Project 52: Week 1 Resolution

Thanks to one of my fellow Momtographie classmates I am involved in a Project 52. This is project where you take one picture a week that best fits the listed theme.

Week 1 is Resolution.

When I hear the word Resolution, the first thing I thought of  was a New Years' resolution...you know,the ones we make on January 1st but soon abandon.  I usually don't make New Years' resolutions. But this year I vowed to not use my IPhone when I am with my daughter.  Smartphones make it easy for us to keep up with Facebook, pin stuff on Pinterest etc whenever and wherever.  But when I am with my daughter I should be "present" with her.  Therefore FB etc can wait until she is in bed...I'm busy hanging out with my child.

It hasn't been easy.  Yes I do sneak a peek when I'm making supper but I have cut down my usage considerable and I am very aware of when I do chose to use it.

For me phones do not belong at the dinner table.  This is a time for eating a meal together and enjoying being and interacting as a family.  It annoys me when my HB is "busy" on his phone during a meal.

So for Week One, I took this picture.

Here is a list of the themes that I will be working on for this Project 52.  If anyone would like to join in on the fun I would love to see your pictures so I encourage you to post it onto the comments of the corresponding blog post.
