Picture frames for your home

When I went on my honeymoon back in the 1990′s I wanted something special to bring back home. I looked over the islands and wasn’t happy with just the average tee shirt as a souvenir. As I was walking around I saw people doing caricatures and stopped to watch. It’s fascinating to me how people can sketch so fast. At the very next booth I found my souvenir from my honeymoon.

I bought two beautiful prints of the tropical islands that we were visiting. To this day they make me smile when I see them. The were rolled up and put in a cylinder for me to put them in my suitcase to bring them home. Once home I took them to the local framing store. He showed me the many choices of picture frames for your home. We talked about the color of the room they would be in and selected the matte to go around them. The process was simple and quick.

They are still hanging in my home today. I smile when I see them. It serves as a reminder of what that honeymoon meant to me. It was a turning point in my life. One that I am glad I made. The journey hasn’t been easy in many ways. But it’s been worth the ride. Try to think outside the box when you are on vacation. You can find things like pictures or posters framed  to be your souvenir for years to come.

The picture frames you choose to hang in your home say a lot about you. Are you traditional and classic in your choosing of picture frames? Or do you tend to be more off the wall and modern? Either way the picture frames you choose will bring smiles to your face for years to come! If not, they are very quick and easy to change!

Boys Know it All book review!

Stereotypes and the pressure to conform often smother the creativity of boys and leave their fresh, original ideas unheard. Boys Know It All is a place where boys can speak their piece about what it is to be a boy. Boys, ages 6-16, have written chapters offering helpful hints for tough situations like talking to girls and surviving older siblings, while others toss out ways to fill free time creatively like inventing your own family traditions and taking care of pets. This is a fun book that also tackles serious issues about growing up male in America.

* Doin’ Your Own Thang–a 13-year-old’s story of dealing with teasing from peers about his career as a professional tap dancer.
* Gone Fishin’–tips on catching frogs, bugs, and other creatures and how to care for them if you decide to keep them.
* Toughing It Out–an 11-year-old tells the story of his battle with a brain tumor and encourages others to “just hang in there” when life gets tough.
* Chivalry Isn’t Dead–four boys from Memphis, Tennessee give hints on how to impress girls, friends, and family by being a classy “gentleman.”

I found that this was not only a good read for my son, but for myself as well. I always felt that I was young enough to remember being a kid. Growing up I swore I would never forget, but the truth is that times change. I remember when I was a kid- a FEMALE kid. My husband remembers HIS time, and…well…times have changed! It was really good for me to read this book as well, to put my head back into the grimy fingered fun of being a little boy!!
