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 105: More cooking over a fire

The theme of our Camp Fire trip was developing outdoor skills, so the kids learned to use penknives to whittle, to tie knots and to pace out a camp site. We also went for a beautiful hike this afternoon. The highlight for me was learning how to build a fire and cook a foil-parcel meal. Johnny and Daniel are fussy eaters but are also passionate about cooking so this was a great experience for them. Unfortunately most of our group's meals got burned and were largely inedible (lessons were learned!) - I was fortunate enough that my foil-parcel meal was cooked nearly perfectly and was absolutely delicious.
