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 128: Mother's Day gift

In addition to five cubic yards of soil for my raised beds, the other part of my Mother's Day gift was the labor it took to fill them. My boys worked so hard all afternoon (Anna did too, but I didn't get a picture with all five of them shoveling dirt at the same time). The beds are not quite done yet but they'll be ready to plant soon. I also was given some lovely treats from The Body Shop - I feel very appreciated. This Mother's Day, I've been particularly reflecting on how fortunate I am to be a mother - what a privilege...
