FMS Photo-A-Day Summer Wrap-up

Guess who hasn't done a monthly photo-a-day wrap-up since May?!? Oops.  In an effort to get fully caught up and avoid doing several of these in a row, today I'm presenting you with this post that is chock full o' photo vomit. 92 pictures, 3 lists of prompts. A jumble of far more photos that anyone could wish to process.  But I like having these as a record and it keeps me accountable - and believe me, I need it, since I'm not staying on top of this so well!!

June photo-a-day pictures (in order from #1-30)

FMS Photo-A-Day May Wrap-up

Well I came very, very close to giving up on this challenge in May. I stopped just before we left for our 10 day vacation, then when we got home, I wasn't feeling very motivated to catch up. But once I got back in my usual groove I started to miss it, so I did finally get back up to speed (and now I'm very glad I did!). Here are my May photos with the prompt list below.

FMS Photo-A-Day April Wrap-up

What happened in April? Didn't it just start, like, a week ago? We did the Cherry Blossom 10-miler/5K (you can guess who did which race...), Bryan did the Tough Mudder, I went to the Maryland SPCA March for the Animals, Bryan had a couple of business trips (Minnesota/Michigan & Vegas), I moved to a new office at work, we had some 30th birthday parties to attend (lots of those this year!), and all of the framing for our house went up! I also managed (barely) to keep up with the Fat Mum Slim photo a day challenge...

FMS Photo-A-Day March Wrap-up

Three months down in the Fat Mum Slim photo a day challenge for 2013! March was a great month - our highlights included two little getaways (our WV ski trip and my girls weekend in Austin) and the foundation for our house being poured - yay! My favorite (only?) project of the month was our new return air grille - I'm still loving how it looks! Anyway, like the last couple of months (Jan and Feb), I wanted to do a quick wrap-up of my daily pics along with the list of prompts - here they are!

FMS Photo-A-Day February Wrap-up

Happy Friday & Happy March! I'm not exactly sure where February went. It was a pretty quiet month for us overall. Some of the highlights were watching the Ravens win the Super Bowl (hooray!!), learning how to make sushi at a friend's party (yum!), celebrating a simple Valentine's Day at home (so nice), and finally seeing some actual, visual progress on our home site (crazy exciting!! - more about that coming soon!).

I'm still enjoying keeping up with the #FMSphotoaday challenge by Fat Mum Slim (learn more about how to play here). Here's a collage of all my February pics, with the list of prompts below.

If you want to join in for March, you can grab the list here. And as always, I'd love for us to follow each other on Instagram - I'm @jdeares

Have a lovely weekend!

FMS Photo-A-Day January Wrap-up

I've been participating in Fat Mum Slim's photo a day challenge for a few months, although I got kind of flaky with it at the end of 2012. With the new year starting, I decided that I really wanted to keep up with it throughout all of 2013 and get a full 365 photo challenge in! 

If you're not familiar with it, there's a new list of daily photo prompts each month. Each day, you take a photo inspired by the day's theme, then tag your photo with #FMSphotoaday on Instagram (or elsewhere, but IG is my method). There are no real rules; it's just meant to be a fun way to inject a little extra creativity into your day. You can read more about how to play here. And if you'd like to hop in on February, here's the list for this month.

Here (a little delayed) is my January wrap-up...
