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 30: Lego Giraffe

On Saturday afternoon, after a very fun sleepover party that didn't involve much sleep for anyone in the house, I asked the birthday boy what he would most like to do. "What I would really like, mum, is for you to build lego with me." How could I refuse such a request? So after a 25 year hiatus, I spent a Saturday afternoon on the floor with a pile of lego and all four kids and I built things. This giraffe was my special project.
