Tuesday 10: I Heart Instagram

I heart Instagram. 

The idea behind Instragm is pretty simple. Snap a photo on your iPhone
or Android, add a quirky filter, share it across Instagram's internal network
or Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Fouraqure.

I'm a blogger who's strives daily at improving my writing skills, but I love to express my life thorough pictures. Instantly Instagram became my best friend in the social media world.

Here are a few of my fav's....

Sharing my life through photos.

Tuesday 10: 10 of my Favorite Photos

I'm super excited to be co-hosting this week's Tuesday 10 with the awesome Lena from Mom2MemphisAndRuby. Lena had requested ideas for future link ups and because of my photography background, of course I chose photos!

This week she's even adding a prize! If we get a minimum of 30 link ups, Lena will be giving away a medium ad space for April. Woohoo! 

This week I've chosen to post my 10 favorite photos taken by my daughter Rachel. A lot of you don't know that the passion my daughter has for photography, is how I got the itch to start. Now we make a pretty awesome team!

So in no particular order, here are my favorites from Photography by Rachel Lauren.

Isn't she talented? She's only 14! I'm a proud momma.

Friday | My Week in Photos

I love Friday's! Not only for the apparent end of a work week and now its time for a family fun weekend but for for blogging, my weeks reflection in photos. Taking a moment to look back and reflect. Being a photographer for me there's no better way to express myself.

Well it's February! Can you believe have quick January came and went?  I'm doing something pretty fun for this month. I'm participating in February Photo A Day Challenge. It's super fun! At the end of each month, a new challenging list will be posted of what genera of photo to take that particular day. If you want to join in, its not to late. You've only missed two days. Below is the list for February. Come on! You can do it! 

Here's how to play:

1. Use the list below as inspiration and take a photo everyday. For example for number one on the list, 'your view today' you'd take a shot of whatever it is that you can see today. This would be a wider shot of your office space, where you went for a walk, or whatever it is that you can see!

2. Share on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, your blog or where ever it is you want to share. If you're sharing on Instagram or Twitter use the hashtag #FEBphotoaday so everyone can find them. There's a great community around the photo sharing, so do share!

3. Check out everyone else's pictures. I do it before I go to bed each night and it's so fun to see how different everyone's photos are. There are people from every corner of the world playing.

Day 1: My View

{Monday-Friday 8-5}

Day 2: Words

It was my birthday and this was from my awesome hubby.

This week was crazy at our house!

Charlie loves playing video games with the cat on  her lap. Rachel went Winter Ball

Rachel packed me a lunch and labeled everything! Charlie's took tons

of pictures of our craft project so I could blog about it. {SO cute!}

Charlie bought a guitar necklace because she says "It reminders of Ren {her big adopted brother}. I miss him." He moved across county last month. Its been hard, on all of us.

Then there's what happens when mom blogs to much.... dinner out of a box. O_o

Saturday we baked conversation cookies. Ok they're not Marta Stewart looking but very tasty!

Then Starbucks gave a free coffee for my birthday! Non-fat peppermint mocha with whip please.

Now bring on the weekend! Have a great one.
