This blog started as a week-by-week look at our lives in 2010 (hence the address) in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Now, with the closing of my other blog, from-russia, I've decided to extend this blog to cover 2011 as well (despite the address--which really bugs me now that it's inaccurate).

week one


The first week of 2010 had already ended by the time I started this challenge. Photographic choices, then, had to be made from pictures already taken. That left us with either my gorgeous daughter or photos of this ilk. Since I'm sure I'll resort to pictures of that imp of mine soon enough, you get this.

This is my attempt to organize toys after Christmas. I photographed all of her toys in their bins and will stick those laminated photos on the outside of each bin. I'm hoping this will not so much aid in tidying up but will serve as a reminder of all the playing options that we have neatly tucked away.

  3. Love the idea! Kudos to you! I'm inspire to try it, as I take so many photos. Might be a great way to look back on the year.

    Also liked your first photo - Dan's a big train dude, and asked who owned them. Visual labels are great - did that with my kids, too.

  9. Kate, I love this picture-a-week blog idea and I hope you don't mind if I copy your idea ;) I don't like the word 'copy'...how about - what a fabulous idea to post a picture a week. I think I might just have to try and do the same ;)
