Particularly if your family are spread over counties. I definitely take more photos, when there are challenges to fulfil. Although it's rare that a day goes by without me taking at least one for Instagram.

It must be a particular pain if you live near the border. It sounds a bit like here when counties have different school holidays so parents who are teaching in one county are juggling children who are at school in another county or even worse around here you might work in one and children in two other counties if you follow my flow. <br />I too miss Snap and Miriam's six word story that is why I have started doing the Photo a Week Challenge. Could we lobby Helena when she returns?Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013731736768963395noreply@blogger.com
