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 60: Multi-cultural night

We LOVE our school and Multicultural Night is a highlight of the school year, an opportunity to honor and celebrate the many cultures represented at our school (17 different languages are spoken by our families). Families bring in a dish to share and there was an amazing spread this evening of delicious food from countries as diverse as Mexico, El Salvador, Holland, Portugal, Vietnam, Laos and Korea (and many more). I baked my grandmother's sticky toffee pudding, a firm favorite in our family, and in this picture Anna and her friend Charlotte are pouring the toffee sauce over the individual portions of pudding before the crowds arrived to eat.
