Part of the Back To School excitement is picture day. I love picture day and so do my girls! But at the same time I’m nervous because I never know what we’ll get since both of them are known for not smiling, or smiling funny. My oldest daughter had this really weird look on her face for her Kindergarten picture. Her eyes were open wide as if she was trying to smile but tried too hard. I laughed so hard when I saw it! But as a mother I learned pretty quickly that you never know what you’ll get from kids!
Beginning September 2013, Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® will launch Smile for Picture Day™ – a new back-to-school campaign that will leverage the time-honored tradition of school picture day as an opportunity to promote healthy habits among children in need.
