Walking to school in the rain on Day 1 – morning:
I’ve been doing Fat Mum Slim‘s photo challenges for the last couple of months and my kids have enjoyed it almost as much as I have. Every day they ask me what today’s photo is supposed to be. They also have their own blog, Phun Photos, and my son has come with his own list for a photo challenge. So, I will be posting 2 photos each day in June, one for Fat Mum Slim and one for Phun photos.
Here are the lists if you’d like to play along:
Here is the remainder of May’s photos.
Day 19 – a favourite place. I worked here for 11 years, met my husband here, and made friends who were, and still are like family. I really miss this place…especially the people ♥
Day 20 – something you can’t live without. Other than the obvious, my family…it’s electricity. I did without it for 24 hours during the big blackout of 2003 and it was hell! No lights, no tv, no computer or internet, no refrigeration, and eventually no phone.
Day 21 – where you stand. At the kitchen sink…sometimes it feels like I’m here all day.
Day 22 – pink. My ugly pink crocs. I always leave these by the back door in case I need to run out quickly…even in the snow.
Day 23 – technology. It still floors me how easy it is for my kids to possess the music they love. I used to have to wait until the weekend and hope that my mom would take me to the mall so I could buy a record. Now, my kids ask me for a song and in less than 5 minutes it’s been downloaded onto their computer and transferred to their SD cards to play on their DS…no iPods for them, yet. Oh, the Adele album…that was for me, lol.
Day 24 – something new. The start of a new day.
Day 25 – unusual. From my teenage years…Cyndi Lauper’s debut album, “She’s So Unsual”. Yes kids, this is a record.
Day 26 – 12 o’clock. I love my kitchen clock!
Day 27 – something sweet.
Day 28 – today’s weather. Remnants of the early morning thunderstorm we awoke to.
Day 29 – a number. Our house number.
Day 30 – your personality. Panicky. Not in an actual crisis like when one of my kids has a 104F fever or splits their lip open and needs stitches…then I’m calm, rational and can deal with the situation. But I do suffer from panic attacks. Not as often as I used to…mostly while driving at night, which is why I tend to avoid doing that, lol.
Day 31 – something beautiful. I was originally going to choose flowers for today, but my son suggested I should post a photo of his sister because she’s beautiful. I thought that was so sweet ♥ I took this photo of my daughter a couple of years ago, it’s one of my favourites.
I look forward to June’s challenge!
Day 10 – a favourite word. Bazinga: “A catchy phrase to accompany your clever pranks as popularized by Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory)”.
Day 11 – kitchen. We gave our kitchen a facelift last year. These are the before and after pics. I always hated those pinkish cabinets even though we chose them when the house was built. They looked much different in the design centre.
Day 12 – something that makes you happy. Getting paid…shallow, but honest. After struggling for a while, it’s nice to have a steady income. Love the cool new fifties too!
Day 13 – mum. We haven’t changed much, have we?
Day 14 – grass.
Day 15 – love. Me and my girl…chipped nail polish and all.
Day 16 – what you’re reading. The boy I babysit had very little interest in reading before I pulled this off the shelf. It’s interactive and really gets the kids involved. We read it almost every day 
Day 17 – snack. My favourite after dinner snack.
Day 18 – something you made. This is one of my entries in the Mary Maxim Afghan Design contest. I’m submitting 2 baby blankets.This is a pretty basic design, but the other one is like a patchwork quilt with pink flowers. I’m still working on that one
I spent a lovely day with my family yesterday. Nothing special, just a nice quiet Sunday with no fights between my kids My husband got me my favourite pizza for dinner and brought home some flowers with him.
I hope all the moms out there had a great day too!
I had so much fun doing Fat Mum Slim’s Photo a Day April challenge, that I’m doing the May one too. I’m excited that a bunch of my friends have decided to join in this month. Here’s the list for May:
I’m posting my photos on Facebook each day, here are the first 9 days:
