Snapshots & Scenes from August

Fun with the Little Ones, Kids' Corner

Although I love watching my children play, chat, fight and interact with each other, I have always stuck to just observing them quietly or taking photos of them. I have some little videos, but not that many. Three months ago,  a group of fab creative bloggers and I came up with Snapshots & Scenes, a monthly project focusing on video and photos. The idea is simple: as you are enjoying the little moments with your family, record them on film or on camera and share them with the world, ideally through photo and video.

On the first Monday of every month, I put together a short video of no more than 60 seconds, to capture the essence of the month just gone. I generally start with about 30 minutes of footage, and although it is tough to select a clip rather than another, or to trim it so much that only 1 second remains, it is also pretty satisfying to see those snippets, the absolute gold nuggets from our month just gone. I have a lot to learn, so bear with me, but I’m having fun! Scroll to the bottom to join us!


Why not join us by linking your own Snapshots & Scenes from the past month?

Our August has been all about:

  • enjoying the summer holidays!
  • baking
  • going to a cooking class at the Jamie Oliver Cookery School
  • dinner with friends at Pizza Express
  • the end of tennis sessions
  • a brilliant evening at The Beach in Brent Cross
  • a road trip to France
  • French food!
  • drawing and colouring
  • Champagne!
  • binging on Netflix with my mum
  • speaking French
  • sleeping loads
  • catching up with cousins
  • a fab massage for me
  • swimming
  • times tables
  • splashing and sliding on our new water slide
  • picnics with friends
  • races
  • dinner with my nan and lovely auntie
  • warm French baguettes


On the first Monday of every month, I will be putting together a Snapshots & Scenes video. This is our August in just 60 seconds.
