Ever wonder how they can get their kids to stand still and look that good

Browsing other mum’s Instagram accounts is my new favourite hobby
. As much as I love uploading pics to my own account, what I love even more is seeing what other mothers are baking, doing and making! Here are the thoughts that go through my head  whilst I’m having a nosy:
  • Why does it seem like everyone is always at the beach? Is it only me that isn’t on a permanent holiday?
  • Please can someone tell me the perfect filter – I always end up looking orange or white as a ghost…
  • How on earth do people make their child stand still for a picture? Are their feet glued to the ground?
  • Did they really bake all those cakes or did they just nip to the bakery and take the wrapping off?
  • Do people go and buy crockery especially for their coffee pictures? My morning cuppa in my faded old mug would not look pretty.
  • Have you ever seen anyone using a selfie-stick in public? I think the embarrassment would kill me…
  • If I tried to take a photo of my toddler mid painting session my cover would go from white to rainbow coloured in seconds.
  • Does everyone actually eat everything that they photograph or are some of those pastries actually just stale props. 
  • How does anyone own enough outfits for themselves and their kids that they can picture themselves wearing something different EVERY DAY!
