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 216: Shopping with my dad


It poured with rain all day today which was absolutely fine, because for the first time this vacation we had nothing planned. We had a lovely, lazy day: reading, playing scrabble, writing the last few post cards, starting a puzzle. My parents are both great shoppers and I got to go on two shopping trips this afternoon. Firstly, I went out with my mum, with whom it is great fun to go clothes/craft supplies shopping (I resisted the clothes but not the craft supplies - sorry David!) and secondly, I went out with my dad, who is the greatest grocery shopper ever.

    I just knew that you would love that craft shop when you got round to visiting it! :) What did you get?

    You were right! It is amazing! I got a couple of cross stitch kits for me and a couple for Anna, some mosaic kits for the kids and a jigsaw puzzle. Was tempted by a lot of other things too!
