Day 9 ~ Love Thursday (on Wednesday)


, originally uploaded by benzismama.

I like this picture because sometimes love is hidden in the briars.

ETA: It's WEDNESDAY. It's been Thursday all day long in my head. Oh well. Tomorrow I'll just have to conjure up more love.

It only took me 5 days to break my own rules. It was one of those days. I only picked up my camera once and this is what I got.

Day 4: Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

Gluten free peanut butter cookies

This recipe is all over the gluten free community. Must be good, right? Not so much! Mine tasted a whole lot like peanut butter sand.
So why am I adding them to my Goodness 2009 project? Because Ben and I had so much fun making them. He was a huge helper and doesn't seem to mind eating them.

Project: Goodness in 2009.

So there's this very popular photography project that has been floating around the web for some time now call 365. It's a commitment to take and post a photo a day for a year. To me, that's a really big bite to chew.
I'm taking on something a little less involved in an attempt to get my creative motor running. My photography has taken a back seat to my real life for many months now, so it's time to get this show on the road.
The idea is to post a picture a day of things that bring goodness to my life right now. New pictures only. I'm also throwing in the rule that pics of my children are fine, but I must also post another nonchild pic on those days. I could follow my kids around with my camera all day, but that's not really stretching my creative legs, now is it?
40 days seems like a reasonable goal. We'll see how it goes.

Day One



Behold, the green smoothie! So much tastier than it looks and one of the most nutritious things you can put in your body. Read more about green smoothies at Green Smoothie Girl or Happy Foody.
Sara, at Happy Foody got me drinking these last year and Ben and I just fell in love with them. We got out of the habit in recent months, but I'm back to making one for us every day. Good stuff!
