February photo a day kicks off tomorrow



My January picture a day was a success! I managed to take all of my 31 pictures. Very happy :)....
Browsing through my new favorite site, yes Pinterest, I found a photo challenge for the month of February. She gives you different ideas of pictures to take every single day. Pretty cool! For sure it's going to help with my non existent creativity and having to guess what to take a picture of each day. I'm linking her blog here were I read all about this challenge. Check out her site which is pretty cool too.

Follow me in Instagram @stuffbyKari and on Twitter @stuffbyKari and I'll be posting my pictures there. Let me know where to follow you in comments so I can check out your pictures also!


fat mum slim: February photo a day kicks off tomorrow: A little reminder: February photo a day starts tomorrow! I do hope you'll play along. Here's how to play:

1. Use the list above 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.



Happy picture taking (:

My New Years resolution: GET ORGANIZED

My New Years resolution is to get organized! I feel like I have little piles of to-dos all over my house. Somehow I will always get to them later. I want that to change. So I did some "googleing" (my go to source for everything) and I found a "Declutter and get Organized Calendar". The website was http://Mysimplerlife.com/. The calendar has something to do every single day. What I liked about it is that the task are not out of this world. At the most it will take you fifteen minutes to do a day, very important to me :-). Super exited I printed my handy dandy calendar and got to work! My first task: Clean out spice cabinet and throw away all of the expired ones. This one is easy (is what my brain is telling me), I got this. I get to cleaning and looking for expiration dates and I stumble across a couple of 2010 and even 2009 (actually not a couple, A LOT). What was really disturbing was when I found not one but two (yes TWO) things that expired in 2007!!!! What the barnacles! And here I was thinking that this was a piece of cake. By the time I was done I had Adobo, Basil, and Garlic Powder. Kind of disturbed and two grocery bags of expired spices later I decided to, bravely enough, attack the pantry. With this I will just say that I need to go grocery shopping by the time I was done. I can't wait to see what else this Calendar has in stock for me. Happy Decluttering and Organizing to you :-)
