29 Must Have Photos Of Your Baby

Anyone who knows me, knows I like to take photos. Well I would say that need to take photos has just been heightened since having a baby. I love to pull out the DSLR to capture those cute moments, but it's not always possible, so I have plenty I've just taken on my smart phone. One of my 40 things to do before I'm 40 is to complete a photography project. No doubt I will do more than 1 before then, but I had a post pinned to pinterest for some time and I thought, why not see if I could complete this. Funnily enough also on my list of 40 things is to complete 10 more pins on pinterest. Seems perfect, RIGHT?

This is a list of 29 Photos Every Parent Must Get Of Their Baby. Lets see how well I've done to complete this. I might have to grab the camera to complete the list, although that boy of mine is looking less and less like a baby and more like a cute little toddler these days.

Some of these photos you'll see I've taken the time to compose and take with my Canon, while others I've snapped on my iPhone, but each has a special meaning to me and has captured a moment not to be forgotten.

Halloween Fun

I've never really done much for Halloween, apart from a couple of times decorating the house for my nieces to come over and last year I turned my pregnant belly into a pumpkin. But now I have a family of my own I thought it might be nice to start some family traditions around Halloween. As one of my 40 things to do before I'm 40 list is to create some family traditions I wanted to blog and vlog about what we got up to. There are a few decorations in the home, we went to a trunk and treat and went pumpkin picking.

Here are some photos from our Halloween weekend. If you'd like to see the vlog from our Halloween weekend of fun, click this link: https://youtu.be/Do2EB5tzJU8

40 Things To Do Before I'm 40 - List

It's taken me a little while to get this list together, but its here. It was a lot harder to put together than I thought it would be and a little scary to put it out there.  I feel that putting it out there for everyone to see means I will have some how failed if I don't complete it. And I also wish I'd done this list a while ago, maybe even a few years ago. But I will do the best I can, having fun on the way, and if I don't complete something that's OK. I already know that some of these items are going to be extremely hard to complete and at the moment I can't see a way of making them happen. But I wanted to add them anyway, its not a bad thing to have a challenge.

40 Things to do Before I'm 40

I'm not particularly excited about this fact or thrilled that people know, but it's a fact of life, each year we get older! This time next year it will be just a few days till I'll be celebrating my 40th birthday. I could get down about it or embrace it, so I'm choosing the latter. And let's face it I have plenty of memories and experiences that say I'm worthy of those 40 years.
