Tips for the Family Photo Chaos

October 14, 2015 by Inspired by Family Mag

Stress, chaos, chasing after kids, bribing, stern (very stern) looks, "you better smile or else", a crying baby who could care less about any of your threats and bribes your spouting off. I only know this because other moms have shared their horror family picture stories, NOT. Well, I thought it would be great to take some Mother's day photos with my men. WHAT.  WAS.  I.  THINKING.

I don't like for them to take too many toys when we go out because 9 out of 10 times they leave it, lose it and then are really upset because it's gone. So this recycled game can get left, lost or damaged and it won't matter to me because it can easily be replaced. Tic Tac Toe Game Supplies: Pipe cleaners egg carton 1.
