i instagram way too much, is the long and short of it. sometimes i wonder to myself, "should i show some restraint?" my mother always taught me that a lady should show some restraint.
in january i did the photo a day challenge started by @fatmumslim. it started off really fun and by the middle of the month i really resented having to do it. but i didn't quit! which is saying something. i mean, if you can't finish an instagram challenge then what are you good for?
(somehow missing: day 23?)
did you participate in the photo-a-day? was it exhausting?
(p.s. my instagram is natthefatrat!)
I love all your pictures!! I started with that one (although I don't have instagram yet, one day it will be on android) but I forgot half way through. I am going to try again this month, we will see how I do.
ReplyDeleteYep, I did it too because it looked like fun. I didn't quit but started getting bored around day 10. January was really long this year! What I am trying to say is that I love your instas. Can't get enough of a fashionable lady with an adorable baby and witty things to say. :)
ReplyDeletei'm officially intrigued and inspired enough to take something this foolish on for myself. the odds are not in my favor.
ReplyDeleteI did one day of this challenge and it wasn't even the Number one thing. But Huck with the dog? Ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteI started it and then immediately forgot about it!
ReplyDeleteWellllll, no iPhone yet, but I will very soon be instagramming to excess as well! I just have to tell you that Huck is the cutest chubby cheeked baby boy. I show my husband {a kid lover, but a man: not exactly one to fawn over other people's babies} pics you post of him and we both get all "aww, we hope our {future} baby has luscious little cheeks like his!" Adorable!
ReplyDeleteIsn't Chantelle's "screen name" fatmumslim? Has she changed it or am I missing something? And I can't be left out!! :)
ReplyDeleteNo my name hasn't changed! :P Not sure where the frugal came from!
DeleteI love instagram too, I tried the challenge but gave up on day five, lol. To my defense I was in another country with very little internet access SOOO I'm giving it another try this month. Well see how it goes!
ReplyDeletein 2010, i did a 365 project, which was taking a self-portrait EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR A YEAR! i agree, at a certain point, it's exhausting...especially when you're the subject every time!
ReplyDeletei would love to do a picture a day but i know i would forget. my brain just isn't programmed to do the same thing everyday. i like your pictures though. huck just makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteI just started the Feb challenge with FMS. It's only day 2 and I am totally into it.
ReplyDeleteBut I am worried about Sunday's challenge because it is 10am and I'll be in church.
I don't have an iphone or any kind of phone that takes pics.
So what am I to do?
Just whip out my big ol dslr and snap some photos of the preacher?
Hmm. We'll see what I come up with.
Will I be sick of it by the end of the month?
Only time will tell.
Are you doing Feb?
Love from,
Greta
I was so surprised to make it through the whole month that I'm giving February a shot too! not that I need encouragement to take photos :)
ReplyDeletei did! and i mostly loved it. but i did miss a few days when i was sick/working a ton. either way, a fun challenge to be creative. and, as always, love your pictures.
ReplyDeletewow! i found your blog via joslyn, love, love love! thanks for all the great inspiration :) - jessica
ReplyDeletep.s. can i ask where that arrow and heart necklace is from??
ah, you're my instagram inspiration! I think i can, i think i can, i think i can...keep up with Feb. Lovely blog!

Alright, I'll do it. Feb's a short month anyway...
ReplyDeleteMan, I'm with you. It was all fun at first, then it was like, "oh snap, I forgot to photo-a-day" proceeded by frantically looking around the room to find something remotely connected to whatever the day's challenge was...Good times, but like you, I squeaked by. Whoop, whoop!
ReplyDeleteSo so into your delicate little necklace! I'd love to wear that every day.
ReplyDeleteI don't have instagram (because I don't have an iphone- gasp!), but wish I did! I love all these photos. Huck is especially cute with his adorable lips and cheeks.
ReplyDeleteOh my I love this 'Photo a Day'. It's my first time hearing of it, besides the one that people do on Facebook, which is a 30-day challenge. Either way, how fun. I recently lost 5 years of pictures (you can read my meltdown on my blog) and need to make up for it . . . what a great way to start! Thanks.

I don't have instagram either, but I still attempted to participate. Failed though. I am doing a 366 photo a day challenge that I put up for myself on Facebook. Just a little picture everyday of something that makes me smile or shake my head.
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteMiraculously, I only missed one day (and made it up the next day). Getting towards the end I would forget all day then have to phone it in with some lame photo right before bed. But! I did it every day! Taking February off, but if she puts another one out in March I might participate. My instagram name is myfriendstaci!
ReplyDeletethe picture of baby natalie = huck with a black wig.
ReplyDeleteyou are too funny girl. i always want to do these photo-a-day challenges but i always forget too. it does seem pretty daunting but i'll have to join in now!

I started and only got to day 4 before I gave up!
ReplyDeleteOh, and it is Fat. Mum. Slim.

ReplyDeleteyou have such a cute writing style...keep sharing :)

i did it and loved it. makes me take more pictures (although? now i only take pictures with my iPod touch. somehow i've completely forgotten about my regular camera, which actually has a flash and a few cool features? oh well! camera+ and instagram rock my world!)
ReplyDeleteanyway, i'm soldiering on and doing february's photo-a-day challenge as well. we'll see when i actually stop. (maybe when i'm vacationing in sunny so-cal at the end of the month? but maybe not.)
i'm theginabean on the instragram.
where oh WHERE did you get that darling arrow necklace??
