Hanging Pictures
Anyone who’s ever hung frames on a wall knows that if you want it to look right you need to do some math. And you also know that the multi-packs of frames you get at discount stores belong in a dumpster. The frames fall apart, the hangers are a pain to get on the wall,…

Kids Talking
Everyone always says that they can’t wait until their baby starts to talk. They’re so excited, can’t wait to hear what the first word will be.. Trust me, that first word is only the beginning.
