The Tristin + Tyler Project: National Milk Chocolate Day

 

I told you a few weeks back that we're stepping up with new videos and series, remember? Well, the best part about creating new projects is that Tristin and Tyler are becoming little producers and have a say in all that is going up on their site. From creative direction, editing, script writing and more, these boys are excited to play a bigger role in their brand (yay, cause I am pooped doing it all).  The first video series you'll see is called THE TRISTIN + TYLER PROJECT. The format of the show will change each time, it's a variety show with a lot of antics and silliness -- super funny!! Your kiddos will love it.  The boys really play a big role in these videos, and not just in front of the camera - behind it too. I can't beleive their old enough to understand it all, but they are.

In the first episode you'll see below, Tyler gets a HUGE SURPRISE for National Milk Chocolate Day on July 28th!! Watch and laugh! Please also subscribe to their YouTube Channel here and spread the word! WE hope you enjoy!! xx

#1FUNTHING 2014: Water Fight!

We're baaaack with our #1FunThing summer challenge! Remember the challenge last year? From touring your town to chalking it up, we had a ball challenging ourselves and YOU!  Once again, we are encouraging kids to do one fun, outdoor activity each weekend  and then share an image of what you did with us using the hashtag #1FUNTHING so we can see it. We may feature your little on our website and in social media!

First challenge of 2014, WATER FIGHT! So glad our friends at Hasbro sent us these awesome Nerf super soaker blasters, say bye, bye to those little plastic guns of the past - these things literally SOAKED the boys! Normally we are big on conserving water and trying our best not to be wasteful. But we thought we'd take this one time to cool off and go a little nutty. Anyway, the boys didn't waste too much water -- they were so exhausted after 20 minutes they gave up!

I LOVE how these images catch the water drops. These images will be a great summer memory for them, don't you think? Are you going to JOIN THE CHALLENGE THIS WEEKEND?? We hope so! We want to see your pictures next week. Don't forget to use #1FUNTHING when you post!

Street Style: Pristine Finesse

I am a big fan of great photography and street style. I happend to fall in love with images from the street style blog Pristine Finesse and YAY the boys were lucky to be photographed by Lindsey Trimble, the photographer and owner of the site. I was so excited that T&T were the only kids featured on the blog thus far, I'm sure that won't last long after this post!  Not only was Lindsey nice to the boys (my number one criteria when the boys are working with a photographer that's not me!), he has an amazing eye and an edge to his work that really captures New York City. So awesome. See the rest of the photos of the boyz HERE, and if you need great fashion/street style images, definitely shoot him en email!

What's Cool: Vacation

The weekend of the fourth was probably the most relaxing 4th I've had in years. The boys are older, the weather was perfect and I literally didn't do much other than sit by the pool and enjoy the boys' energy. Even hubs was in the pool, playing, doing laps and more. Me? I just sat back on my lounge chair and watched. I did go in the pool a few times, but literally just to cool off. No real swimming this year, just relaxing, pondering. We were lounging by the pool until it closed every night for 3 nights -- sometimes doing nothing is just what the doctor ordered. Just relaxing, pondering. The only problem is when I went back to work on Tuesday, I was more tired than I usually am when I'm running around -- go figure! How was your fourth? Busy? Hectic? Slow and relaxing? xx

Happy Fourth of July 2014!

Everyone here at Tristin + Tyler headquarters wishes you a happy, healthy Fourth of July! We hope you have fun celebrating the country's independence with your loved ones. Us? We're spending the weekend swimming, enjoying barbeque and good company over in New Jersey. I can't beleive it's going to rain on the actual fourth! Ugh! Anyway, enjoy and see you back here next week! xx

What's Up, July?

Yea, I'm shocked too. It's officially JULY. JULY? Really? I feel like we just got into the summer and it's ending already. I am glad school is over for the boys though. 4th grade was pretty tough. I slowed down a lot on producing videos, photo shoots, etc. because the year was really taxing on them. I'm glad they get a break now - I get a break too - homework was hard on me as well!  Anyway, I look forward to a ton of fun in the sun. Here's what's up for July with Tristin + Tyler:

         New Videos - We're taking a look at the coolest things to do in NYC with a Tristin + Tyler twist. You'll love these short videos with a big punch!

         Cooking + Tutorials - As you know, the LOVE to cook, so we are sharing tips on recipes kids can make on their own! The boys also want to show you a few of their favorite hobbies.

         Events + Giveaways - Yep, we've got a few cool events up our sleeve! Some are all about style, others, just about having fun. Either way, you'll want to join   in for a chance to have a good time, and win really fun prizes!!

Tell us below, what do YOU have going on this summer??

LET THE FUN BEGIN!
