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!
Flower Moon~ May~ Year Three
This marks the last entry to another year of this project and what an incredible day we had! It was the start of a mini family holiday after over 20 months of not having stayed anywhere else but home. This is also my entry for Artefact Motherhood a project shared with other international female artists who are documenting our journeys as mothers and creating memories for our children through our photographs and words.
Pink Moon~ April~ Year Three
This is the first time since I've started this full moon diml project where I missed doing it on the actual full moon and am a few days late. It's been such a full on month and if I'm honest I have felt emotionally and mentally drained and just in survival mode.
Worm Moon~ March~ Year Three
Today was one of those days where we didn't really get up to anything overly exciting. Just a few outings to free a frog, to get some plants at the garden centre, some baking and some gardening and lots and lots of lounging around!
Snow Moon~ February~ Year Three
At one point you (Forrest) wanted boob again and climbed on top of me so I just laid down on the earth and just enjoyed a bit of forest bathing. I felt so at peace. All my worries from earlier in the day just seemed to seep out of me. It was a beautiful 10 minutes that I didn't want to end.
Wolf Moon~ January~ Year Three
What brilliant day we had! It was a day of being creative, having adventures and even finding our first frogspawn of the year! This is also my entry for Artefact Motherhood a project shared with other international female artists who are documenting our journeys as mothers and creating memories for our children through our photographs and words.
Cold Moon~December~ Year Three
Today was all about nourishing ourselves. Our minds, our bodies, our spirits and our souls. We headed to Milford on sea to go for a walk by the sea and what a gorgeous morning it was, the sun came out and was shining down on us and it felt so incredibly blissful. You and Forrest had fun throwing stones into the sea. I had fun taking some photos of the sea and enjoyed some moments of just being able to listen to the waves. I love how soothing the sea can be. It's always exactly what I need it to be.
Beaver Moon~ November~ Year Three
Our day started with an early morning outing to the heathland but then we ended up having a cosy day at home. We made some moon spell cookies and added some cinnamon to one batch for success and love and orange peel to another batch for joy and good luck...
Hunter's Moon~ October~ Year Three
Today was a spectacular day! It was Samhain and also special surprise birthday celebrations! This is also my entry for Artefact Motherhood a project shared with other international female artists who are documenting our journeys as mothers and creating memories for our children through our photographs and words.
Sturgeon Moon~ August~Year Three
Nixie had forest school which meant me and daddy got to have some one on one time with Forrest. We ended up going on a beautiful walk amongst the heath-land and once Nixie was back with us we ended up having an impromptu play in one of the streams while we released some more of our frogs.
Buck Moon~ July~Year Three
This was a beautiful day. We had a relaxed day at home working on projects and then we headed for an evening adventure where everyone got covered in the smelliest of mud! This is also my entry for Artefact Motherhood a project shared with other international female artists who are documenting our journeys as mothers and creating memories for our children through our photographs and words.
Strawberry Moon~June~Year Three
This marks the first entry for year three! This time I'm doing them every full moon and this day of the full moon was an emotional one but a day where so many memories were made. Both happy ones and sad ones. We spent time in the forest and had magical experiences but Forrest also got hurt which shook us up (luckily he was OK) but we also spent a beautiful evening by the sea.
