Living Arrows – 11/52 {2017}
Welcome back to another week of Living Arrows. I am loving how many people have decided to make Living Arrows a part of their blogging routine for 2017, it is so lovely to have you all here. It’s definitely one of my favourite parts of each week!
If you haven’t joined in with Living Arrows before it’s is about celebrating childhood. The project originally took it’s name from a poem by Kahlil Gibran, “You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth” and every Monday we share a moment from our week and invite others to do the same as part of this linky.
Each week I share two pictures from our week – one of each of our children – but you can share one or more pictures that capture a moment of childhood. The following week I’ll share my three favourite photos from the week before, linking back to the owner’s blogs.
So if you would like to link up, grab a badge and post around a photo of childhood from the previous week. I look forward to reading your posts and make sure you visit a few of the other posts that have linked up and leave a comment too!
Here are a few of my favourite photos from last week:

The Less-Refined Mind
This week’s photos were taken just on a day at home before school one morning. LP usually hates the camera at the moment, refusing to have photos taken, but she asked me to take photos of her with her toy – and I was happy to oblige. Look at that naturally happy face!
Little Man is a blogger in the making. He has been taking photos of everything with his Thomas camera – it’s a ‘proper’ camera that takes film but I doubt we will ever put film in it!
I’m really looking forward to reading your posts this week. If I thought a lot of people joined in for the first week then I was amazed at the amount that joined last week! I’m going to keep commenting on all of the posts that link up and sharing my favourite photos each week. Thanks so much for taking part and for adding to this great little community we’re creating – make sure to go and comment on a few other posts at some point during the week too.

They both look so happy, I love Little Man’s cheeky smile behind the camera, such a cute camer too!
Look how happy LP is, she looks more and more like you. Watch out Little Man will be taking over your blog before you know it 🙂 x
I dread the day my children don’t want their photo’s taken anymore. You have to respect their decision though don’t you. Little mans Thomas camera is ace, my kids have a chunky digital one which constantly needs emptying of floor, ceiling and toy photo’s. Have a lovely week x
I love that picture of LM with his camera – you’re right though, putting film in it would probably be a bit of a waste at the moment!
Love that shot of Martyn’s – he looks very pleased with his meal. It’s lovely when you get really natural photos of them. Thanks for hosting.
LP is growing up so quickly. Little Man’s smile behind the camera is so beautiful. Thanks for hosting again x
Drives me nuts when they don’t want their photo taken. My little boy is always happy to comply, but at 8, I am wary about what I post. Little miss is stubborn, so I tend to get candid ones of her and my oldest rarely lets me. I hope LP grows out of it. I absolutely love that camera. We got cameras for all of the kids for their christmas, they love them and have taken some great little shots. x
I love your photos this week! Gorgeous smile your girl has and super cute that Little Man seems to be following in your footsteps!
Thanks so much for featuring me and for hosting x
My eldest can be like this with the camera, one minute she loves it and the next she doesn’t want any photos at all but when you do you get these lovely natural smiles. She looks so happy here x
Aww I love that your little boy enjoys taking photos! You should put a film in and see what snaps he gets. Isn’t it funny how children suddenly done like having their photo taken anymore. My toddler sometimes refuses too.

LP certainly does look so happy and natural and I love the picture of LM with his camera. BattleKid never puts his down once he spots it. We did put a memory card in it but I haven’t gone through it yet. I’m sure there will be some funny ones in there!
I love his photo with the camera – you’ve got a trainee!
Oh bless her, Izzie has a love hate relationship with having her photo taken too. Gorgeous smiles 🙂
Look at Little Man following mummy’s footsteps 🙂 LP looks so happy with her toy. We have to catch them when they let us for sure. I’m having that here too. Thank you for hosting x
Love your photos this week, they both seem so happy! I am dreading the day that my girls don’t want their photo taken. Lyra is going through a phase where she pulls this crazy cheesy smile if I want a photo and that’s bad enough. Love Little Man and his camera too! x
They both look really happy with their toys! Great choice of photos from fellow bloggers too!
I love his little camera, definitely a blogger in the making. G loves carrying his around too and snapping anything. #livingarrows
I love when my two naturally smile for the camera, it’s so much nicer isn’t it! xx
I love your pics for this week and that photo of Little Man is so precious! x
