There are times in life when you ask yourself
"Why did I do that? It was obviously a bad idea" and then it turns
out it wasn't such a bad idea after all. Like me moving to Germany with no
money and no job. But twelve years later I am still here, happily married and with three sons
and a lovely house.
I had one of those bad idea moments this week, albeit
on a much smaller scale. I had a notion to make a yeast bread video tutorial.
When I couldn't get my phone to the right angle to film from, I asked Number
Two (my almost 5 year old) to hold the phone steady for a few minutes. It
started off well but then he decided to get creative and take a few photos of
me. As he did so, he chatted and waved the phone about, leaving me a video in
need of severe editing. But what I also got were some candid shots of me in the
kitchen, just doing what I normally do while baking. Number Two enjoyed filming and photographing as he pleased while I had floury hands.
I loved this shared moment with Number Two,
interrupting our usual routine of breakfast, chatting and getting ready for the
day by adding a phone set to video mode into the mix.
I never got to re-film the start of the
tutorial, but here is what i was able to salvage. If you are interested in the
recipe, leave me a comment and I'll post it soon.
Ah that's wonderful, I love it when the kids take charge of the camera! Mine are always blurry or off centre but I reckon your little helper has done a great job. The yeast bread looks delicious! Thanks for linking up. #ThisWeekIveLoved xx

I'd say a budding little photographer don't you think!! It's so lovely when they want to join in with what we're doing, but yes, invariably things never quite go as according to plan as you'd hoped if you were doing it alone! Thanks so much for linking up with #ThisWeekIveLoved Steph xxx
ReplyDeleteYes, it was different but in a good way. Thanks for hosting, Steph.
