Photo An Hour // Shopping in Ohio

While visiting Ohio I decided to do a photo an hour post. I photographed a few different days, but decided that the photos below were my favorite. I took the photos on March 27th. It was a day that I spent with my close friend Cam. He knows I love to shop while in Ohio because there is such a great variety of places to go. He is patience with me and lets me take my time looking. He is the perfect shopping buddy. The weather wasn't quite warm enough to do any outdoor activities so this worked out for us. It gave us time to talk and catch up as well.



9AM - I found it hard to get up early while on vacation. Keeping up with the blog was really hard as well!
10AM - Heading out to go shopping all day. The sky looked so pretty.



11AM - There is a huge Goodwill in Ohio that I love going to. Sadly I bought nothing at all. Craziness!
12PM - It wasn't till I did this post that I realized we actually did not eat all day. Only had Starbucks. Oops.



1PM - I was in search of heart shaped sunglasses at the mall. Had no luck, but tried on silly glasses anyways! :)
2PM - Went to my favorite shoe store in town. I didn't buy the Converse because they were just one size too big. Bummer!



3PM - At TJ Maxx in the dressing room. Tried on 3 dresses and none of them fit. I was having a ruff shopping day.
4PM - Only thing I bought all day: Heart Shaped Sunglasses! YAY!



5PM - Went home for dinner! Finally ate something.
6PM - Headed back out to shop some more to the Cincinnati outlet store.



7PM - Only place I spent money all day, the Disney Outlet Store.
8PM - At home relaxing and watching the Big Bang Theory.



9PM - Tea Time :)
10PM - Chloe said it was time for bed! I was so tired from running around all day long.

While in Ohio I didn't do tons of shopping. When I did I had no luck at all. It seems to be getting harder and harder for me to find things that fit. Also the weather was still really chilly keeping us from doing a lot of the things that we had hoped to do.

Did you notice the reusable Starbucks cup? They are selling them at the stores right now for only $1! I was super excited. Some of you may wonder how I did with my coffee drinking while I was on vacation. I actually did really well. Since I was on vacation I didn't stress over it. I still only had one cup in the morning. The few days that I did go out shopping I would let myself get it. It was a treat. I am currently back to one cup of coffee in the morning but hope to switch to only tea.

Photo An Hour // Early Sunday & Biking

This is my first Photo An Hour post. In the past I had tried to do it and found my photos too boring. I decided to take these photos over the weekend when I knew we would actually be out and about. I love when blogger's do these posts. I enjoy peeking into their daily lives. I actually did this post because EM from Emma Deer hinted at me doing one. Thanks EM for the motivation! Here is how I spent Sunday March 3, 2013...


6AM - Yes, I get up early even on the weekends. 6AM is actually "sleeping in" for me. I love Sponge Bob!
7AM - I love catching up on my blog reading using the BlogLovin' ap on my phone!
8AM - Eating some Shredded Wheats with fresh blue berries and vanilla soy milk! YUM!

9AM - We decided to drive to Ft. Collins, Colorado to ride our bikes. Warmer weather and less wind there.
10AM - Stitch (my iPhone) in my back pocket in my cycling jersey. Ready to hop on the bike!
11AM - Cycling on the trail. It's so hard to take photos with your phone while you are peddling!

12PM - We treated ourselves to Starbucks. It had been a few months since we had it.
1PM - Dragged Cody to the Thrift Store. What a good husband he is!
2PM - Stopped at our favorite bike shop. Cody got a new helmet and drooled over all the bikes that we can't afford.

3PM - After no luck at the thrift store, we headed to Plato's Closet. A second hand store with a great selection.
4PM - Back in Wyoming.
5PM - Dinner time. Vegan Sloppy Joes. (Recipe to come some time in the future.)
6PM - Tea time.
7PM - Sunday is Walking Dead night! YES!!!! Only a few more episodes. :(
8PM - So tired. Time for bed.
I loved doing this. I guess once I had the motivation to do it I didn't find it as hard to pull off. I love holding on to memories from ordinary days. I hope to do more of these posts. Defiantly when I am on my trip visiting family and friends in Ohio. Not everyday is as fun or exciting as this one was. If I did a typically work day I am pretty sure I would get in trouble for having my phone out taking photos. HA! Also, some days I blog for 3 - 4 hours. This was really fun and now I know why so many bloggers do it. Not an original post, but oh well. I am pretty excited about doing them!

Have you ever attempted a photo an hour post?
