    November Photo A Day Challenge: Days 10~15 {In the Dark Room}

    Day 10: Book When I moved out on my own, I took three things from my parents’ home: a few books, a chess set, and a doll. Day 11: Memory 1994. I was promoted to Corporal by Capt. DeMassey and the hubs. Side note, I’m pretty certain I was violating all kinds of reg with the glasses and lipstick. Day 12: Clouds The weather has been all over the place. One minute it’s cold, the next it’s hot. I need stability. Day 13: Part of Me My eyes are my favorite features, even though I’m blind as a bat without my glasses. Day 14: Eating One of my favorite salads…

    November Photo A Day Challenge: Days 4~9 {In the Dark Room}

    Happy Monday, y’all! I hope you guys had a good weekend. My weekend started on Friday and lasted through Sunday. Yay for long weekends! We didn’t do anything, just hung out around the house. But, sometimes, you just need to take a break and do nothing, amiright? But there are times when you really need to get away from it all… I think next time the hubs and I have some time off we’re going to try to go exploring. This week’s pictures are a mix of camera phone and DSLR shots. I find that if I mix it up I’m more likely to post a picture for that day’s…

    November Photo A Day Challenge: Days 1~3 {In the Dark Room}

    It has been waaaay too long since I’ve picked up my camera to shoot anything other than my clothes. Day 1: Fruit Confession: that apple was the last from a purchase from about a month ago. On one side it was wilted and bruised. Miss 18 was totally skeeved the whole time it was in her hands. Day 2: I Did This Today I do this every day. For further proof, check out my Instagram feed. Day 3: P Is For… Pretty petals on a purple flower. I’m linking up with: Fat Mum Slim ~ Photo A Day Challenge: Monthly photography challenge. If you play along, use the hashtag #FMSphotoaday…

    November Photo A Day {Instagram}

    cue the cheering crowds I did it! I did it! I took 30 photos for 30 days. I cannot believe I did it. Some of the photos have been less inspired than others but, you know what, it’s my life and I thank God for each and every day of it. Day 25: sky This is the view from my living room window, it never gets old. God is awesome. Day 26: in the cupboard One of my favorite dollar store finds, a coffee mug. Day 27: tree The Christmas tree in the library, decorated with book jackets. Creative, no? Day 28: vehicle My big and obnoxious baby. For the…

    November Photo A Day {Instagram}

    Time for another week in review, Instagram style. I’m so enjoying this Photo A Day Challenge, it’s fun to look back over the week and see all that’s happened. The prompts may seem random but it really requires a bit of creativity to capture memories… Day 18: happened this weekend The hubs made dinner for us: Hamburger Helper for himself and the kids and big ol’ hamburgers for me. This made me incredibly happy. Day 19: something awesome Can I get a “What? What?” The hubs made dinner two nights in a row! Pork steaks, rice and stuffing (he’s not much of a veggie man). Day 20: work/play Even with…

    November Photo A Day {Instagram}

    It’s a beautiful Saturday morning, and I’m sitting here watching a documentary about Abraham Lincoln. He’s such an interesting character. I’d really like to go see the movie that’s come out but I know that’s one I’d have to see alone. If I asked the hubs to go, he’d say: “That’s not my thing.” Sometimes I like that our tastes are so different; other times, not so much. This week I finished reading Reach: How to Use Your Social Media Influence for the Glory of God an ebook by @laurakrokos and @angipratt. I can’t remember exactly how I stumbled across the book, but I’m glad I did. For a while,…

    November Photo A Day {Instagram}

    It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon and I’m sitting here reviewing last week’s pictures from Fat Mum Slim’s Photo A Day Challenge. My inner critic is wishing that I’d been a bit more creative with the prompts but the quitter in me is celebrating the fact that I have 10 pictures posted. one of my favorite mugs from Earth and Wears what’s more colorful than shelves of books in a library? breakfast date with the hubs yes, our TV is hanging on the wall above the stairs kickin’ back in the recliner right now I’m totally diggin’ my boots from Sebago view of my kitchen in the hall mirror I drink…

    November Photo A Day {Photography}

    I’m not sure why I keep doing this to myself. Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment or maybe I’m just hoping that one day I will actually complete an entire month of photos. And, well, I kinda like this month’s Photo A Day prompts. I’ll be posting my pictures on Instagram (you can follow me by clicking here) and then doing a weekly wrap up here on the blog. Would you like to participate? Here are the rules: Starting 1 November take a picture using the inspiration from the prompt. Once you’ve taken your photo, share the picture on your blog, Facebook page, flickr, Instagram or Twitter or other preferred social media page. If you’re sharing…
