Welcome to the Annual “A Day In The Life Of…” Link-Up!
In 2007 I was a wife with no children, working a full time office job, and my latest toy was a new digtital camera. Inspired by my new camera, I decided to document a day in my life through photography.
For one day on January 18, 2007 I carried my camera everywhere and I took one photograph each hour. My goal was to capture a picture every hour that would represent whatever I was doing at that moment.
Looking back, it is interesting to see how nearly everything in my life has changed – my job, my house, my family, and even the TV show I was watching that day is now off the air!
In 2010 I decided it was time to do another “Day in the Life of…” project and the annual link-up was born! Sometime during the month of January, pick a day to take your pictures, and then come back during the first week of February to join the link-up. (The actual link-up date may change from year to year. The 2012 link up will happen on Monday, February 6th.)
How it Works:
- Pick a day and then start when you wake up & stop when you go to bed.
- Set a timer to remind you to take a photograph each hour. I like to set the alarm on my cell phone to go off each hour.
- Don’t stress out about the artistic quality of the pictures. Even the simpliest snap shots will create an interesting docuemntation of your day.
- Post your pictures on your blog and come back to SimplyRebekah.com during the first week of February to share your link with everyone! The 2012 link-up will go live on February 6th.
- Share the link to your actual post and not your homepage.
- Link back to the “A Day in the Life of…” link-up in your post so others can enjoy looking through all the different days.
- Feel free to grab an “A Day in the Life of…” button to use on your blog or in you posts!
This isn’t just for stay-at-home-moms! You don’t even need to be a woman! 
The fun is in seeing a glimps into a variety of different lives.
Need some Inspiration?
Pick a day, get out your camera & get ready to link up in February! I can’t wait to see how different all of our days are!
I love this!!! What a fabulous idea. I am going to bookmark this and put it on my calender so I can hopefully join in the fun! I will spread the word. Thank you so much! Blessings!
I look forward to seeing your day!
