This month has been so, so summery and we've all been loving it. You won't ever find our little crew complaining about a heatwave; we loved our little slice of the tropics in June. It's meant maximum time outside... made all the sweeter by actually having our own outside space this summer. It's meant barbecues and paddling pools, ice creams and beach trips, time with friends and family. And in between we've continued to slowly but surely chip away at various house jobs we want to do. 

I have to say that I absolutely LOVE our family photos this month. It was one of those times where everything went in our favour. As we climbed out of the car for an afternoon stroll on the beach, it was trying to rain and Rich was already starting to moan about why we couldn't just take photos at home again like we did last month. But by the time we'd crossed the road, and our feet hit sad (and shoes were quickly abandoned for a bit of toes in the sand time) the drizzle had eased off, and our little photoshoot meets play on the beach ended up being so easy and breezy. I do so love it when a plan comes together. Especially when it results in happy pictures of my little crew in our favourite place. 

Can I also say, I didn't even notice that we were all wearing blue and white until we got home. So many people comment on the fact that we always look so coordinated for our Me and Mine Project photos, and yes that is sometimes intentional. But on this occasion it was pure fluke. Just another thing that just happened to go in my favour with this months photos. 

And a special mention goes to the last photo in this post... because we really are that crazy bonkers family getting far too into taking photos sometimes. We tend to find that building in a couple of silly photos keeps the kids interested, and normally they are blurry or weird and never see the light of day. But I like our silly snap this month. Because looking at it now, I can completely see why on a practically deserted beach we caught the attention and laughs of more than a few dog walkers. They were probably wondering what on earth we were doing. Although I did see one little family who had stopped and smiled at us, setting up their own little family snap a little further down the beach later on; so I'm pretty proud that we inspired someone else to take a family snap that they might not have done otherwise. 
 ^ I mean, how perfectly beautiful is this place? How could it not be our favourite?



I can't wait to see what you all have to share this month, and make sure you pop by my cohosts (Alex, Charlotte, Fritha, Jenny, Katie and Lucy) to see what they've been up to this month too.

  6. OH MY GOODNESS LOVE LOVE THESE! MY favorite by far and I hope you blow them up and framer them all. These are stunning. The kids look so summery and grown up. Your smile in every photo screams happiness with your gorgeous crew here Lucy. What a beautiful beach and huts to make memories at. Wish we had ones like this up north. We definitely need a beach day next time I visit. Looks like the kids can run and be free for miles in the sand too. Happy July ahead for you all and a happy summer together.

  14. I think there's something about time spent at the beach. Relaxing and fun the photos capture a moment and you soak in the memory of it when you browse the photos again. Definitely ones to print for sunny reminders on grey rainy days. Our June memories are from the beach too. Oh how I'd love one of those beach huts!
