Me and Mine: January 2014

I'm really excited to be taking part in the "Me and Mine" photo project this year. I take a lot of photos, and yet I have so few of us together as a family. Just the four of us, enjoying our little unit.

January for us is a lot about cosying up indoors... the weather this month has been horrendous, and while we've grabbed every outdoor opportunity for all its worth, we've spent a lot of time making indoor fun too.

And there's nothing better than cosying up for storytime. Both our girls love books, and Heidi's finally at an age where she's not just trying to eat them all the time! Reading is one of my life-loves, and its one we're working hard to pass on to our little ones...

Its not a perfect shot... the book is slightly out of focus - storytime is not exactly a sit perfectly still affair in our house! But its real - its a pretty good picture of where we're at at the moment.

So here you go - our January "Me and Mine" photo. Our little family, cosying up over a good book.

  2. I love that you said your photo is real, and where you are at the moment as a family. Because that's what it's all about really isn't it? Just capturing as you are right now and because we know it all changes so fast. We're a family of bookworms too and bedtime stories are a definite daily highlight, it's a good way to be if you ask me. x

  3. That is why I love this project, it helps us all capture the normal everyday things that are special to us. And get a proper photo of it! A lovely childhood ritual captured forever. So pleased you are joining in xx

  16. I have a small one who is very much in the 'books are for grabbing and eating' stage, so I'm very much looking forward to a nice family moment like this.
