Last week a CNN camera crew came to our house to shoot part of a segment for the Clark Howard show. In a few weeks we’ll actually meet Clark and finish the interview but the camera crew came early to get some footage of our family.<\/p>\n

Having a camera crew in your house is a big disruption to your day. I was a little hesitant about doing the interview at first, but since several of my children are interested in film making and we love Clark Howard I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.<\/p>\n

The crew was great and they spent a lot of time with the kids explaining the equipment and even letting them use it. (Under supervision of course)<\/p>\n

Here are a few of the photos from our day.<\/p>\n

Filming our homeschool day.<\/p>\n

Letting the kids try out the equipment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Filming me blogging. (Do you know how hard it is to blog on camera?)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Filming the intro in the front yard. They were nice enough to take a picture with my camera.<\/p>\n

A few years ago I would have told you that I would never let a film crew in my house. I’ve changed my mind since then and I think it was a great experience for the family. It was definitely stressful keeping the house picked up and hoping no one picked their nose on camera, but all in all it was a great learning experience for us!<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t do it every day, but I’m glad my kids had this experience. Hopefully it was enough of a disruption to their daily routine to keep them off any reality television when they are adults.<\/p>\n
