Decorate the Walls: 3 Reasons to Print Your Photos!

A picture is worth a thousand words.


Hanging pictures on the wall is natural; cavemen and Egyptians were decorating the walls of their caves and pyramids thousands of years ago.  And, although the type of memories hung on a home's walls has evolved with technological advances from hieroglyphics to paintings to photographs, the reason for the pictures is the same: memories.

We live in a digital age.  With so many digital devices within reach all day long that help us take more pictures than ever before, we end up with thousands of photos stored on our phones and computers and less photos printed.

But, here are 3 reasons that your photos should be printed:

(1)
Photographs capture a moment in time.  With thousands of photos on our phones and computers, printed photographs hung on the walls of our homes are easily identified by our family and friends as our favorite memories; printed family photographs instantly become heirlooms to our children.

(2)
Moreover, psychologists have found that homes with family photographs hung on the walls have children who grew up with greater confidence and sense of belonging than those who didn’t. These children also had a better understanding of where they came from and a stronger feeling of value.

(3)
Adults benefit too.  When you receive bad news or are having a bad day in general, just a glance at your photographs immediately brightens your day.  It's not a solution for world peace but it's a boost that can help you manage the rest of your day.

Three Things I'm Loving Right Now: Summer 2019 Edition

I have a guilty confession to make...here are my top three things I'm loving right now! BH 90210 - The Beverly Hills 90210 reboot series has only aired a few episodes and I'm so thrilled with how they did it!  It's not a typical reboot that picks up almost 30 years after the original series ended.  The original cast play themselves in a distorted reality-based way.  If you were a fan of the original, it's worth checking out this reboot!  "The Art of Racing in the Rain" (Movie Edition) - OK - I'm a "This is Us" fan (Milo 😍).  And, I love dogs (especially golden retrievers)....and well, I love Kevin Costner and Ferraris too!  But, I finally had a chance to watch this in the theater and let's just say I'm so very glad there were only a few other people in the theater as I silently sobbed from the first 30 seconds to the very last 30 seconds.  I have not read the book.  So, I don't know how they compare, but this movie was so beauti...

How to Prepare Your Husband for Your Family Photo Session

Every time I even think about scheduling a family photo session with my family, my husband has excuses before I even finish my thought.  I don't get it either.  He's sexy and photogenic!  He has no reason to avoid a camera.  But, let me share my secrets with you on how I prepare my husband for a photo shoot! Timing Find the best time that works with his schedule.  I know that as the CEO of your family, your schedule it hectic between the mom taxi duty, groceries, getting dinner on the table, and chores around the house.  But, sometimes it is worth giving a little in order to get a lot. If he normally gets off work at 4 pm each weekday, then schedule a weeknight session.  If he works late every night then try a weekend.  The biggest hurdle I have to jump over is finding a time that he already has some down time.  Once I get past this hurdle, it's so much easier to get his cooperation! What To Wear I'm sure there's one nice out...
