@mildredanne on Instagram created this fun list.
Kendra from Like a Bird created another daily DSLR photo challenge for June! Though I’m horrible at using my DSLR consistently (sometimes I barely get my Instagram pics posted!), I know there are many who might! She also posted an area for you to link up where you’ll be sharing your pics. Fun!

{InstaFriday} Five May #Photoaday Challenges

I can’t believe that April is almost over!
Well, for April, I “signed on” for two different photo a day challenges, and while I would typically post a weekly recap here, next week I’ll be posting the entire monthly recaps, so I’ll spare you the duplication.

So here are a few random shots…

happy skies in AZ before the storm…
love these boys…

attended my sweet friend’s wedding at the Wrigley Mansion, a landmark in AZ…

So, challenge-wise, here’s what I did in April:

 || #photoadayapril by @fatmumslim ||

:::::::::::::::::
BUT, what’s on tap for May?
Like I did in April, I’ve rounded up a few fun challenges…
At this point for me, these lists are just mandatory.
Chantelle of Fat Mum Slim has come up with another great list.

UPDATE:
|| #connectwithpc by @papercoterie ||

Paper Coterie has been doing a fun #connectwithpc list all year as well, and they just posted the May list today and I felt I had to share with you all, well, because I plan on participating!

April from Live a Life of Love and Erin from Bringing Up Burns teamed up to start the #photo366 project. They even have a Facebook page dedicated to it. I did this one in April and it was a nice list to mix things up!
Katie Rose of Modly Chic has created a list this month in tribute to all things fashion and beauty. Come on, I know you’re out there my fashion blogger friends! Does this list speak to you? I’m no fashion expert, but I think it sounds like fun.
I thought this was a great take on a photo challenge. The Tell Them network who’s goal is to reduce teen pregnancy has created a project to help support healthy relationships. They state, “We believe that one of the best ways to combat teen pregnancy rates is to teach and encourage healthy relationships to young people. In this spirit of spring and new beginnings, we have created a fun activity to encourage ongoing discussions of healthy relationships and what they mean to each of us.”

Kendra from Like a Bird created a daily DSLR photo challenge for May. Though I can’t see breaking out my DSLR everyday (sometimes I barely get my Instagram pics posted!), I know there are many who might! She also posted an area for you to link up where you’ll be sharing your pics. Fun!

BUT this month, oh yah, one challenge was apparently just not enough, so i’m also trying to swing this one as well:
and here are my posts for this challenge for the past few days…
spring is in full bloom in Phx (practically summer!), a sunset shot through my sunnies, birthday party details (which are still up in our house btw), again bloomin flowers, me on 15 at my big boy’s birthday party, and the lil guy showing his moves…the sprinkler anyone?

{InstaFriday} Eight April #Photoaday Challenges

It’s InstaFriday! And typically I’m wrapping up my week of Instagram #photoaday challenge pics. However, tomorrow is the last day of March (really? where did it go??), then after that I will be doing a recap of my month in #marchphotoaday pics and wanted to spare you all the duplication! Did you participate in #marchphotoaday? If so, make sure you link up with Nest of Posies and The House of Smiths for a whole lotta recap fun!

So what are we signing up for in April? I’ve rounded up some fun lists and challenges for you to consider…
Chantelle of Fat Mum Slim has mixed up the hashtag this month but kept the list as fabulous as ever with this #photoadayapril spread. I’m definitely in.

Pantene teamed up with Miss Chantelle this month to come up with a hair-raising good list for #hairphotoaday. 
April from Live a Life of Love and Erin from Bringing Up Burns teamed up to start the #photo366 project. They even have a Facebook page dedicated to it. I just might give this one a try…though I’m a little nervous about taking on too much photo fun! Haha!
Paper Coterie has been connecting with its followers via hashtag projects like #lovingthistoday and #takingtimeforplay. They are so intriguing! For April, you can get involved with this list and #connectwithpc. 
When looking for challenges, I happened across this list from Jessica of Other Such Things. I just like her style…and this is a great list!
Calling all foodie fans! This list is for you! I’ve seen lists by Lesley from The Purple Carrot before and they’re just great. A fun take on a #photoaday challenge.
Grace, a blogger at Chois-R-Us and her friends came up with this fun list. I like the fact that it was friends who decided what they wanted to see each other post. I love connecting with others that way. That is, in fact, the main reason why we’re on Instagram and doing #photoaday challenges, right?
I first saw this group pull together a monthly photo skill challenge, another great take on #photoaday. However, due to the crossover from all the monthly challenges they’ve changed their format to weekly. Now if you visit www.instafa.me or follow @getinstafame on IG you can keep up with their weekly prompts.
Well no matter what you do in April, I hope I can follow along! If I don’t follow you already on Instagram, come find me @anightowlblog and I’ll follow back! Or leave your IG handle in the comments and I’ll come find you!

It’s InstaFriday! And since we wrapped up another month of the #photoaday challenge by @fatmumslim on Instagram, I’m doing a recap and linking up with some fabulous ladies!

It’s such a fun project! So…here is what my month looked like for #febphotoaday…

Want to see the pictures closer up? Just go HERE and you can see the entire album!

If you haven’t seen it yet…take a look at what’s on tap for #marchphotoaday…

And if you’re not on Instagram, I’ve seen a number of different ways that folks are still participating. How about a photo posted to your blog daily? Or to your Facebook page? Or try finding an app, such as My365, that allows you to take a record a picture a day to keep track! The more the merrier!

Good luck #photoaday-ers!
