I’ve dropped a few hints over the past few weeks about a collaboration with Susie from This Is Me Now. In last week’s Happy Days post I promised all would be revealed today. So, without further ado, I bring you our new instagram community:
Instagram was a slow burner for me initially, but over the past couple of months I have become obsessed. I love seeing everyone’s amazing photos and getting a little glimpse into all your lives. What can I say, I’m a nosy parker at times. The one thing that really helped me with getting more involved in Instagram as a social platform, rather than just a place to put my favourite pictures, was finding some amazing Instagram communities through the hashtags.
When Susie got in touch asking if I would like to collaborate on something, possibly setting up our own Instagram community, I was over the moon and jumped at the chance.
After several emails and brainstorming sessions between us and a number of polls (thank you to anyone who took part) we have settled on the name of this new community:
https://miestenapteekki.com/#funseekingkids
What Is It?
A place to share all your pictures of your kids having fun. This can be running around/exploring outside, getting messy, playing, being a little bit mischievous, basically anything where they are having fun.
Every Thursday Susie and I will pick four favourites each from the previous week to showcase on Instagram and our blogs (with backlinks of course).
How Can You Get Involved?
Follow myself (burnishedchaos) and Susie (susiehawes) on Instagram, then simply add #funseekingkids to all your pictures that fit the theme. You’ll gain greater exposure and the chance to be featured, bringing even more exposure. You can also visit the hashtag to find other great Instagram accounts to follow and share the love. You don’t need to have a blog to join in, just an Instagram account.
Hope to see you over there, I can’t wait to see all your gorgeous pictures x
Well done for setting it up. I’m a big instagram fan too, love seeing other people’s pictures. Will take a look and include in my hashtag.

I have been using Instagram for years! Before I even started blogging. It is only this past year that I have started utilising hashtags and starting one with Su (ethannevelyn) was the best thing ever, Good luck I will join in. Sarah #FabFridayPost

Love IG, will add and use this tag #KCACOLS xx
Sounds great! I’ll make a note of it and try to join in sometime. I’m still not totally in love with Instagram but I’m slowly learning what aspects of it I do like. #kcacols
What a fab idea – I’ll definitely be using #funseekingkids in future on my instagram pics. #kcacols
This sounds great! I’m fairly new to Instagram and have been looking for more communities to join in with so I will definitely be taking part! #KCACOLS
Sarah recently posted…My Sunday Photo #12 – Picnic
Oh, I’m going to do that now! What a great idea! Thanks for starting this! *Heads over to Instagram* #KCACOLS
Sounds like a lovely theme for a insta community!
Intagram has been a slow burner for me too, and you’re definitely right, the a focus of a community or a challenge definitely makes it all make more sense!
We love to (try) to have lots of fun so I’ll definitely try to join in!
#KCACOLS
What a lovely idea. I love seeing everyones pictures on Instagram.

Sounds great! I’m terrible at remembering to join Insta communities so I have made a note of this one. I don’t share many photos of my little one, and none with her face, but when I do then I’ll be sure to share. Best of luck! #MarvMondays

I’m always looking for ways to increase my social media presence. I’ll certainly be visiting this in the future. #KCACOLS
Oooh how exciting. Congratulations to you both for setting up. I’ve never really joined in with an Instagram community, as such, so I’m looking forward to joining in with this. Good luck to you both ☺ #MarvMondays
Sam – StressyMama recently posted…Gratitude Post #3 – Thank you March!
This looks great – I try not to post pictures of my little ones face – not sure if pictures would still qualify? #KCACOLS
Thank you. They would definitely still qualify. A lot of people feel uncomfortable showing their children’s faces on social media and we have quite a few linked up already that don’t show their faces but you can tell they are engaged in something fun x
Fab idea! I love the IG communities 🙂 #KCACOLS
These instagram communities sound lovely. Sadly I don’t own a phone so can’t take part. #KCACOLS
Helena recently posted…My Monthly Bucket List – April
Great idea, I love Instagram and joining in with other communities 🙂 #kcacols
I seem to fall in and out of love with Instagram all the time!I will join in though, great idea x #kcacols
Just added my first to the #funseekingkids on Instagram. I’m a bit private about their faces on the internet but I’m sure you can make them out in the shadows.
#dreamteam
Ooh Instagram is my favourite platform so I’ll be dure to check this out. #KCACOLS
Sound like a great idea. I haven’t dabbled much on Instagram myself. One day. #KCACOLS
Thank you, maybe we’ll see you there in the future x
I am always on the look out for new IG communities, I will add this to my list x #coolmumclub
