With inspiration from my dear sister-in-law, Rachel, I embark on this adventure - capturing an image every day for a year both to have for myself and to share with you. My hope is that through this effort, I will "keep peace in the noisy confusion of life" - taking time to notice the small things, celebrate the big things, and more fully appreciate the gift of each new day. Of course, I had every intention of beginning this on January 1st - but when that day came and went without a blog, Rachel assured me that this project can begin on any day. After a slow start, I really hope I can pull it off - and that you'll enjoy it!

Day 144 - June 1: Swedish Fish

Teachers in Medfield (and perhaps elsewhere) seem to spend the year thinking of projects for their students to do - and then assign all of them during the final few weeks.  Needless to say, life has been hectic in the Whitla house.  Today Stuart completed his "Country Cereal Box" for social studies.  It's the culmination of all he has learned about Sweden, with all sides, save the front, highlighting interesting facts and figures about the country.  The front boasts a catchy name and jingle, along with a bowl of "Swedish Stuff".  Good fun, but I was glad to check it off the list.
