It is another gorgeous Sunday here in Swansea.
I’m writing this with all the windows wide open and the washing machine going with another load to hang on the line. We might head out to the beach or the park later, or maybe just hang out in the garden.
For now though, it’s time for a little round up of my Instagram community #ShowYouWereThere.
My first pick this week is from Emma at Ready Freddie Go and it’s just a photo full of happiness.
The gorgeous smiles match the gorgeous wisteria perfectly!
Next up is a photo with a simple but powerful message, from Tasha at Winging this Mum life.
I realised while going through the feed for #ShowYouWereThere that for some reason I wasn’t following Tasha, but I changed that straight away after a quick browse through her feed. Go check it out, it’s gorgeous!

It’s back to happy smiles and beautiful flowers for my next pick, from Nikki at Tinker and Totsy.
I really love this family photo and it always makes me happy reading about strangers doing nice things, even when it’s something relatively small like offering to take a photo for someone else.
It’s more wisteria for my fourth pick for this week, with Katy from Hot Pink Wellingtons.
Katy’s beautiful feed is full of spring colours at the moment and I just love it. And now I really want to try and find somewhere near me with wisteria growing like this!
I normally pick just four photos each time for my round ups, but I just have to squeeze this extra one in this time.
This picture from Hannah at Hannah Tasker just really made me smile when I saw it. And I love Hannah’s message in the caption about how important it is to look for and focus on all the positives in photos of ourselves.
Thank you so much to everyone who is using #ShowYouWereThere, I love seeing your photos popping up over on Instagram, they always bring a huge smile to my face!
Now, my turn.
Last weekend when we had the glorious weather for the bank holiday, we popped down to the beach a couple of times.
The second time we went we were fully prepared for the children to splash around in the sea. And they had an absolute blast. And even I got tempted in for a paddle and a bit of jumping and splashing around!

If you’d like to join in with my little community and possibly be featured in my next round up (with a nice link back to your blog!) then just share a photo of yourself over on instagram using #ShowYouWereThere. It’s all about getting more parents in more photos. And if you’d like to take part in my guest post series ‘The photo I’m thankful for‘ then take a look at this post or email me at thisgloriouslife@gmail.com for more information.
