Fall Day in the Life Heads Up

I will be doing my quarterly Day in the Life post tomorrow and it will be posted by the end of this week. If any other blogger wants to play along, all you need to do is pick one day to document between now and Wednesday, October 24, which is 10 days from now.

 You will take photos throughout the day and then type up a post and let me know the link by the end of Wednesday, October 24. Then I will put together a round-up post on Friday, October 26 with links to all of the Day in the Life posts so we can stalk each other.


The Usual Fine Print
  • Pick a day between now and Wednesday, October 24 and take pictures all the live-long day. You might want to keep notes of what goes down so you don't forget later on when typing up the post. I often will take pictures that I know I won't use, but will serve as a reminder of what was happening.
  • Make sure to include pictures of YOU during the day, even if that means mirror self-portraits (turn the flash off!) or using that good old timer. And don't forget to include pictures of the mundane - your make-up on the bathroom counter, the messy office desk, your lunch, what you bought at Target, a note your spouse scribbled for you. That's part of what makes it so interesting.
  • It's up to you how detail-oriented you want to be. I go detailed, but there is no need for you to do the same. 
  • This is not just for the mommy blogger set. I actually prefer it to be a mix of people in all different sorts of lives. And please, please, please play along if you live outside the US & Canada! I heart you, foreigners.
  • You will need to have your Day in the Life post published on your blog by Wednesday, October 24 and you need to email me when you are finished: navigatingthemothership@gmail.com I will publish the round-up post on Monday, August 13.
