There really is no better time than right now.
Every excuse has been said before: the kids are too little, we’ll get it done when they are bigger; Mom and Dad are going to be here for only a few days; it’s hard to get Junior away from his soccer schedule; Lil Miss is tied up with band and dance and her sleepovers.
If you’ve said these excuses to yourself: STOP and listen! The kids WILL only get bigger–TOO fast! And yes, Mom and Dad will only be here for a little while. The kid are too busy–isn’t it time to be together for an hour or so?? It’s doubtful that Junior will miss something he can’t make up in the next practice, and if Lil Miss skips a note, is it the end of the world? No.
It’s a known fact that children — of ALL ages — feel more loved and have higher self esteem when they see themselves in pictures around your house.
Canvas makes a very grand statement of love when it’s shown prominently in your living room or den. For a limited time, it is on SALE.
Is there someplace that represents your family more than any other place? Do it there.
You’ll never regret it. And if you put it off, you WILL regret it.

And now to get my own family together–I’m as guilty as anyone. Something about the shoemaker’s children…..
