Thanks & April Food Photos Week 4

Thanks everyone for the prayers and kind words about Erik’s dad!

He passed away Monday evening, April 30th. We got to spend the whole day with him, we were there when he passed, and he seemed very peaceful when he went. He was ready, and though it’s been a really hard thing to go through, we’re glad he’s not in pain anymore, and we know he’s in a much better place. He’s from New York, so we’ll be headed to the east coast at the end of the week for the funeral.

I’ll probably be blogging sporadically, but until then … here’s the completion of April Food Photos.

April Food Photos Week 4

Day 22: go green // My favorite reusable bags – Happy Earth Day!
Day 23: favorite carb // My husband’s pizza!
Day 24: farmers market // Badseed Farmers Market
Day 25: dining room // Best part of the dining room
Day 26: something salty // Our favorite salt
Day 27: kitchen décor // The newest addition to our kitchen
Day 28: guilty pleasure // I don’t feel any of the guilt, but I’m pretty sure I eat these cookies way too often!
Day 29: mix it up // Mixing up the normal tea with some coffee
Day 30: midnight snack // Not exactly midnight, but since Erik’s dad had been in the hospital, we’ve had a lot of late night Chipotle dinners

     

Also, thanks to everyone who participated in April Food Photos! March and April full of photos has been tons of fun. I’ve had a few people ask if there is a May version and I’m sorry to say there is not. Things have been too busy around here and it wasn’t something I could commit to for May. Maybe there will be another one in June. I might jump in on Fat Mum Slim’s non foodie May challenge for this month, but I’m not sure yet. Either way … it’s been fun!

April Food Photo-a-Day Challenge

The time has come!

March Food Photos has been a ton of fun this month, and many people have requested an April edition. At first I didn’t think I could come up with 30 more food related photos that people could take on any given day, so I enlisted your help!

Big thanks to everyone who came up with awesome suggestions, I included many of your ideas to the list, so I hope you enjoy them! Now let’s get down to business.

April Foodie Photo-a-Day Challenge


How it works

It’s open to anyone who would like to join, and here’s how it works!

• Beginning April 1st, take a food inspired photo corresponding to the date and cue written next to it. Feel free to interpret the cues however you’d like!
• Once photo is taken, post it to whatever outlet you’d like whether it’s Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Pinterest, a blog, etc and use the hashtag #aprilfoodphotos.

That’s it! If you have any more questions, ask away.

March went by in a blur, but I’m already itching to get this next month started. Feel free to share with anyone else who might be interested.

Are you up for the challenge?



Feel free to link up your own blog or albums from Facebook, Pinterest, Flickr, Tumblr, etc below! Just add your link, pick a picture as thumbnail and submit. Or leave me a comment with a link and I'll add it for you :) Time to share some photos!
