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 185: The Changing of the Guard


We had a terrific, touristy day in London today: walking and a picnic in St James' Park; viewing Buckingham Palace, Downing Street, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament; a wonderful 90 minutes in the National Gallery enjoying the paintings. But the highlight was watching the changing of the guard at Horseguards Parade. The kids all loved it, but it made the biggest impression on Anna, who is considering abandoning her long cherished plan to be a deep sea diver/ballet teacher/long haul trucker, in favor of the new career path of becoming a member of the Household Cavalry.

    Has she discussed her plans with Ben though? I've never seen any women horseguards. Are there any? Sounds like a great time in Westminster.
