Regular readers will know that I am a bit of a girly, girl. I like skiing, beaches and nice days out but would never have considered myself as outdoorsy before. However, as children come along and they grow older you start to think about the type of life you want them to have and try different things. You also notice fresh air makes them behave better!
Since Christmas we have been trying really hard to stay fit, healthy and germ free…..and it appears to be working. We have been eating really well (healthy, home cooked food), taking vitamins, spending lots of time outside and every weekend have gone on a mini family outdoors adventure. The whole family are enjoying it.
This means there's been plenty of opportunities for family photos too. Here's February's:
I love the fact the girls are filthy after rolling down hills, splashing in puddles and running up and down trails. It shows off this new side to our family perfectly. I know as the weather gets better they will be back in pretty little dresses but until then it's coats, wellies, and windswept hair.
Can't wait to see yours.
