Living Arrows – 4/53 {2018}
Welcome back to another week of Living Arrows. I loved seeing everyone link up last week – and cannot wait to see the children grow through 2018.
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:
Adventures in Websterland
Glimmer of Hope
White Camellias
This week’s photos were taken on Saturday during a wet and rainy walk at a local National Trust site. The children were happy to get wrapped up and out of the house – especially with wellies on. We’re trying to get Little Man to do more ‘normal’ faces in photos rather than the many, many outtakes we get each time we try and take a photo. Staring eyes and cheesy grins a-plenty! Now, this is more like a lovely, normal, face.
And LP. So tiny still yet so grown up. She’s six going on sixteen and it’s so lovely watching her grow. She has a thoughtful, questioning mind and we have had some great conversations recently. I’m sure she’s going to spend life questioning everything around her.
I’m really looking forward to reading your posts this week. If you link up make sure to go and read some of the other posts and I’ll be commenting and sharing them through the course of the week. Thanks so much for taking part!

Ah Little Man looks so cute! I think Alice will also be a little girl who questions everything her whole life x
They look so alike in these pictures this week! Love the matching hats! And there is nothing better than a visit at a National Trust place! #LivingArrows
Thank you for featuring my photo this week ! I know what you mean about outtakes, I have millions on my camera. You have captured lovely photo’s of LP & Little Man this week, it sounds like you had a lovely day despite the rain. Have a great week x
Thank you for featuring my little bird watcher this week 🙂 Love the photos. They look so alike. My eldest (boy) also questions everything all the time. He is such an intense little boy… x
I love their coordinating coats and hats – so adorable!
We went through a stage where my son would always pull faces or do mad eyes for every shot, so I had to covertly capture him unawares.
I love their colourful hats! x
Ah they both look so cute! There’s nothing better than getting outside! Especially when wellies are involved! #livingarrows
Aw so many cute kiddies. Thanks for having us in your linky x
Gorgeous photos, love their hats!
I love their brightly coloured matching hats! They look super cosy

Lovely photos. I particularly love the hats, so cool! x
Thanks for hosting x
Gorgeous photos. We love National Trust walks too. My eldest is the same age as little man. We have lots if cheesy grins too.
Aww they look so sweet in their matching hats! Thanks for hosting:) x
I love their hats! Trying to get my three to smile nicely or stand nicely for a photo is hard work – they just want to dab all the time!
Lovely pictures. We’re going through the cheesy grin stage here too.
Fab photos – I love their hats! And I feel your pain with the silly faces 🙂
