It was Charles' turn to take home the class mascot this week. Having Kevin and Keith with us midweek meant I felt kind of under pressure to do something exciting and other than Charles going to his friends for a playdate we had nothing else happen.....until it snowed on Thursday! Wooohooo! Although I hate the snow I was quite glad that it meant we could put somet…
Read moreThis weeks photo is awful. I hold my hands up and admit that. Last week was tough with Charles being sent home from school poorly and Harry had his preschool vaccinations which went well until he got a temperature and felt poorly towards the end of the week. However, I'm not going to fail at this project and despite it being a pants photo it actually means a lot…
Read moreI'm not usually one to use photos taken on my phone for projects like this. I like to feel all official by using my DSLR. However, after looking at photos taken on my phone during a beach trip last week I actually realised that the quality isn't too bad. And it seemed silly to not include this photo of Charles. Sometimes I wish I was a child, and playful and…

I really love this project, to the point that I feel kind of obsessed over it really. When I was going over my favourites from last year I noticed that I had a few more of Harry than I did of Charles. It wasn…
Read more40. Charles had a trip to Tesco with his school. They looked at how bread is made as well as other produce. He found it really interesting and especially loved the hats they were given to decorate. 41. This reminds me so much of when we used to breastfeed. Me laying on my side and Harry relaxed next to me. We were just having a cuddle after bath-time and the cat e…
Read more17. This photo was taken after our first night on the boat. It was cold, and we hadn't had the best night sleep so the boys were warming themselves up with a hot chocolate. I wanted to play with the light and to work with having a darker feel to a photo and this one came out better than I envisaged. It's one I'm really proud of. 18. I'm not su…
Read moreWe have only one week left of Living Arrows 2014. I have loved being a part of this project, and feel so proud to have actually completed it! Never a missed week, maybe the odd panic and almost late, last minute photo, but still sent on time and true of our week. I love looking back at the photos, and knowing the story behind them. Sometimes you can look a…
