Welcome to Life Captured. I’m thrilled to report that the daily photo challenge has officially unlocked a new routine for me. Taking a picture a day has transitioned from a task into a habit that I genuinely look forward to. It keeps me mindful and creative, as I’m always looking for that one special moment to capture. It’s incredibly fun to see where the day takes me and what that final picture will turn out to be. Here is a glimpse into my latest seven days and seven snaps!

If you haven’t already guessed, I’m not much of a cook. It’s not that I can’t cook, it’s just that my food never turns out very good. But recently, I noticed Lidia’s cookbook sitting in our kitchen. I flipped through it and found a really easy recipe I’m excited to try. Kevin and I actually went to one of her restaurants in Kansas City a while back. Lidia was even there in person and signed this copy for me.

The school district I drive for does not have a dedicated bus barn. Instead we have several different sheds for specific items. The local diesel repair shop and MidWest Bus maintains the mechanical needs. Well, this shed is needing some attention.

This image taken on a family vacation to Florida, popped up as a Google memory today. We went to Disney World three nights and then rented a beach house for our last two nights. The beach was gorgeous.

Today I was able to drive a class to a nearby town for a Halloween dance. This was one of the treats. 🎃

This was my morning view from the bus. The sunrise never disappoints.

Drove the high school cross country team to the sub state meet.

It was ideal running weather outside today. It stayed cool under the trees, but felt comfortably warm out in the open sun.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by Life Captured and look through my latest week of picture journaling! Waking up every day to find that one perfect moment has become such a rewarding routine, and now that it is officially a habit, sharing it with you makes it even better. I can’t wait to see what unexpected stories the next seven days will bring. I’m so glad to have you along for this creative journey, and I look forward to seeing you right back here next week for the next round of snaps!

Yesterday is today’s memory.
Be sure to capture your memory today!
All the best,.
