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...

Day 50: A job well done


I love having a clean house but with four kids and a dog and our crazy schedule, I am not as good as I should be at keeping things tidy. I have to confess that this is the first time the island in my kitchen has been completely clear since Anna's birthday party - a month ago - oops! But there is nothing like imminently arriving guests to get me motivated about housework. Today I hosted a baby shower for a lovely lady from church, so with a number of people coming over, the whole family worked really hard at cleaning the house this morning and the results were great. Here is my very presentable island - and note in the background, Anna and Johnny dusting the piano.

    Rachel you made this day so special! So glad the flowers touched up your island for a little while. Christy does such a great job with flowers and your picture really is beautiful with both children in the background! Thanks for including me today!
