Fellow Instagram enthusiasts (I know, not at all professional in terms of photography but interesting all the same), may be familiar with Chantelle of Fat Mum Slim and her monthly photo a day challenge. I’ve done a couple of months here and there and while I did spend a little more time on it than I probably should have, it was refreshing to have a prompt every day to inspire a photo…even if it was only for Instagram. (By the way, you can check out Fat Mum Slim’s Instagram by searching @fatmumslim.)
She’s also got a great blog and her most recent post resonated with me. It would seem that we have a few things in common–two kids, we’re a similar age and we both may not have been getting our recommended daily allowance of fun. Instead of writing a list of resolutions to accomplish, she has chosen the word “fun” as something to focus on in 2014 and I think it’s a marvelous idea! She also has a list of 14 ordinary things to do in 2014. See, we must have some things in common, because I’ve been thinking a lot about how I can make 2014 more meaningful, more fulfilling and definitely more fun.
Take a look at her list–here are a few I especially love
#1: Meet your neighbor. Living out in the country, we don’t have all the opportunities to interact with other people the way city-dwellers do. That makes knowing and appreciating our few neighbors all the more important.
#6: Plan a self date. Other moms know what that’s about! I take self to me solo, as in no kids allowed.
#14: Get in the photos. This one comes with the caveat that selfie’s don’t count, which I wholeheartedly second!
The rest of the list is worth a read, too. Maybe I’ll start working on my own one of these days…
