OK, folks. April Fools!
So here we are. April 1 came and went, but hey — it’s almost normal anymore! One of these days, I’ll get it right again! I promise.
This month though.
You would think after doing this challenge for so many years that I would be ready for the March theme. Add one number and here we are.
But ELEVEN? What the ever living hell?
Honestly, this may have been the hardest theme we’ve done to date – at least for me. I had all sorts of ideas but the times I needed to do those ideas, it passed me by. This month had so much going on, so I blinked and different things went flying by. Still, I may be reaching for this month but hey-o … there’s a post!
And I have to be truly honest here – I’m interested to see what others came up with for the month!
Here are my five for the month of March!
1. 11 Minutes
I can’t say I’m always patient when me and Harper are out on a walk and she finds a stick she wants to chew on. I’ll let her go for a bit and then tell her she needs to finish or carry the stick. But this was a wonderful day of weather and she stopped not once, but twice, to chew on different sticks. According to time stamps of the photos, she chewed on these for a total of 11 minutes!
2. 8:11
This photo was taken at 8:11 a.m. on a walk! Plus, the peep’s ears could be an 11 …
3. Studio 11
The place where I get my haircut and beard trim, as well as Cameron getting his haircut is Studio 11. This was the latest one. Chris is the barber each of us use.
4. St. Patrick’s Day
OK, this one is a stretch, but I have to make it work. This is out and about on St. Pat’s Day with Harper. The photo was taken at 1:17 … so, there’s an 11 in there. I mean, I have to make it work somehow, right??
5. Tasty
Originally, my plan was to take all photos on March 11. However, that changed as my uncle died. He was 94 and the final sibling left of my father’s side of the family. The funeral was March 11. The gathering after was at this neat little restaurant. The sandwich i got was called a Speck or something along those lines. The waiter said it’s this thinly sliced, smoked filet mignon. It was with Brie cheese (though I think a great aged cheddar might be amazing with it). Very tasty.
There’s my five and let’s see what you came up with! If you took part in this month’s challenge, make sure to link up below.
And for those of you who participated, make sure you try and get to other people’s blogs and comment (here, too!).
Let’s continue to grow this challenge and have a strong community. Come back and check out the others who link later on, too! NOTE: We have a Facebook group for those who participate in the challenge and are interested. I’ll post any announcements there and hopefully it can be a place where things are discussed and some interaction etc. You can access it here.
** CHALLENGE CHANGE **
From this point forward, I am going to do the next theme at the bottom of each linkup. Also, the posting date will now be the first of each month, thus giving you the entire month to take the photos etc.
That means it’s a one-stop shop! Hopefully this helps out with everybody.
So, below is the linkup for March. Make sure you drop your link there.
OK, so it’s time to keep on moving! And just like that, it’s April! And our theme for the month? Point of View! This could be taken in so many ways. Get low. Get high. Take it from the eyes of somebody else. But have fun with it! I hope you all have fun with this theme! Remember to come back on (hopefully) May 1 to link up and check out the theme for that month!

Godspeed to your Uncle! My little Charlie chews on everything, she is also particularly fond of sticks! Thanks for keeping this going. I’m not always inspiring but I am always inspired!
My condolences on the passing of your Uncle. Ninety-four – that’s impressive.
You made the theme work just fine, despite not being able to execute on your “5 of 11” plan. I’m amazed dogs don’t get slivers in their gums when they chew sticks. And I always feel slightly inadequate when I see all of Harper’s occasion-specific accessories. She’s more stylin’ than me, that’s for sure! 😉
My condolences as well for the loss of your loved one. I pray you and yours are doing well. I enjoyed reading how you adapted the theme into the pics you took and were observant on the time stamps! Sounds like something I might have tried! Pics of Harper are always exceptional. How did Cameron get so grown-up looking?!
