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 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 42 Year 2
My plan with you having a nap so I could write before we went out to meet friends didn't work out at all as you had no intention of sleeping whatsoever. We headed out a bit early so we could stop by the shop and Gregg's for vegan sausage rolls which you absolutely love ...
Week 14 Year 2
It was a pretty good day we spent the morning in the garden creating and then went on a walk to some woods close by to visit the sand hills. Afterwards we hung out at home before heading back out to run some errands.
Week 13 Year 2
After running some errands, it was one of those lazy days at home creating and baking and if I wasn't trying to get Forrest to sleep I was trying to keep both of you happy. It was a day of trying to find the balance.
Week 12 Year 2
It was such a great day! Everything flowed so beautifully and we spent the morning with friends at Goodalls Strawberry Farm and you scooted the whole way and the rest of the day was spent reading and doing crafts. It was one of those days where at the end I felt so fulfilled.
Week 9 Year 2
You and I were jarring a bit, and you were doing lots of things you weren't supposed to do (it’s because you didn't get enough sleep, you stayed up way too late to be getting up so early, you always get like this when that’s the case!) and my patience felt a bit thin but luckily it wasn’t very long lived and you and I had a little do-over and all was well after that....well for a little bit!
Week 4 Year 2
...Afterwards we went for a little walk to the quay for ice cream and to feed the birds but because it started to rain we had an unexpected stop at Costa for a coffee for us and a hot chocolate for you. The rain finally stopped so we continued on our way to the ice cream shop and then to find a bench to sit on. Forrest started stirring and needed to nurse so I didn't really get to hang out with you and daddy (you didn't want to sit by me and wanted to explore instead).
Week 3 Year 2
Today was one of those days that leaves you feeling drained. It was especially hard to photograph for this project because I barely moved away from the couch and I felt a bit like a milk machine. It was a day of soothing a hurting Forrest who cried the most he's ever cried and at the same time trying to block hits and bites from a sad and angry Nixie. We also said our final goodbyes to our car, DeeDee
Week 2 Year 2
After another night of being up a lot with a snotty nosed Forrest we all made it downstairs just after 6:00, missing daddy by just a few minutes. While making porridge for us you (Nixie) kept running excitedly into the kitchen exclaiming "Forrest talked to me!" I asked you what he said and you replied, "he said daddy and he also said his first thing that there was no more popcorn and how he really wants some even though he only has booby"
