Photo-A-Day Challenge {Part 1}

I'm currently about halfway through an August photo-a-day challenge on instagram. A friend from college, Mary, started hosting this photo-a-day challenge through her blog, Tall Mom tiny baby, a few months ago. I decided to jump on the bandwagon this month, and so far it's been fun.

Today I thought, "Why don't I share my loverly photos with my blogger friends?" I mean, it's an easy way to give you more glimpses into my pretty little life, right? So, here goes. For your viewing pleasure, I give you my first 14 days of August photos. Expect more as the month wraps up. And enjoy!

Day 1 - me

I'm on the far right, with my boy-ish bowl cut. (What was I

thinking?!) The rest of these cuties are my sibz. The littlest,

Jeff, would not stop crying during the photo shoot. Good 

memories. 

Day 2 - daily routine

Snuggling up under my fave blanket after a good day's work

and eating a tasty home cooked dinner. (Fish tacos, duh.)

Day 3 - black & white

My best friend in black and white. Note the new glasses.

Day 4 - something old

Hard boiled eggs, nothing new 'bout that. But

topping them with Sriracha and actually baking

them instead of boiling them... that's how I keep

things egg-citing.

Also Day 4 - something old

Our youth group seniors, who are actually college freshman

now! We celebrated their graduation at our youth group cook

out this evening. Gonna miss those goobers. 

Day 5 - happiness

Homemade black bean and sweet potato enchiladas. (recipe)

Day 6 - your sky

Love the sunset palette.

Day 7 - pretty

The groom and groomsmen holding the bride's and bmaids'

purses while they were off hammin' and glammin' it up for 

the camera. Thanks, boys!

Day 8 - reading

Love me some sight reading and singing. Spent the evening

singing with our church's contemporary choir during rehearsal 

for mass.

Day 9 - upside down

I found my favorite candy at Kroger! And then I went to town 

creating this gem of a self portrait featuring said candy. Btw, 

does it have an official name? Gummy slices?

Day 10 - makes me smile

Cruising 'round town in the new car, wearing my fave $15

sunglasses, drinking delicious tesote from Las Tortugas. 

Day 11 - full

Full tummies after froyo night with the youth group.

Day 12 - shadows

One of my favorite photos from our wedding: a late-night

shot of the back of my gown. My brother is a photography

genius.

Day 13 - music

Serenaded late at night by the hubs. Yes, please!

Day 14 - texture

Love me some juice - apple, orange, carrot, ginger. Look at

that yummy texture!

If you follow me on instagram, these pictures will look familiar. :) If you don't follow me on instagram, but would like to, find me @stephschweitz.

Friends, would you participate in a photo-a-day challenge if I hosted one? Thinking about starting one, but only if you'd play along. What do ya think?
