Woohoo – final month of the Just Us Twelve Times personal photography challenge!

Couldn’t resist this barn during a family trip to the Midwest over the holidays.  It will always remind me of a great day spent riding tractors and other cool farm vehicles with family and friends.

And a quick look back at 2013…  As with many things in life – deadlines, accountability  and a supportive community can make all the difference in getting something done.  In this case, that “something” was the simple goal of capturing more photos with our entire family included.  Without this project, and the great women who joined me on the adventure, many of these images and memories of our year together simply would not exist.

Julyssa Schenk took up this challenge with me 2 years ago and has consistently inspired and motivated me to keep going, even after I was ready to be done after the first year.  Domonique over at A Bowl Full of Simple joined in this year because the idea of keeping mom in the picture resonated with her as well.  Check out how these two finished up their year!

Here is to identifying your projects and new goals in 2014!
