Hi, guys!
I’m working with Staples on a fun project for the month of June. The company recently sent me a new camera to capture 30 days of summer in a “photo a day” challenge. You guys have seen these photo challenges before, right? You basically snap a picture every day of the month based a list of daily themes.
I thought this was an awesome idea, especially since I’m not sure how much blogging I’ll be doing with a newborn, but I’d still like to document our life somehow this month. I figured taking a photo a day would be the perfect way to do it without adding too much stress.
If you’d like to join along, the daily themes are below, one for each day of June. At the end of the month, there will be a sweet giveaway on CNC to win the same camera that I now own (it’s amazing, btw), so I hope you decide to join in. Just tag your photos on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. with the hashtag #30summerdays. The challenge starts tomorrow on June 1st. Happy photographing!
Week 1
1 – Rabbit, Rabbit! What brings you good luck?

Great idea especially since you’ll be in brain fog mode with the baby 🙂 Getting excited for summer!
This will be such a fun project! Especially when you have a new baby around – so many beautiful pictures 🙂
Would love to participate but what if I’m old school and don’t use twitter, facebook, or Instagram?
cute idea! I just finished 100 happy days and actually LOVED the challenge of having to take a pic every day! it was fun to look back and see what was making me happy every day 🙂
This sounds like fun! Wish I had more time to join in the fun, but have a full time job and between that, working out and the blog my time is limited.
Ahh this sounds so fun! I might just have to join in on the fun this month 🙂
This sounds so fun! I’ve always wanted to do one of these photo a day challenges, but never have. Definitely doing this one 🙂
Long time reader but have never commented! Definitely joining this- I’ve wanted to participate in a photo challenge and this is perfect- especially since the month ends on my bday 🙂 good luck with the babe! My 2nd, a little sweet boy, turns 1 on 6/12! You’ll love having a little man 😉
These look fun! I finally joined the rest of the world and got an Instagram, and this is a great way to use it. 🙂
This sounds like fun and plan on joining you in the 30 day challenge. June is my favorite month of the year, so I hope I can get it done.
I love the idea of taking a photo everyday, but not so sure about going back to look up the daily theme each time. Seems like having a month-long theme like “happy” or “summer” would be much easier to stick to. Meanwhile … second day of clearly pre-written posts! Anybody else think a big announcement post will be coming soon?!?!
I love this! Count me in!
Great idea for your soon-to-be-busy life! I’ve been wanting to try another photo challenge so I hope to join (either on my blog or Instagram). Thanks for the inspiration!
Excited for this photo challenge! 🙂
Funnn! I totally want to join in.
Just what I was looking for – a photo challenge. Can’t wait to get started.

Oh this sounds like something fun to join in with. I am not so good at taking pictures which is not good for a blogger!!

Super excited about this!!! Although I’m not sure exactly how hashtags actually work! Haha, maybe I will start an instagram account today just for this challenge. Or do they work on Facebook too?
Anyways, I LOVE the idea, it might make for some more interesting pictures instead of everything being about my kids all.the.time
How fun! I’m doing something similar but it’s for the whole 99 days of summer!
