This is my personal project and one that is very close to my heart: Photographing one whole day in my life, it began a few years ago on Monday Jan 1, 2018 when I did 1 day a week switching days each week which I did for two years and then for year three I only did them for each full moon and changed the format of them. Now I'm in my fourth year of doing this project, I began with the intention of doing them weekly but that hasn't been happening so I'm doing them whenever it feels right up until I reach Week 52 but still focusing on our weekends or when we are all together and have returned to my original way of doing them which is choosing 25 images for the day. Hope you enjoy following along!
Week 52 Year 2
The day went by really fast and even though we didn’t do anything spectacular it was such a great day. Everyone was getting along and all I felt was an overflowing of love all day long. These kinds of days no matter what we are doing will always be my favourite.
Week 51 Year 2
As soon as I got back you were ready with your basket. We were on a mission to pick dandelions so that we could make some dandelion bread. We thought the idea of making bread with dandelions was very exciting and so did others who we passed on our walk who were intrigued by our basket full of dandelions.
Week 50 Year 2
We decided to go on a walk to our little beach and you wanted to ride your bike...You had always said you weren't going to take your stabilisers off until you are all grown up, until you are twenty but for some amazing reason you wanted to try without them and you did amazingly!! It made me all emotional, and the tears began to flow.
Week 48 Year 2
Things seem to be changing so fast in our world at the moment and everything is feeling more and more surreal. Since last week things have escalated so quickly with this whole coronavirus epidemic....We headed to our special place in the woods today, it’s our magic place and always makes everything better...
Week 47 Year 2
On our way to our beach you rode your scooter and were being so sweet singing your little heart out to Spirit Riding Free, you told me that doing so gives you power. You are so incredibly excited for spring and keep shouting “Look, Signs of spring everywhere!!!
Week 46 Year 2
Nixie, you were poorly yesterday and we weren't sure if we were going to take you to forest school but you seemed much better this morning so we decided to take you. Forrest, you on the other hand was still pretty poorly, we started off the morning with trying to get you to breathe in some oils that we had put on a tissue to help you clear your chest a little but you just thought we were being strange.
Week 45 Year 2
We left the house just before 9:00 and we arrived early enough at the station to hop on the train when it goes to Lymington pier and back and the two of you had lots of fun running around. Once we got to brockenhurst we changed trains and about 15 min later we arrived at our destination: Christchurch
Week 44 Year 2
I had a shower and when I was standing in front of the mirror you were fascinated by my lopsided boobs and wouldn't stop jiggling the bigger one! It's a good three or four times bigger. You said, "it was like a trampoline. And so fat and big!" When we came downstairs you surprised me by wanting some boob and Forrest wasn't impressed!
Week 40 Year 2
While Forrest slept you (Nixie) me and daddy finally got to dissect our owl pellets! You were so excited about it and couldn't wait although at first you were a bit scared and just wanted to watch but then you got brave and really got into it.
Week 39 Year 2
It’s our third year coming to Stonehenge for the Solstice and there’s always such a magical feeling in the air walking towards them in the dark. I had goosebumps and felt a little emotional, I felt a deep sense of peace and was surrounded by such beautiful energies. When we arrived at the stones we laid out our blanket and had a little picnic.
Week 38 Year 2
After Forrest woke up we had lunch and then got ready to go visit some of our favourite people: Elina, Levana & Zoryan. You, Nixie were so excited to see them, and seeing all of our babies together always makes me emotional, I can't believe it was just over a year ago that little Zoryan was born. You and Levana played with her babies...
Week 37 Year 2
Then we all had fun watching you (Forrest) practise your walking. You are getting better and better at it everyday and today you managed a whole twelve steps in a row! You really love it and have such an excited look on your face & Nixie kept getting you to laugh and you loved walking towards her outstretched arms and she's overflowing with such pride!
