1. Let them choose their outfits, however inappropriate.
2. Take them on a surprise trip to the park before school.
3. Bribe them with the promise of hot chocolate with marshmallows,
and let them lead the way…
It’s about time. Hallelujah!
welcome to my world
I'm Jill, and I'm much scarier than I may appear. Or, at least I like to think so.
My son named me Scary Mommy during a phase where he was scared of everything, including his grilled cheese sandwiches. So, maybe I'm not all that scary after all, but Pushover Mommy didn't quite have the same ring to it.
I'm so glad you're here.

adorable kids.
I have two little girls. Sometimes I get them dressed up in really pretty outfits and pretend they are fashion models and I am the photographer. It really gets them to ham it up for the camera.

I call it “Independence with Training Wheels.” What Scary-tastic pictures! I wish I could stuff one of my boys into one of those costumes!
You so inspired me with your Scary Mommy prompt! I have an award from the blogahood over at my site!

Wow. AWESOME photos. Your children are becoming increasingly photogenic as they get older. Thanks for sharing such cute pictures!
We let my son pick his own costume this year, by the way. It’s resulted in the costume being used for more than just Halloween. But hey, what do we care? If he’s happy, he can let his imagination run wild, when it’s time to be just a kid.

Cute shots!

I have read it several times from different posts and magazines that you have to allow your children to pick their own outfit no matter how off it looks. If they want what they are wearing, you will never have a difficult time to make them pose for pictures – they will enjoy the shoot, definitely!
