For a second year, I’ve been using the 1 Second Everyday app to document our lives. Although I’ve documented a lot of my years with daily photo projects, it got a lot harder to keep up once Ben and Jojo were part of our lives… while also being more important than ever to capture these fleeting moments. I could not love this project more, and seeing these little tidbits brings so much joy. 2017 and the first half of 2018 were more difficult than anything I’ve ever faced, and this project has made it so much easier to really SEE how very much there is to be grateful for, even when things feel so dark. It sort of kills me to see how little the kids are in the first half of this video (don’t even get me started on 2017’s video!) but it’s just so mindblowing how much they’ve grown and learned and blossomed this year. I can’t wait to keep going with this in 2019.
I am so excited to finally have a whole year’s worth but it wouldn’t mash my second together! I tried a couple times and just didn’t seem to do it. I’m heartened to see that yours worked and will keep trying. My kids are a lot older-if I was watching a year’s worth of changes in 6 minutes when they were tiny it would for sure make me weepy!!
