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 36 Year 2

Week 36 Year 2

It's our 4th proper Wednesday together and I am really loving this one on one time with you. And it's also really great for me too, to be able to have some me time during the day while you sleep. I have even been able to breathe new life into my meditation practice. It's not every day like it used to be before I became a mother but at least I get to do it consistently once a week.

I jumped out of bed and went downstairs so that we could begin our dinosaur egg hatching. You love baby dinosaurs more than anything and were so excited, you loved guessing which dinosaur it was going to be to hatch. Then you would carefully place them into their bowl nest to rest while some of the other babies helped the others hatch.

It was a crazy long day! We headed to London so I could collect my passport & then followed by a trip to the Natural History Museum so that you could get your Dino fix and where I had one of the scariest moments of my life where I thought I had lost you! And on the way home we had car problems and spent a lot of time at service stations which made it so that we didn't get home until close to 1am!
