A new film by me: 1 second a day.

 A while back I realized how desperately I missed making little films with my Nikon. My photography has definitely changed with the times, and although I still think the quality of a DSLR camera is superior to a phone camera, I definitely use my phone camera on the regular now.  It just fits with my season and pace of life a lot better than always lugging my Nikon around. However, I used to make little films with my Nikon and spend hours editing them in iMovie. I found myself missing this, but knowing realistically I just didn't have the time like I used to for this. 

I started searching around for a movie making app and came across the 1 Second a Day app. There are a couple of these apps around, all pretty similar as far as I can tell. I used the app long enough to fall in love with it and to then purchase the year subscription. I think it was around $20 or $25. Totally worth it to me. 

I'm still somewhat new at this and later on might spend more time looking into synching the music with the video a bit more or pairing the video with a song that has lyrics. For now though as I've jumped into this whole film making thing again in a MUCH fuller season of life than I've ever been in, this little film is a huge piece of my heart. 

I hope you'll enjoy watching and be inspired to not only make your own movie, but see the world around you with fresh eyes.

    My daughter did the one second a day app for her daughter's first year of life a few years ago. So much fun to watch and relive those little snippets of time. Loved yours so much. Show more when you are able.

Welcome to Room for the Rosy: a new blog.

  Hi there and welcome to my third blog. I've been on a six month break from The Rosy Life blog, for no particular reason than it just felt time to let it go.  A few weeks ago I started noticing a prompting to honor "the many sides of Sara" (yes, I sometimes talk to myself like this!) and so I began picking up my camera and being more intentional with it again. I've certainly taken tons of photos over the past six months and have never for a single day forgotten to notice at least one beautiful or interesting thing or sliver of light.  But this prompting felt different. I surprised myself by having the recurring thought that maybe I'd want to start blogging again?....... So I will and am, starting blogging again.  The name and reason for an entirely new blog comes from one season of life gently folding into another. My first blog was called "Torbett To Be" and chronicled the time frame from my engagement until our oldest daughter was around six months ol

Daily joys lately.

Good morning everyone! Are you well? Are you hanging in the December rush? It feels like a rush to me at least. I've tried to turn the month of December over in my mind and look at it from different angles to see how to get it to NOT feel so crammed full with to do's and I haven't figured it out yet.  It's partly because we have two family birthdays this time of year, along with the holidays. Of course these are joyous occasions and something we look forward to, as are the holidays! My brain just has a lot of tabs open and is needing the creator and scheduler in me to be on more than I sometimes feel like they've been filled up with new ideas. I suppose I should mention I've had the c word sickness and it is really taking some time for me to feel back to normal. So, deep breaths and focusing on what I CAN do and collecting the joy that's just sitting there waiting are huge game changers. I know this to be very, very true.  Also, grace for needing to rest or

Getting into the swing of summer, one good thing at a time.

Hi everybody! I hope you are feeling the good side of life this summer. It took me a day or two to process that summer is here. During the school year I am extremely disciplined with my time and chores 24/7 and it works for us and helps our life as a family function and thrive.  So at the start of summer I felt a bit weird about letting my focus shift towards a more relaxed setting, each day's schedule being different than the last, and me not watching the clock every hour like it's my job.  You know, time to do a craft, clean out the closet, or get in the kitchen and actually cook. It only took me a few days to wake up and realize though that summer will be over in a flash. It just really will.  So I'd better hurry up and enjoy this new pace while it lasts because August will be here so very soon.  The last 4 or 5 summers I've either been worrying over my job and if we would have enough numbers for me to work full time or in grad school or both.  All that to say, it ha
