For many, today is the first day back to work and school after the fun of the holiday season. It is back to regular daily routines. We often feel burdened by daily routines, but deep down they create comfort and stability for us. The most important part of photographing every day is to capture those things that truly are part of our everyday, to document the sacred in the mundane.

That first cup of coffee, packing lunches, feeding the animals, commuting to work, fixing dinner, storytime, your bedtime ritual - all of these things make your life yours. Be sure to include them in your everyday project.

What part of my daily routine most keeps me grounded?
