processed with the Nashville filter on Instagram.

I’m seriously in shock of how fast January has come and gone! What have I been doing (besides playing with my iphone)? :)

Nursing - Even though it is way less times now, I still feel like my life revolves around feeding times… My day is divided in 3 hour increments and I need to be really on top of it, in order to have fun outings with Gabi.

Rocking Gabi to sleep - I can’t/ not going to do the ‘let it cry’ method, so there are lots of rocking going on before napping/ sleeping every day.

Skype’ing with grandparents - What would we do without Skype? We spend quite a few hours a week showing the grandparents new tricks on camera!

Instagram’ing and Flip’ing - If you catch me at any given time of the day I am either holding my Iphone or the FLIP! Love both so much!

Started a flickr page for Alessandra Cave – I used to have a Gypsy Girls Guide page that I hardly ever used. I’m trying to get into Flickr again. Would you come say hi as I start to post there?

Created a FREE pdf with the round up of the Producing a Photoshoot Intro series for my Newsletter subscribers - If you’d like to get one, you still have time to sign up here. Newsletter will go out in the next few days…

Making lists of projects and ideas - Sometimes I feel silly about making creative plans of any kind right now, but I keep writing it all down anyway.

Mom and baby Yoga  - We’ve been going to Yoga together and it is always an adventure! I’ve also been taking the 30days of Yoga with my yogini friend, Marianne, and have come out of it feeling utterly inspired to continue the journey towards getting my body *and mind* back on track. ~ More on that on another post!

Nurturing - Taking care of a few health matters so I can be strong all year long, drinking lots of H2O, smoothies, nursing tea and rooibos tea, and trying to nap when Gabi naps (hard!)!

Seeing friends -My lovely friends have been stopping by often and I have also been making the effort to reach out, call, and go see my girls! That’s doing wonders for my heart!

Traveling a bit - We just spent a week in Southern California! Gabi did great on her first flight, and we are now gearing up for lots more trips in 2011 ~ Brazil in February, The Makerie in April, Lovebomb creative retreat in July, and a secret photography event *soon to be revealed* in the Fall!

Practicing Mindfulness - Mommy land is pure bliss when I can be present without being hard on myself about what “I am not doing” while I am “just” being a mom.

Trusting the Flow - You did not see tons of blogging, marketing or working on this list, did you? Yep. Right now I am just trusting that seeds have been planted (more on that on another post!) and that the universe will provide. It always does.

How about you? What have you been up to?
