Keeping It Real with Kids: Not Always Picture-Perfect

Instagram vs Reality ⁠ ⁠ It's easy to ⁠trick yourself into thinking everyone's life is perfect and other peoples kids always act well based on these little squares. ⁠ ⁠ Our intent is to be honest and real, and to show the ups and downs of being a traveling family, a married couple, parents, homeschooling, and working remote. ⁠ ⁠ It took us 5 minutes to get this shot. Addy wanted to take it and Jeremiah insisted on photo bombing us over and over again. To the point of me losing my cool, because I wanted a good pic for the gram! (Yes, that actually came out my mouth... not my best parenting moment 🤦)⁠ ⁠ When I went back and looked at the photos, the bombed ones were my favorite. They caught Jeremiah mid jump and it was a great example of what it actually is like having kids. Kids are meant to jump around, photo bomb us, and be silly. I needed the reminder that day. ⁠ ⁠ So, here's to real life with kids, the messy, not everything going the way I planned kind of life that makes it an adventure everyday!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Follow us for more @exploringoutsidethe303⁠ ⁠ ⁠ @ Saguaro National Park
