Tales of the unexpected with The Boy, my pride and joy.
We're coming up to five years of celebrating Father's Day for Mr. TBaM and, just as every single day he's a daddy is magical, it is wonderful to have one day of acknowledging how important he is to The Boy and quite frankly just how damn good he is at it.
I must confess though that we're now getting to the point where there's only so many photo mugs he can have. We need a little bit of something different this year, and so I have a little round-up of some fabulous gift ideas.
… DIY.
… country cottage cuts.
Welcome to 365 Photo A Day Project linky. This linky covers round-up posts for the week or one of your favourite photos of the week. I've written a post providing tips for completing the project, always ask one of the regulars for help if you're stuck.
The 365 linky only works because of people linking to it and then contributing their thoughts to others' posts via comments. I can't emphasise this enough, it's the whole point of the linky!
Join in by entering the URL of your favourite photograph of the week (either a 52 or a 365 photo) and show some comment love to everyone else in the community. We've got a Facebook group, and now I've created a collaborative Pinterest board (if you'd like to collaborate, let me know and I'll add you).
152. Neptune's Lair (We had our first day at Legoland where we explored some of our favourite rides, Atlantis is one of them. We didn't turn up until 3pm giving us another three hours there, but finding most people were leaving because they were hot and bothered. Excellent!)
153. Walking Bricks (Doesn't everyone have a walking Lego brick as a friend? I've also been playing with the editing functions on Snapseed, I have fallen in love with it!)
154. Shattered (Two busy days in Legoland, a day back in school, and unsurprisingly he slept like the proverbial. Been a while since I posted a sleeping child photo!)
155. Graduate (Next step in decorating The Boy's bedroom; the dark blue down to sky blue for the space scene.)
156. Stormy Skies (We were heading to the clifftop park after tea when we spotted that there was a mud-dredger on the beach. It turns out it was deliberately beached while they needed to do emergency repairs, but it attracted a lot of attention. We had a good old play around under some thunderous looking clouds before heading to the park as promised.)
157. Leap (The most enormous jump for after-school fun in the garden with the bubble rocket launcher. Slightly Matrix-esque like jump?)
158. Light Of My Life (I made him. Simple.)

I used to love making peg dolls as a child, and would frequently make small versions of family members for them. We were recently given a couple of traditional wooden pegs and The Boy instantly pretended it was a person with legs; the perfect opportunity to create a mini-me with him.
Since The Boy started school in September, I've done my utmost to make lunches a fun and enticing thing. Without me there to cajole him into eating everything, I felt it was important to make eating his food an exciting an activity as chatting to his friends around him; it's the main reason that I make him Bento lunchboxes.
He's very fond of having different shaped lunchboxes and lunchbags, and when we were sent the Flatbox lunchbox for him to review, it soon usurped his other lunchbags as his favourite.

As one of the top children's festivals around, LolliBop offers something for every child. We have been for the past two years and it remains the best day trip we have during the Summer holidays, mainly because of the huge range of activities and shows that The Boy can take part in and watch, all in one day!
This year sees LolliBop in a new home, Hatfield House in Hertfordshire. The new venue is completely befitting such a magical event and will be the perfect place to watch the wonderful line-up planned.
