Spring Photo Challenge 2025

Image
One of my spring goals was to use my "real" camera more often so I went in search of a photo challenge I could participate in for spring. I found some old photo challenge ideas on Pinterest and ended up picking topics from a few different challenges and compiled them into one big list for myself.  Now, not all these photos are taken with my Nikon but it did prompt me to use it a bit more often and not always just rely on my cell phone.

It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge. This month Mireille picked tropical prints for our challenge. I am drawn to bright summer patterns and have so many in my closet. That said we've had a very cool spring and since all my tropical print things are sleeveless and better suited to warm weather I put together a compilation of old photos instead.  I often pair a brighter printed top with plain skirts and pants.  Or a brightly printed skirt or shorts with a plain top. Though I do have some full length skirts and jumpsuits that have all over patterns I enjoy too.    Amy ~ Amy’s Creative Pursuits Blog  |  Instagram  |  Pinterest  |  Facebook  | Bo ~ Bo's Bodacious Blog Blog  /  Instagram  / Pinterest  /  Bloglovin' Jennifer ~ Overflowing with Thankfulness  Blog / Instagram / Pinterest Joanne ~ My Slice of Life Blog / Instagram/ Pinterest/ Facebook Jodie ~ Jodie’s...

Weigh- In Wednesdays; The Last One!

Image
After rejoining Weight Watchers, I knew I wanted to reinstate my Weigh- In Wednesdays posts and it was great for keeping me motivated and focused. But I haven't used Weight Watchers at all in the past 2 months and earlier this month I gave up access to their app. I figured why pay for it if I wasn't using it?  I feel pretty confident that I know what I need to do to keep the weight off and I am definitely still focused on healthy living and nutrition but I think it's time to say good-bye to this link up so today will be my last Weigh-in Wednesday for the foreseeable future.   I did gain quite a few pounds on our Maine trip but I was not at all surprised; eating fried foods and ice cream daily will do that. Even if we did bike 24 miles, hike for upwards of 5 miles, and put on lots and lots of steps walking.  That said we returned home and I went back to healthy eating.  Fruit yogurt and granola with chia seeds for breakfast   Or eggs with veggies and my...
