Mendi's March Photos -- Days 1-15

This is our first time joining in on the Photo A Day challenge created by Fat Mum Slim, so please be gentle on us if we dropped the ball at all. Do I sound guilty, or what?!?! Haha. It was definitely fun to stop in the hustle and bustle of (almost) each day to catch a photo pertaining to the day's topic. I'm not sure how much creativity I used, but I think I'll get better at this with practice! You have to walk before you can run, right?? Nonetheless, I hope you guys enjoy taking a glance...


Day 1 -- UP
A view of my UPstairs hallway. Gallery wall, painted stripes & book page wreath all done by moi.

Day 2 -- FRUIT
Do my orange flavored gummy vitamins count?? Winston is trying to creep up in the picture. For a little fake bird, he's such a camera hog.

Day 3 -- YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
From my garage. I'll be so glad when the trees start to bloom again. Naked trees are so not pretty.

Day 4 -- BEDSIDE
All of my bedtime essentials. And yes, nail polish is a bedtime essential.

Day 5 -- A SMILE
One of my favorite quotes. So true. Make-up is just the icing on the cake.

Day 6 -- 5PM
5PM FAIL. Sorry, I didn't even think about my photo of the day until I was pulling in my driveway at 6:14. Ironically enough though, the song playing on the radio is one of my current faves.

Day 7 -- SOMETHING YOU WORE
My MK shades...a sunny day staple.

Day 8 -- WINDOW
The view from our table at our "blate"...aka: blogger date. Oh, we forgot to tell you guys about that! We met with four awesome Richmond area bloggers (Chic Stripes, Chronicles of a Dime, Downtown Southern and Simply Sarah) for happy hour and lots of girl talk. We can't wait to do it again!!

Day 9 -- RED
An obvious choice. I wear red daily. :)

Day 10 -- LOUD
FAIL. What can I say, I like my peace and quiet.

Day 11 -- SOMEONE YOU TALKED TO TODAY
Two of my loves:  the hubz and baby girl. We spent a beautiful day in eastern North Carolina retriever training with Zoey. I love capturing the simple moments.

Day 12 -- FORK
FAIL. Hello?? What was I thinking? Certainly I held a fork at some point that day, but apparently my brain was on vacation.

Day 13 -- A SIGN
My first morning Starbucks drive thru run since before Christmas. I gave up my $5 a day non-fat white mocha with whip addiction. Now I'm sticking to iced black tea sweetened with two splendas. Baby steps.

Day 14 -- CLOUDS
Do you guys ever see the tail of a flying jet & wonder where it's headed?? I always wonder if it's somewhere I'd want to go or if the people on board are happy to be bound for their destination.

Day 15 -- CAR
Meet Creamy, that's right, she has a name & she's one of my other loves. With my commute to and from work being 45 minutes each way, Creamy & I spend a lot of time together. 

I hope you guys enjoyed going along with me on my daily journey for days 1-15. At the end of the month, Jayme will be sharing her snapshots with you of days 16-31. Be sure to let us know if you are participating in the March Photo A Day challenge, because we'll certainly want to take a look at your pics.

  21. I love the stripes in your hallway! And oh my gosh, I gave-up my iced venti nonfat vanilla lattes, and traded them in for iced venti 2-splenda black teas, too! I'm trying to cut down on those, but they're so good and cheap by Starbucks standards!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Wow! and you can design/decorate too :) The gallery is nice and the your property (and I totally understand the absence of the leaves part!) is lovely. Lol.. had to laugh, first glance I thought the bottle {bedside} was wine!! I was thinking .. well at least it's not vodka - oh dear, I need a starbucks!

  37. I drive a Ford Edge too! Only mine is blazing copper. I love it! And I love it even more now that it's paid off. :) We must live parallel lives because I spend a ton of time in my car too. I put almost 20,000 miles on it last year.
