Snuggles with Baby #UltraHug

There is nothing more special then spending time with your little one. I can't tell you how often I have looked at my older children and wondered where the time has gone. I wish I could make them small and cuddle with them again. Thankfully we live in an age where we can preserve these memories with photos.

Now I'm not the best at photography, but I still have a ton of really fun photos to remember my kids and our fun times with. The only way I generally get in the photos is if we're taking selfies, an experience in itself. As my photos scroll through on my screensaver I can see a whole line of great memories we have created as a family. We love to participate in activities together and there are so many great ones.

I've got photos of us at home, in the yard, at church, but one of my very favorites is this photo of the girls and I at the local Farmer's Market. This particular photo was taken just after baby G joined our family last summer. It was one of our first trips out and the kids and I had a blast at the market! For us the Farmer's Market is a great place to meet friends, try new things, and enjoy a sunny Saturday morning. My kids favorite part is always getting a free sample of popcorn. We also enjoy learning about the animals and fruit and vegetable products that are there. All of the vendors love sharing their knowledge and it's a great way to see unique foods and learn how to cook them from the experts but my very favorite part is that I love seeing all the beautiful crafts that can be found there. There is one lady often there that makes beautiful lamps out of recycled glass bottles. It's always amazing to see what new designs she comes up with.

Currently Huggies is bringing selfies to a whole new level of fun with their #UltraHug project. Participating is easy! Simply take a selfie of you and your baby and use #UltraHug and nominate the community project of your choice on Instagram or Twitter. From April 20th until June 25th, 2015, Huggies will be accepting all of these photos and featuring them in a collage on the project page. On July 6th, voting will begin to narrow down the 20 finalists to 10 winners who will receive a $2000 grant from Huggies for their nominated community initiative. Here are a few inspirational ideas to get you started.


Now make sure you go enter your favorite community place or project to win and thank Huggies Diapers at Walmart for the great opportunity!

  6. I soooo miss my kids being this age. Everyone says that it goes by in the blink of an eye and you try to listen to them but you don't really understand until you see it happen to yourself!
