Did you jump #inthepicture with the kidlets this month? I did! I mean, I didn’t actually get a photo with all the kids at the same time, but I did manage to get a few with one or two of them and it was dark on all occasions so you can barely see me anyway. That works for me!
I thought it might be fun to have a little photo game each month, to encourage us to be creative and go beyond the ‘standard’ line up photos. I thought by nominating some ideas it will teach us to capture the essence of ‘mum’, rather than worry about how our hair looks in a photo.
Are you in? Here’s what it looks like for the next three months. Get creative with the theme each month but don’t forget to snap the standards too. Kids love the standards.
Please share this image wherever you can to encourage other mums to join in!
You can upload your shots here each month, the link below is open until the next link opens on 10/7. You can also tag photos on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter with #inthepicture and I’ll find them and load them here for you. Too easy!
This month, let’s take pictures of our hands doing handy kinds of things with the kids. When you think about it, a mother’s hands are just as precious as her smile. Hands that soothe, hands the create, hands that bake, hands that clean and clean and clean and hands the help. Show me how your own hands mother this month!
Do you like the idea of a monthly challenge?

Glow is a really good theme, Shannon. The kids thought it was the bees, so that’s the result we’re after.
Please join in with #inthepicture. I am so happy that we started it and I have at least 10 photos this year of me with my kids that I would definitely not have had if I hadn’t had that moment a few months ago… x

Literally glowing!
I love the idea of hands…so true that they do so much…I will be joining in for sure!
And how gorgeous are moms? All so beautiful.

I love the idea of a monthly challenge. I like any excuse that reminds me to take more #inthepicture shots! I just wish this month’s prompt was “tongue”. My toddler tornado is going through a ‘sticking out his tongue for every photo’ stage. He’s a regular Miley Cyrus…
Lisa@RandomActsOfZen says
Just look at all that beautiful fabulousness! x
Ashlea @ Glamour Coastal Living says
Love it! So wonderful to see so many Mums getting in the picture! What a wonderful inspiration you are – making awareness and now Mums may actually have their pics taken and appear in family photo albums etc! superstar x
Natalie @ our parallel connection says
Love the glow
Rachael says
Bron, I didn’t get in a photo this month :(. But I did read your lovely reminder & post moons ago (think Mrs Woogs shared it), was a fan of the idea and it had been a lovely wake up call for me. I have been so guilty and judgemental of myself too, I rarely jump in. Your little challenge sounds great, looking forward to it! Rachael
Emily @ Have A Laugh On Me says
I love being in the picture so much and my kids will adore it when I’m an old fart I’m sure! x
Kelly Exeter says
Love these pics so much!! Literally glowing Bron you gorgeous thing (I miss you!).
And gosh I’ve been bad at getting in the picture this last month. MUST TRY HARDER!!!
Maxabella says
Please try harder. I know you like having your photo taken about as much as I do, but it is so worth it, Kel. x
Karin @ Calm to Conniption says
I remembered this month! The munchkins and I love time in front of the photo booth app.
