#happyseptemberhappyme Instagram challenge

Hi everyone! My friend Chrissie (@storiesfromthesummerhouse) and I have come up with an Instagram photo challenge for the month of September, #happyseptemberhappyme, and we'd love for as many people as possible to get involved!

The challenge is all about finding the little things in life that make us happy on a daily basis and taking photos that show our appreciation of them. You can do as many or as few days as you like. Since in September most people's summer holidays are over, children are all back at school, and everything has returned to a busy routine, it can sometimes be a bit of a stressful or boring time so we hope that this challenge will bring some fun and help you to appreciate all the good things in your life.

It all started back in June when Chrissie set herself a happiness challenge for the month, called #happyjunehappyme. I enjoyed looking at her photos every day, and thought I'd like to do the same challenge. We had also been trying to think of ways to collaborate since we both attended the Edinburgh Blogger Conference back in June, and we loved the sense of community that Instagram challenges can bring. Then I had the idea that we could open up the happiness challenge to everybody, and we've been excitedly planning it ever since!

At the end of each week of the challenge we'll choose four of our favourite photos to feature. We can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for the different prompts.

It would be really amazing if you could share the graphic above, with the list of photo prompts, to help let people know about the challenge!

I really hope you will get involved with the #happyseptemberhappyme challenge, and I really look forward to seeing your photos if you do! It's going to be so much fun!
