I am so excited to finally be able to share with you the album I made using Curated, the album kit I designed with Danielle of Kitschy Digitals.My album is a collection of random minutes captured throughout 2010. Ever since I read, The Most Meaningful Moment of My Day (via Real Simple), I have been wanting to explore the idea of documenting the small daily things, our routines and rituals, using the exact time of capture as a writing prompt.

I am really thrilled with the way the album turned out. In the end, I didn’t pin down one most meaningful moment. I got something more. It surprised me how quickly our daily routines changed over the course of the year. I’d forgotten how leisurely and quiet our mornings were at the beginning of the year when Audrey and I would start the morning together in the kitchen, her eating breakfast and watching sesame street while I drank coffee and went through emails, both of us taking our time waking up and getting acclimated to the day. Shortly after that, Madeline dropped her morning nap and our am routine changed. Then Madeline started crawling, then walking, and then Audrey started school, and each time our am routine changed, and changed, and changed again.
