It’s Sunday, which can only mean one thing around here – time for another round up from my lovely little Instagram community #ShowYouWereThere.
In case you’ve not heard about it before, #ShowYouWereThere is all about getting more parents in more photos. So any photos that feature you, or your partner, in some way, shape or form then just tag them with #ShowYouWereThere when you share them on Instagram to join in, and potentially be featured in one of these little round ups!
Now, on to my four favourite photos that were shared in the last week.
My first pick is from Lucy at Mrs H’s Favourite Things. It’s such a sweet mother/daughter photo, but more than that, I really admire Lucy’s openness and honesty in her captions. CBT is something I’ve been looking in to, as I think it might help with my anxiety, so it’s really good to know that Lucy is finding it helpful.
My next pick for this week is from Alex at That Butterfly Effect.
Well done to her son, this is such a gorgeous photo, and I love how Alex wrote in her caption that when she looks at it what really shines through for her is happiness, because that’s what I see too. I love photos where there’s a real connection between the person in front of the camera and the person behind it!
Slight change in pace with my third pick for this week! This photo from Elaine at Entertaining Elliot just really made me laugh. I think we’ve all been there haven’t we, trying to get a ‘nice’ photo with our children!
My final choice this week is from Wendy at Naptime Natter.
What can I say, I really can’t resist a photo of a baby-wearing mama!
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.
Nerys and I went out for a quick trip to Cwmdonkin Park yesterday, and ended up staying and playing for nearly 3 hours. She pushed her Elsa doll on the swings, went on zip wire and whizzed down the big slide. We went to the little cafe and ate welsh cakes and brownies. We played hide and seek in the play park that has very few good places to hide in it. And we took photos.
So often I get too nervous and self-conscious to take these kinds of photos, using the timer function on the camera to run into the frame. But I’m so pleased I got over it and grabbed this picture yesterday!
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.
Awwww, thanks so much for featuring my (ie my son’s) photo, Madeleine ? he was so pleased with himself when I told him that other people loved his photography skills ? Well done to everyone else for getting featured – great choices! Xx
