This week sees the continuation of my use of the FatMumSlim #PhotoADay prompts, however I've struggled with them this week. There have been photos I wanted to use but they didn't fit that day's theme so I couldn't use them. It made me remember why I usually give up halfway through the month!
188. Where You Are (We started the day Hendrewennol fruit PYO down the coast road, and The Boy was in awe to see so many strawberries growing in the fields. It was blindingly hot though so we quickly progressed onto one of my favourite beaches; Southerndown.)
189. Path (Since The Boy had a climbing frame for his birthday, he is getting more and more adventurous in the ways he climbs up the top. This path he's taken has seen him swing along the monkey bars, Climb up through the bars of the jungle run, pull himself up and then climb along. Think the frame was a good idea!)
190. Three Things (We did some sponge printing and literacy this morning, using the sponge letters to spell out family names.)
191. Smooth (The Boy had to have a change of bedding part way through the night which meant that Oliver Monkey also needed washing. We engaged the spare Oliver unknowingly to him, and he was amazed at how smooth Oliver was all of a sudden! Whoops!)
192. I Wore This (So unimaginative, I know! A trip to the beach after work, walk along the pier with a yummy ice-cream. And you get my shoes. That's the problem with these prompts!)
193. Bad Habit (Why in God's name do we go to bed at gone 1am every night? We're knackered!)
194. Four o'clock (The Boy's reward this week was to visit Parc Play, but it was so unbearably hot that we only managed 20 minutes there. We'll go back on Monday)

Will definitely have to try the PYO!
Love the photo from Parc (even it was a short visit).
And as for the shoes- I want a pair!
TheBoyAndMe says
Hendrewennol is just down the road from you as well, you must go! The shoes are from Costco = £19.00!

Looks great, I so wish we had a PYO near here x
Coombemill says
I am hoping to follow in your footsteps with strawberry picking and the beach tomorrow.

The climbing frame pic is lovely,and he definitely looks like he likes it (the silhouette pic from the other day was that too I think?). Those sponge letters are so cool and looks a really good idea!
Susan says
I am dead impressed you have continued with the prompts. I would have given up long before now. I love that you have a spare Oliver. Great planning
Nikki Thomas says
I think you have some great photos there a really different collection for you. I love the sleepy photo and great printing!
mummyoftwo2 says
Great pics – I love pick your own we really should go soon! How on earth do you manage to stay up until 1am every night? I'm lucky to see 10pm!
Erica Price says
1am every night – can't manage that these day even for a special occasion. Some lovely shots concentrating on things. Seems bitter sweet because he'll be going to school soon.
Karen says
Your little man is looking so grown up recently. He's adorable and always looks like he's on a big adventure. Nice shoes!
LauraCYMFT says
1am! Oh gosh, I thought I was bad at 11:30 lol. There simply aren't enough hours in the day though. Lots of lovely photos of The Boy. I love strawberry picking!
fivegoblogging says
I find the prompts are great as a help when I can't find another photo or if inspiration fails but other wise too restricting. Having said that I love your Birkos (and tan lines) but the favourite shot has to be 'path'.
PS go to bed earlier x
OneDad3Girls says
I am loving your photos for this months prompts.
I especially like the Path photo.
jenny paulin says
this is why i didnt join in because it kind of forces you to take pics to suit the themes, i prefer more photo spontaneity !!
its great seeing him become more and more adventurous with his climbing – what a journey he has been on in the last year with his confirdence. i adore the sleeping photo because i love seeing sleeping little ones and i like your sandals! they look very comfy x
thisdayilove says
I love the climbing frame photo, he is growing up so quick
Su Tyler says
Southerndown must have been lovely in the sun. Ive not been there for years.
Clever mummy having a spare Oliver.
Helvetia Handmade says
Ooh strawberry picking and then to the beach sounds like my idea of heaven!
Emma says
I love the photos you've managed to take for the prompts. I am really enjoying actually even though some of my photos are a bit random compared to what I would usually use.
Red Rose Mummy says
I'm liking the prompts, I think I might join in next month because, despite all the wonderful weather we're having I feel like all my photos are the children playing in the water at the moment! I think a month of prompts might rejuvenate my 365! Lovely outdoors photos this week, my favourite is the pick your own. I really want to take Bud.
