A favorite childhood memory of mine is of my mother whipping up a batch of scones late on a Sunday afternoon for our Sunday tea. The children's school had a multicultural night this evening and families were invited to bring a dish from their culture to share, so Noah and I made scones. Anna's class was asked what languages they spoke at home - Anna's classmates speak Spanish, Vietnamese, Hmong and Russian - and Anna informed the teacher (and insisted it be part of the poster they were making) that she speaks British at home...
Inspired by my dear friend Allison, I took up the challenge to take a photo each day in 2011 to document my life. I embarked on this with some trepidation (I was not sure I would remember to take a picture every day), and with some curiosity: I didn't have a plan for this project and I was excited to see how it would evolve. What would my life look like, day by day, throughout one year?
Well, one year on, I am addicted to this project. I already took a lot of photos of my children but I have loved the way the 365 challenge has disciplined me to think about and appreciate EVERY SINGLE day - and the precious moments in every day that in the past have flown by unnoticed... I am thrilled to continue with this blog in 2012 - although it really should be retitled: Day by Day 366! Looking forward to a new year...
