December Photo A Day: Pt. 1

We've all seen different photo-a-day type challenges on Facebook and Instagram (if you're on either). With the start of December, of course, came a fresh round. Well, ladies and gentlemen (I'm assuming I have male readers, although I've never actually heard from any), this time I'm taking part. Except, instead of daily posts to Instagram, I'll be doing weekly blog updates. Yaaay! (I'll pretend you're excited for this until I hear otherwise from each and every one of you.)

I found this particular one via a friend on Twitter who was posting via her Instagram account. If you're considering following me on Instagram, you'll be waiting a while as I have yet to jump on that bandwagon (despite the rave reviews).

So here's the challenge, created by @fatmumslim:

And here is my first week of December in iPhone photographs:
Day 1: 8 o'clock

the view while rocking N to sleep

Day 2: peace

my sleeping baby

Day 3: something you held

took a walk in the rain

Day 4: black and white

G's Christmas tree at night

Day 5: looking up

the view from an upstairs bedroom

Day 6: from where you live/country

the Christmas tree capitol of the world

Have you ever participated in a photo challenge? What was you favorite part?
