Happy uno de Mayo and yahoo! I'm happy to report that I fully completed fellow blogger fat mum slim's
April photo a day challenge! The photo-a-day challenge is something I really love doing because it inspires me to take a different look at the every day, ordinary things in my life and find beauty or creativity in them. I also love that I am getting to document my month in photos. I can't wait to look back on all of these pictures at the end of the year because it's going to be a great photo diary of 2012. With that said, I encourage all of you to take on the
May challenge because it has been very rewarding for me! If you want to keep up with my photos daily, be sure to follow me on instagram by clicking
