I have a confession to make, I have really fallen in love with Instagram! I will probably go as far as saying at the moment it is my favourite social media site.
Not sure when it happened, as Facebook used to be my go to place to share things and socialise, but I just love browsing through all the pictures and reading the captions, giving a flurry of hearts as I go along.
I think it has slowly crept up the pecking order of social media platforms for me as I have certainly found myself really enjoying taking pictures, all on my iPhone 6s, giving them a little edit or using one of the many filters Instagram provides for you.
I also really enjoy taking part in and being part of the many instagram hashtag communities that are out there, and they are growing on a daily basis. Some of my favourites include #curiouslittleexplorers #littlefierceones #capturingcolour #UKexplore and #lovelifeexplore. They all seem to sum up my life with the girls living by the sea.
Because of my new found love of all things Insta, I thought I would share with you every month my top 5 most like (or hearted) pictures. So without further ado, here goes:
In joint fifth place is the beautiful tea cup clock in my favourite cafe in Brixham, Millie & Me:
and one of the pictures I took of the girls while we were on our camping holiday in Benodet in France. That holiday was just perfect:
In fourth place is this lovely pic of my youngest walking back to the car after a friends birthday party she was skipping along full of the party spirit. I just love the way she is holding the ballon:
In third place, our stash of logs all ready to go to fuel our log burner this winter, I can’t wait!
In second place its the alternative back to school picture of the girls. I tried, I really did, to get a nice smiley, sisters loving being next to each picture, but as always I get this (I love it though):
And in first place, it’s the picture of the fab Lego organiser that I have for my little one’s every growing supply. If you missed the post you can find it here:
If you liked these, and want to join me on Instagram I can be found here.
If you love Instagram as much as I do leave your handles in the comments below and I will follow. I’ll post again at the end of October with my top 5 pics of the month.
Lets get instagramming!

#MarvMondays
Thank you for your lovely comment I set myself a challenge a few months ago to post once a day and I found that really worked for me, but the main thing is to enjoy it. X
I was a strict Facebooker until about three months ago. I had instagram and Twitter and neglected both of them but I found out a few of my friends who refuse to FB are on IG and I wass desperate to connect with them so now I’m an IG junkie. Love the pics!
Thanks for you comment. I really do prefer Insta over Facebook, it’s just feels a nicer platform to be on. X
I love Instagram too! It’s definitely my favourite social media channel to use. Those are all great pictures, love the beach and skipping ones the most. x #marvmondays

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a lovely comment Amy. For me Instagram is defenitely my favourite st the moment, but there is always something new coming up so I might change my mind a few months X
I live Instagram and how inspiring it can be sometimes. The only downside is that it sucks you in – I can spend some serious time on it 🙂 Love your pictures, especially the holiday ones! #TheLink
Thank you for your lovely comment Monika and you are so right, I can lose hours just flicking through all those gorgeous picks.X
