I'm excited to announce a new line of frames being offered at Cara Hromada Photography, Inc. There are fun, whymsical frames and classic, richly textured frames. Each is hand painted. But, the best part is that they come in almost every color you can think of!
I have to share a story with everyone. I try to blog about real-life sometimes, most of my clients have young kids and can totally relate to this one...So today I was in Bed, Bath and Beyond. I figured I would take my two youngest kids who do not go to school full time (Julia, 3 and Brayden, 2), I mean, having just the two kids instead of all four should be a breeze I figured, right? WRONG!!!We manage to get through the whole store without anything being pulled down, broken, thrown, etc. (I should mention my 3 year old has already gone to preschool from 9 to 11:45 and then BOTH went to their swim class.) We make it to the register and then the melt downs start. They start crying because there is candy in site - DAMN STORE MERCHANDISERS - they really know how to screw over us moms don't they? You are either fighting with your kids about the candy or fighting with your own guilt about the candy. So my kids are yelling (yes, yelling) "I WANT A LOLLI POP!" Brayden wails. "I want THAT one" says Jules at the top of her lungs pointing to the Starburst. I'm trying to deal with them and stack my overflowing cart full of junk onto the small counter in front of the cashier. The two women working there are trying to help me, they start asking the kids questions, anything to get them to stop. It doesn't work. The older cashier asks Brayden if he knows the Itsy Bitsy Spider...wrong move. He gets pissed and not-so-under his breath he says "no, SHUT UP!" UUGGGHH total embarrassment. My face turns bright red. I kind of giggle, apologize, tell him to apologize and say to the two cashiers and the older woman customer "they have learned such lovely things from my two older children." Not sure why I said this, it just proves now that all my kids are fresh and I have no control over them. At some point Julia had been standing up in the front of the cart so I had taken her out and now she is laying on the floor sucking her thumb and sobbing because she wants the big Snickers bar that she has spotted. To try to prove a point about how fresh they are, I tell them both they are NOT getting the candy that I had grabbed for them. Well that really sets them off. Julia goes into all-out temper tantrum mode on the floor. Brayden starts screaming on the top of his lungs and the older woman customer throws her arms up in the air and yells out "HOLY S__T!"It was great. What an enjoyable shopping trip. And my husband just does not get why I can't go to the store during the day...ask the foul-mouth old lady Marc!
