Photo a Day Challenge : April 2013

It’s been a little over a year since I did a photo challenge on Instagram, so I figured it was time to jump in again! I find these challenges to be so rewarding, especially since I am totally guilty of being an Instagram mom who only posts pictures of her kids. Photo challenges help me break out of my rut a little bit (even if many of the pics still end up being of my kids…I can’t help it they are ADORABLE!) and gets my creative mind back in working order. My favorite photo challenge is the Fat Mum Slim Photo a Day Challenge, which changes monthly. At the beginning of each month, Chantelle posts a list of photo prompts for each day. You download the list (either on your phone or computer) and then take a photo corresponding to the prompt. For example, a new list came out today for the month of May, and today’s prompt is “I bought this.” You simply take a photo of something (anything!) you have purchased, and then upload the image to Instagram, Facebook or Twitter along with the hashtag #fmsphotoaday. By searching for that hashtag, you can find all the other photos from other participants, which is one of my favorite things to do. I love seeing other people get creative, it’s good for the soul.

Here are my photos from the April photo a day challenge! I tend to post these to my Instagram, so come over and follow me at @crazy_bananas. Sometimes I’ll upload them to Facebook too, so if that’s more your speed, check me out over there. Happy snapping!
