The final day of the week in our life. Although I still love this project, I am worn out by the end of it and somewhat happy to wrap it up for another year. 6:48am // I woke up this morning feeling worse than I did yesterday. When I’m sick with a head cold, I… Read More
Today’s schedule of events was hectic. And when I woke up, the cold that had been lingering for the last few days had finally taken hold and I was so tempted to cancel all plans and just rest. But I pushed on and got through it. 7:55am // The nights are definitely getting colder now… Read More
5:48am // Jack has been pretty well sleeping right through the night this last week. But he is waking up a fair bit earlier than I would like. Once or twice I tried leaving him in his room until 7:30am but that just ended with a tired and cranky baby for the rest of the… Read More
Just about halfway through this intense documentation of our lives and I am still loving capturing the little details that make up our days. Some things the same, some things different. I’m also loving the opportunity to use my big camera and have rediscovered some long-forgotten lenses. I really need to work on my skills… Read More
Today I’m capturing some of the details of our home. In all their messy and a little bit chaotic glory. The Laundry // The case of Heineken that doesn’t really belong here but doesn’t have anywhere else to go. The baby bath that is no longer needed but I’m not quite sure what to… Read More
6:20am // I’ve been enjoying my little “sleep-ins” while Lee has been off work. Ordinarily his alarm would go off at 4:50am which meant I was awake from that time as well, and I usually got up with my own alarm at 5:30am. But with him at home I’ve got my alarm set for… Read More
This is the third year I’ve worked on a Week in the Life project. This year I decided to do it a little later than everyone else just because life was way too hectic. I neither needed nor wanted the additional pressure and work that this project requires at that time. I also liked the… Read More
I have my first exam at 8:30am this morning. I’m up earlier than everyone else (as usual) and using the time to drink my coffee and go over my study notes. On my way to uni for my exam – Guiding Children’s Behaviour. The irony is not lost on me as this is something I… Read More
When Violet walked into the living area this morning with her “crunchy muesli” she declared that it was too bright and asked to wear her sunglasses. This kid, she kills me sometimes. Breakfast prep. Violet gets her first because hunger = hanger for this little girl. Today she’s chosen cornflakes with banana (of course). And… Read More
Hey lady, You’re struggling right now. Things are way more difficult that you thought they would be at this point and you’re not really coping all that well. That’s ok. You’ve got a lot going on and it’s hard. It’s hard feeling like no one is really listening when you try to talk about… Read More
