Project 365.

I know its not January 1st, this is a little late coming. But I decided at the start of this year to do Project 365. A photo a day for the entire year. Its a big undertaking! Previous attempts at Photo A Day challenges have been a failure. But this year is different.

This year I was inspired by another blogging mumma Documenting Delight. (my all time favourite blog at the moment) Last year a group of mums took part in a 365 challenge to document the delight in their lives. During the year one of the mothers was killed in a tragic accident, 33 weeks pregnant her unborn child died with her. She left behind a little girl. I cried, sobbed even when i read this story. I looked at her blog of photos of her daughter and thought what a blessing those photos would be to that little girl when she was older. A document of the delight her mother found in her every single day. A testament to how much she was loved. And its not that I think anything is going to happen to me or anything dramatic like that, just something nice to put away for my girls (I am going to turn it into a book at the end of the year).

So I started my photo collection on Jan 1st. Mostly iphoneography, some DSLR, and its become a little way to capture things in this moment with my children. Some are just day to day activities. But other photos capture something that I want to cherish. Its evolved. So to go with it I am going to try my hand at a blog to accompany the photos. Im going to write as if noone is reading, although that theory in itself is flawed as the reason I stopped writing was because I found it so hard to write without thinking about what the reader is thinking about as they read what im writing.... confused? Yes me too. I will blog from the 1st of Jan to catch up to today! But for now here is a picture of the face behind the blog, and my little family. xx
