We share with you some behind-the-scenes photos and stories from SP Mag’s March 2010 cover shoot of Christine Jacob-Sandejas and her adorable kids. Enjoy this exclusive sneak peek and learn more about Christine’s top tips on parenting, relationships and more.
The Don’t Say Cheese Game With each click of the camera, Christine Jacobs-Sandejas’s kids (Nina, 6, Luis, 3; and Jaime, 1) would chime with their different words of choice.

Lemonade, Popcorn, Pool. Fairy, Strawberry, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs (which was showing at the time of the photo shoot)
