It’s Sunday morning, and that can only mean one thing.

Time for another round up from my little Instagram community #ShowYouWereThere.

My first choice for this week is this stunning photo from Amy at very much so.

I just love everything about this photo, the location, the scale, the sunlight pouring through the trees.  Just gorgeous!

Next up is a lovely photo from Donna at what the redhead said.

I may be ever so slightly jealous of Donna and the other bloggers having had this fab weekend away in such a beautiful location!

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

I love the realness of this photo, the perfect imperfection that sort of sums up how it is to get out of the house with small children sometimes!

My last choice for this time is from Kerry at Kerry Louise Norris.

Simply because Disney!

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 asked Steve to take a couple of photos of me and Nerys out in the garden, and while he took some lovely ones of us looking straight at the camera I think this one of us looking at each other is my favourite.

We were rubbing noses which Nerys thought was hilarious, and when she gets the giggles I find it almost impossible not to start laughing too!

It’s Sunday morning, and that can only mean one thing.

Time for another round up from my little Instagram community #ShowYouWereThere.

My first pick for this week is this gorgeously vibrant photo from Lucy at Mrs H’s favourite things.

Is there anyone out there who doesn’t have the urge to sing the Mary Poppins classic at the slightest mention of flying kites?!

Next up is this fab mother and son selfie from Kayley at friendly first foods.  I just had to include those happy faces in this week’s round up!

My third choice is from Kay at Mummy Burgess.  Not only is this a gorgeous photo, but it also comes with a really lovely caption about being happy and content.

My last pick for this time is this brilliantly autumnal photo from Jaymee at The mum diaries.

This just brings back so many memories from my childhood, and makes me want to go and hunt out some good conkers with the children so we can have a play!

Thank you so much to everyone who is using #ShowYouWereThere and making sure they’re existing in photos with and for their children.  I love seeing your photos popping up over on Instagram!

Now my turn.

This was taken on a recent windy trip to the beach.  We hadn’t been down for a while and I think we were all in need of a good blast of sea air.  The children were a bit disappointed that it was too cold for them to go swimming though; they loved it so much in the summer.

We still had a lot of fun though, running away from the waves.  The tide was on its way in while we were there, and I always forget how quickly it comes in here in Swansea!

Time for another round up from my little Instagram community #ShowYouWereThere.

My first pick for this week is this gorgeous family photo from Katy at Hot Pink Wellingtons, with thanks to and then she clicked.

It is just such a stunning photo and the big genuine smiles are so contagious!

Next up is this brilliant dose of real life from Wendy at Naptime Natter.

I think we’ve all ended up like this at one point or another thanks to over-enthusiastic hugging haven’t we?!

My third choice is from Kirsty at Kirsty Ralph.

I just love this moment between Kirsty and her daughter, and the idea of the legend of Robin Hood being passed on to another generation.

My last pick for this time is from Amy at The smallest of things.

It’s just such a wonderfully happy photo, take a look at those matching smiles!

Time for another round up from my little Instagram community #ShowYouWereThere.

My first pick for this week is this lovely photo from Jen at Spoonfuls of glitter – I love the sound of the girly weekend she had with her daughter!

Next up is this summery shot from Elaine at Entertaining Elliot.  It’s felt so autumnal this past week, this sunny photo was a lovely reminder of how great this summer was!

My third choice is from Charlotte at Mummy Fever.  How amazing is that view?  I’ve never been up to North Wales but seeing this photo makes me really want to go and spend some time there!

My last pick for this time is this gorgeous photo from Amy at Very Much So Blog.

I just love this photo, and the message Amy shared with it – even big girls need help sometimes.  I’m 36 now and definitely still need my mum to lift me up and help me out!

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 for a lovely long walk through Parc Le Breos the other week.  While we were there we stopped to take some photos for the me and mine project, and Nerys and I snapped this one of the two of us together while we were at it.

If you look closely you can see that she has the remote trigger in her hand – she absolutely loves being the one to press it and take the photos when we’re out and about like this!

Time for another round up from my little Instagram community #ShowYouWereThere.

My first pick for this week is from Ruth at Mummy and the Mexicans.

This little bump photo just made me smile so much, especially when I read the caption saying that her 4 year old had taken it.

Next up is this lovely shot from Leah at Home Family Life.

I really love this moment that’s been captured, as if Leah and Tommy weren’t really aware the photo was being taken.

My third choice is from Sabrina at The Mummy Stylist.

Sabrina’s photos are always just so much fun and this one is no exception.  I love all their hats and the expression on her son’s face, just so happy!

My last pick for this time is from Alex at That Butterfly Effect.

This is another photo that is just so joyful I couldn’t not include it in this round up!  Look at all those happy faces, just perfect!

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.

My mum has always said that she can tell when a photo of me was taken by Steve, because of the way I’m smiling.

Looking at this photo that he took of me recently, I think I know what she means!

Time for another round up from my little Instagram community #ShowYouWereThere.

In the spirit of the #bemorewitwitwoo tag that has been created in the last week after the sudden passing of Kate from Wit Wit Woo, this week I’m sharing some photos from people being themselves, celebrating their beautiful bodies, having fun, and generally being a bit more wit wit woo.

My first pick is from Lucy at Mrs H’s favourite things.

There is just so much joy, and colour, and life in this photo, I absolutely love it.

Next up is this fab #swimsuitselfie from Donna at What the Redhead Said.

You might have seen a whole host of photos of people in their swimsuits yesterday, in honour of Kate’s many messages of body positivity that she shared with the world.  This photo from Donna, and the caption she wrote to go with it, captures what so many people are feeling right now.

My third choice is this wonderfully fun photo from Jacqueline from Jac|Sweet life in Melbourne.

I dare you to look at this photo and not smile!

My last pick for this time is from Lianne at Ankle Biters Adventures.

I just think this is such a lovely photo of Lianne and her family, and her message is a timely reminder to all of us to look past the imperfections that we think are there in the way we look and instead see the moment that’s been captured, the memory that’s been recorded for our families in years to come.

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.

This photo was taken last Friday evening when we popped down to the beach after the children had eaten their tea.  They had a great time swimming even though it was a bit cooler than it has been recently, and I loved having a little paddle and taking far too many photos of them.

I’m getting pretty good though at handing the camera over for a few minutes and getting Steve to take a few quick photos of me as well!

Time for another round up from my little Instagram community #ShowYouWereThere.

My first pick is from Jo at Pickle and Poppet.  It’s such a lovely photo, and a caption all about parenting guilt that I think every one of us can relate to.

Next up is this gorgeous family photo from Amy at Very Much So.

I think we all have this idea that the perfect family photo involves every family member looking at the camera and smiling, but honestly, I think photos like this are often my favourites, when they show that little bit more character!

My third choice is this wonderfully colourful photo from Jodie at Dear Little Daisy.

This picture just makes me smile so much, and crave candy floss just a little bit, and would you ever believe that Jodie feels awkward being in front of the camera?

My last pick for this time is from Wendy at Naptime Natter.

Now I’m a bit biased seeing as this was taken in my neck of the woods, but isn’t this just a gorgeous photo, especially with the gorgeous Wendy absolutely rocking her bikini!  I love her message of body confidence in the caption too.

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.

This was taken a few weeks ago now, on another of our regular trips to Swansea bay.

I bought myself a couple of new hats recently, and I’m so glad I did it.  I find that the skin along my parting burns ridiculously easily, so I have to be really careful in the hot, sunny weather.  I’ve been really getting my money’s worth out of this hat in particular these last few weeks!
