FMS Photo a day challenge

I've decided to move my #fmsphotoaday photos to Instagram from now on. I don't think they quite fit in this blog and also they flood the page with daily updates. If you would like to follow my daily (most of the time anyway) photos, please look up #strawbsinscarbs on Instagram.

Have a happy weekend everybody!

Photo a day 68/365 - 10 AM

Playing with play dough thinking about Easter bunnies and eggs :)

Photo a day 64/365 - SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH I

Internet. We finally got a proper internet connection and a WIFI modem at home. Bye bye mobile internet!

Photo a day 60/365 - YELLOW

Beautiful fish at AQWA on the weekend.

Photo a day 61/365 - SOMETHING BORROWED

Some of them borrowed, some of them mine. We love the library :)

Photo a day - FEBRUARY RANDOMS

These are the snaps I took in February when I remembered but didn't have the time to update on the blog.

32/365 - YOU

You as in my family. On the beach one beautiful morning.

34/365 - SOMETHING ORANGE

Beautiful Moomin tea from Finland. I believe this one was the last one...

36/365 - SQUARE

Chocolate squares I made. I adapted the recipe to be a bit more healthy by using whole meal flour and replacing all refined sugar - result not so nice. Decision: this is best made with the original recipe and consumed responsibly!

39/365 - WATER

My favorite water; lemon flavored and sparkling.

41/365 - I AM...

...a toddler owner.

Photo a day - LAST OF JANUARY

As I explained earlier, February has been my holiday month from the Photo a Day Challenge. I also noticed that I had missed a couple of photos from the last days of January. Here they are now!

29/365 - WINDOW

Playing in the backyard with Popeye and bubbles. The window shows in the bubble as a reflection.

30/365 - BEST INVENTION EVER

Picture borrowed from my blog boab dreaming. The best invention ever is to store your leafy and other greens in a wet tea towel in the fridge. Read about my experiments in here!

31/365 - POLKA DOT

Lovely markets on the beach in Scarborough.

The February random pics will be updated a bit later.

Back from the dead...

It's been dead over here lately and I apologise for that. Mainly to myself since I really wanted to keep this blog going and regularly updated. That would give me a sense of accomplishment and assurance that I can keep doing something for a long time. Not just get excited, start and then forget about it.

Reason for this silence is two-fold; firstly our little man was sick for about 2 weeks in February and took all my attention and energy. Secondly my mobile plan can't handle all the traffic it was getting with almost daily updates and I was running out of data constantly. Now Popeye is well again and we are getting a proper broadband in the house, so I can continue posting easily. Yay!

I decided that February can be my holiday month from the Photo a Day Challenge and that I will start again in March. I will post a few random photos for February that were taken but never made it to the blog. The first pics for March will be updated in a bit :) 

Photo a day 28/365 - DINNER

Dinner out with friends and two toddlers. Had a good time and everybody behaved well :)

Photo a day 27/365 - SOMETHING I BOUGHT

A mini bag of gourmet jelly beans. Every tiny little one was a taste explosion, they really lived up to their Gourmet name!

Photo a day 26/365 - FUN STUFF!

Poo can be fun as well! Found these in the toilet of a nice cafe in Freo. 

Photo a day 25/365 - A TASTE OF SUMMER

I scream. Ice cream. 

Photo a day 24/365 - YOUR SPACE

Sadly I can't think of what to take a photo of for this. I don't feel like I have my own space at home or even inside my head for that matter... I will add a photo later if I can think of something. 

Photo a day 23/365 - BEDTIME

A hot day got the better of him. A nice lunch time nap in the cool aircon. 

Photo a day 22/365 - NICE!

+35 degrees and a cider. First one in two years! It was beautiful, golden and cold. A taste of summer that brought back many memories. Perfect. 

Photo a day 21/365 - BLUE

Blue cardboard, glitter glue, stars. My work for today. Sale price tags for our Aussie Day Sale. 

Playing catch up

Now I should be up to date with the #FMSphotoaday challenge pictures. I have to say that it is quite easy to miss a day or two when you're busy with something else, but luckily it's fairly easy to make up for it. I am being easy on myself and giving me the freedom to use old photos when they suit the theme so that I don't always need to take them on the day. This makes it a more realistic goal which I will hopefully be able to follow through for the whole year. I tell you, I will be so proud of myself if and when I do!!!

Photo a day 20/365 - TO DO LIST

Two done, two pushed forward to tomorrow.

Photo a day 19/365 - BREAKFAST

I have to explain myself... This wasn't the actual breakfast but rather a mid-morning treat. The breakfast was oats with raspberries, mashed banana and natural yoghurt. That is not very photogenic so I opted to feature the chocolate squares instead!

The chocolate squares are home made and the tea is T2 Auyrvedic Passion.

Photo a day 18/365 - HAPPY PLACE

This is my happy place. A nice chair to sit on and surrounded by my projects. A cup of tea is missing but the Tea Cup Notepad Cover can make up for it!
