My challenge for 2013 is to get a family photo every single month.
Photos of us as a family are pretty thin on the ground
and this makes me really sad.
Especially as I know it will be photos of us all together
which we will treasure the most in passing years.
Putting the photos on my blog is a good incentive to keep me committed to it.
And after mentioning my plans to some other people
it seemed that there are a lot of parents out there
who also want to take more family photos.
So I decided to invite some other lovely photo bloggers along for the ride,
and on the final day of each month we will be sharing the photos we got
and a little bit about what our family has been up to that month.
And just to bring a little bit more fun to the party,
we will be sending you around in a little circle
so that you get to see what January looked like for seven different families.
We hope you'll enjoy being sent from blog to blog
and getting to hopefully meet some new people
and enjoy some lovely photos and blogs along the way.

So when you've been through all seven
and ended up back where you started,
why not link up your own family photo.
I'm sending you off to visit Becky and her lovely family at The Ar-Blog,
go and check out her blog;
it's utterly charming and packed full of gorgeous photos.
If it isn't already on your regular reads list then it really should be.

So, you've seen Me and Mine
now we want to see you and yours . . .

ReplyDeleteHooray indeed. And thank-you. x
DeleteGorgeous photos! I love this project! Thank you for thinking of it! x x x
ReplyDeleteAhh thanks. And thank-you for taking part. X
DeleteLovely snowy shots, and I'm loving the array of different hats! : )
ReplyDelete(I really need to see Les Miserables!)
Thanks, January was all about snow for me. And snow definitely means wooly hats. X
DeleteLucy these photos are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis was such a great idea of yours and I hope lots of people join in.
I'm intrigued by Beautiful Boys poo dance! ha! x
Thanks Lauren. And thanks for being involved too.
DeleteThe poo dance is very funny. Lots of wiggling and foot stomping. Hilarious! x
What a fab idea, I am always the one behind the camera, must do this more often
ReplyDeleteIt's just too easy to stay behind the camera and photograph the children. And I know they'll want to see our terrible hair dos and atrocious fashion sense in years to come. x
DeleteGorgeous family photo. We will deffo be linking up :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. And pleased to see your photos linked up too! X
DeleteI love this idea so much, such a fab idea, we only have 2 family pictures, one before Addy was born and one since Addy, it always upsets me we don't have more.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous pictures, so pretty and everyday, love x
Ahhh, you'll have to join in next month Kara. Family photos are the treasures of tomorrow. God, that sounds so cheesy. x
DeleteGorgeous photos, I love them all so I can see why it was hard to pick just one. I also love how everyone has written a bit about what they are liking, I will have to try that this month! Thanks for all the hard work, it is such a great idea.
ReplyDeletex
Awww, thank-you hun. And thanks for agreeing to be a part of it too. X
DeleteThese photos are so great! I know how hard it is to get decent family pics with little ones. I love this challenge! I will definitely have to participate next month. You have a beautiful family :-)
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank-you. It's hard work getting a nice one of everyone, but so worth it I think. x
DeleteI LOVE this! I managed to get a family shot of us at the beginning of the new year and was so pleased. I think I might have to challenge myself too. I am SO bad of getting behind the camera!
ReplyDeleteAhhh thank-you. You should join in with the project.
DeleteI tend to hide behind the camera A LOT! And I just felt like it was time to change that. x
Love the pictures! Beautiful boy's cheesy grin is wonderful - almost as good as his stripy suit ! love it
ReplyDeleteThanks. He does have a good grin on him these days. Although I sometimes wish he wouldn't pose quite so much. x
DeleteAww gorgeous photos. This challenge has made me get the first photo of the 4 of us together! x
ReplyDeleteThank-you. And I'm so glad this little project made you take your first family photo. That's so exciting. And how lovely to think you'll have 12 by the end of the year. X
DeleteThis is so so cute! Love the idea!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks so much. X
DeleteI keep reading through everyone's posts. This is such a fab idea Lucy! Totally inspired :) You are the most sytlishly dressed mum in the snow I've seen too :) B x
ReplyDeleteAhhhh thanks Becky. I'm so glad you came along for the ride on this project. I'm so excited about it. x
DeleteBeautiful photos and a really great idea, we've been meaning to get a family photo for ages!
ReplyDeleteI think that most of us intend to take family photos, we just end up forgetting. I'm glad this project gave me a kick up the bottom! X
Deletewhat a lovely idea, ran out of time to do one this month but it's certainly on my list of things to do for february
ReplyDeleteThat's cool, I think it was tough with the time left to get a January one in. Looking forward to seeing you for February. X
