It’s Sunday, it’s almost the end of the month, and it’s time for another #ShowYouWereThere round up.

In case you’ve not heard of it before, Show You Were There is my little Instagram community all about getting more parents in more photos, both with and for their children.  If you want to get involved then all you need to do is use #ShowYouWereThere on any photos that feature you in some way, I’d love to see more people joining in!

My first choice for this month’s round up is from Kirsty.

I just love how bright and light this photo is, along with the caption that is so simple and sweet.

The second photo that I’ve chosen for this month’s round up is from Mary at Over 40 and Mum to One.

I really love photos like this that have a creative slant on getting in front of the camera!

Next up is this gorgeous family photo from Laura at Dear Bear and Beany.

Laura’s girls always have such big, beautiful smiles in her photos, they always make me smile too!

My final pick for this month’s round up is from Chloe at Just the Three of Us, it sort of sums up some of the craziness of the situation we’re all in at the moment to me!

Thank you so much to everyone who is using #ShowYouWereThere, I love seeing your photos popping up over on Instagram, they always make me smile so much.

Now my turn.

We went out for a walk/scoot round the park for Rhys’ birthday, and I got Steve to take this photo for me part way round.  It’s only just hitting me that the children are 6 and 9 now, it feels like it’s crept up on me!

I know February is a short month, but this just feels a bit ridiculous.  Thanks to the way the days and weeks have fallen today is the last Sunday of the month so I’m posting my round up for Show You Were There, and it just feels so soon after writing January’s.

In case you’ve not heard of it before, Show You Were There is my little Instagram community all about getting more parents in more photos, both with and for their children.  If you want to get involved then all you need to do is use #ShowYouWereThere on any photos that feature you in some way, I’d love to see more people joining in!

My first choice for this month’s round up is from Lauren at Scrapbook Blog.

Some of my favourite photos of my husband and our children are ones like this, taken from behind with them walking away, so this one from Lauren just jumped out at me in my Insta feed.

The second photo that I’ve chosen for this month’s round up is from Donna at What the Redhead Said.

It’s just such a lovely photo, taken on what sounded like a really lovely day out.  And how amazing are the children’s hats?!

Next up is this beautifully coordinated family photo from Leah at Home Family Life.

I just love how all her boys look in their matching outfits!

My final pick for this month’s round up is from Mary at Over 50 and a Mum to One.

I love that Mary and her son have this special spot, and that they made a point of taking a photo together there!

Thank you so much to everyone who is using #ShowYouWereThere, I love seeing your photos popping up over on Instagram, they always make me smile so much.

Now my turn.

A few weeks ago we took a very windy walk along the beach with the children.

While we were there I got Steve to take quite a few photos of me, so that I could use them for my photography business.  What I love is that along with the photos I specifically asked for, he took lots of other shots too, so I had a big selection to choose from and great photos like this one just to make me smile.

I know a lot of people feel that January seems to go on forever, but it feels like it’s flown by to me.  I can’t quite believe that we’re already at the last Sunday of the month and that it’s time for my first round up of #ShowYouWereThere for the year.

In case you’ve not come across it before, #ShowYouWereThere is all about getting more parents in more photos, both with and for our children.

If you’d like to join in then just use that hashtag on any photo that features you (or another grown up who’s important to your child) in some way.

My first pick for this round up is this gorgeous photo from Wendy at Naptime Natter.

Firstly because that smile on her daughter’s face is just beautiful, and secondly because it’s a great example of how you don’t always have to show your face to be present in photos with your children!

Next up is this chilly-looking photo from Maria at Suburban Mum.

It’s made me feel like I need to get out to some more picturesque places this year!

My third pick this time is from Kim at OddHogg.

I love this photo of Kim and her son, but also feel her pain about how tricky it can be to take children places like the dentist!

My last choice for this round up is from Nicola at Mummy to Dex.

It’s such a lovely photo, with the colour-coordinated outfits!  And if anyone has any advice for Nicola on helping little ones nap when they’re at nursery pop over and leave her a comment!

Thank you so much to everyone who is using #ShowYouWereThere, I love seeing your photos popping up over on Instagram, they always make me smile so much.

Now my turn.

Steve took this photo of me when we were in Bluestone recently, and I love it in all its imperfections.  The sun is too bright on my face and I’m almost make-up free and dishevelled from being out in the wind and it’s a wonderful reminder of a day spent simply having fun with my family.

We’ve come to the end of November, and it’s Sunday, so that means it’s time for another round up from my little Instagram community #ShowYouWereThere.

In case you’ve not come across it before, #ShowYouWereThere is all about getting more parents in more photos, both with and for our children.

My first pick for this round up is from Laura at Dear Bear and Beany.

I love this photo of Laura and her girls, and hope they’re all feeling well again!

Next up is this lovely photo of Lucy from Mrs H’s favourite things.

Lucy is such a beautiful person and I really love the message she’s shared in this caption about taking time to really look at ourselves and appreciate our own beauty, rather than always looking out for our perceived flaws.

My third pick this time is from Laura at Laura’s lovely blog.

This is such a lovely photo of Laura, and a lovely reminder in the caption that it’s ok to have hard days as parents, especially at this time of year when everyone seems to be falling ill.

My last choice for this round up is from Jules at Pondering Parenthood.

This is such a joyful family photo, taken by Beth Moseley.  I would absolutely be framing this one if I were Jules!

Thank you so much to everyone who is using #ShowYouWereThere, I love seeing your photos popping up over on Instagram, they always make me smile so much.

Now my turn.

I had the camera out with us on our walk in Clyne Woods yesterday, to take our family photos for the me and mine project.  So I made a point of handing it over to Steve at one point for him to take a few photos of me.

I always love the photos that he takes of me, mainly because he knows just how to make me laugh and then smile naturally as he snaps away!

In case you’ve not come across it before, #ShowYouWereThere is all about getting more parents in more photos, both with and for our children.

My first pick for this round up is from Nicola at Mummy to Dex.

I love this picture, and it made me smile even more when I read at the bottom of the caption that it was taken on a different day to the one that Nicola was writing about.  Something about that just sums up life as a busy parent to me!

Next up is this lovely photo from Kim at Odd Hogg.

We’re on half term next week and I’m really looking forward to the break from routine, so it’s interesting to hear the other side of that from the point of view of someone who really needs to keep some sort of structure and routine.

Also, how amazing is Kim’s hoodie!

My third pick this time is this gorgeous photo from Sabrina at The mummy stylist.

I love this moment that’s been captured, I think it’s a pretty familiar one to us parents!

My last choice for this round up is from Chloe at just the three of us.

This is just such a lovely photo of Chloe and her children, and the location is beautiful!

My first pick for this round up is from the lovely Alex at bump to baby.

The tones in this photo are just gorgeous and the country park looks like an amazing place to go for a walk and spend some time out in nature.

Next up is this sunny photo from Laura at dear bear and beany.

It’s such a lovely photo of Laura and her girls, and almost hard to believe it was taken so recently when it’s been so chilly and wet here this week!

My third pick this time is from Lauren at scrapbook blog.

I just love this throwback to the summer, with its camping vibes, sandals and water pistols!

My last choice for this round up is from Laura at dinky pix.

It’s another gorgeously summery photo, but with a caption that got me quite emotional with Laura writing about her son heading off to big school for the first time.

Thank you so much to everyone who is using #ShowYouWereThere, I love seeing your photos popping up over on Instagram, they always make me smile so much.

Now my turn.

At the end of the summer holidays we went for a walk round Penllergare valley woods and I got Steve to take a few photos of me with the children when we stopped for a little sit down.

I love this one of the three of us giggling at who knows what, most likely Steve saying something silly from behind the camera to get us laughing!

My first pick for this round up is from Lucy at Mrs H’s favourite things.

I absolutely love the joy in these photos, and am so happy for Lucy to have these of her with her two children when it’s something that doesn’t happy all that often!

Next up is this brilliant family photo from Vicky at Team Triffic.

I just love all the different expressions on their faces, especially the very serious look her daughter is going for!

My third pick this time is from Leah at Home Family Life.

There were 2 lovely photos I was trying to choose between from Leah, and I hope she doesn’t mind that I picked this one which isn’t as polished as the other one.  This photo is just perfect to me.

My last choice for this round up is from Wendy at Naptime Natter.

It’s just such a gorgeous photo of her with her beautiful Tilly.

Thank you so much to everyone who is using #ShowYouWereThere, I love seeing your photos popping up over on Instagram, they always make me smile so much.

Now my turn.

A few weeks ago we went for our standard walk/play on the beach at Swansea bay.  I asked Steve to take a few photos of me and this one is one of my favourites.

I think I’m laughing at the children playing behind the camera, but honestly I could just be laughing at Steve telling me to pretend to be laughing at the children playing behind the camera.

Either way, the smile is genuine and I love it!
