Bear Hug Picture Time

Today as I took advantage of a day off, I realized it is so easy to get wrapped up in work and forget to sit back, laugh and live  to the fullest. So as the summer quickly approaches, I make a vow to stop, play on the slip and slide with my children more and never, ever be afraid to get a little dirty while making memories!

Photo Tip of the Weekend:
How did I get this picture? IF you do not know my 2 and 4 year old, then you would think they are just cute loving brother and sisters...right? You might be able to get pictures that way but I always say give your sibling a "bear hug" and a "tickle monster" when I want them to pose. NEVER, ever say those horrible words like "say cheese" or "smile please".

Also because it is super sunny here in Texas, I always put up my pop up umbrella off to the side of where we are going to "play"....yes it is all about thinking 2 steps ahead of toddlers!
