Photo A Day Challenge // Week 21

Howdy!

Today I’m heading off and away to DISNEYLAND. I am so excited, and nervous about flying so far with kids. I’m trying to be all zen-mama and be totally cool with being in a confined space with small children for so long. I’ll report back from the other side.

Until then, I bring you the new list for the week ahead. I am looking forward to sharing photos from our trip, which will really mix it up a bit for me. But it’s not just about me {ha!}, how will you mix things up a bit yourself?

This week’s list is brought to us by Billy & Scarlet who do the most beautiful watercolour prints over at Down That Little Lane. You need to check out her amazing work here. A big thank you to Jillian for sharing your amazing talent with us.

Below you’ll find all the details you need for playing along with photo a day. It’s so easy, but if you have any questions… throw them in the comments below and I’ll get back to you.

How to play on Instagram

+ check out the photo a day list for the daily prompt
+ use your phone or camera to take a photo using the prompt as inspiration
+ upload the photo to Instagram, add a caption {you could mention the day and the prompt in the caption}, add the hashtag #FMSphotoaday and then publish.

+ check out the #fmsphotoaday hashtag to see all the other photos. Like them. Comment on them. Be part of the community.

+ Each day a Fab Four is picked from the photos shared on Instagram for the challenge. It’s four photos that have captured my attention from each prompt. Check my feed {@fatmumslim} to see the photos.

How to play on Facebook

How to remember what the prompts are
