I love going to museums when I was a kid. It gave me so much excitement seeing “Old” stuff and finding out its history. I wish I can go to tours these days but my husband isn’t the type who will go with me.

I often wonder how curators and museum keepers keep their art work safe. Pieces of art found in galleries and museums are worth more than a thousand dollars and are considered rare and precious like diamonds.

I have heard of museum who needed to go under renovation. They needed to have their artwork and other artifacts moved to a safer place. An Art Moving Company like the Fine Art Movers in Boston can keep art work like those safe. They are a company who does custom made orders – if you need special arrangements for your rare pieces, like temperature, light control, humidity control and moist control, they can do it. They even have a warehouse service you can rent for storage. They even have a vault too. They consult with you regarding every detail of your move and storage. They can even make custom racks for the storage of your art pieces. They have a fire suppression system that is checked quarterly and a state of the art security system.

Art pieces which are invaluable need to be taken cared of. Fine Art Movers have the same goal.

Who else here is crazy about football? Perhaps the most popular sport in the US (I might be mistaken though), football is now gaining ground here in the country. Basketball remains to be the most popular sport but other sports like baseball, soccer and football are becoming increasingly popular. People are opening up to the sport.

I have to admit I am not much of a sports fan. I would rather watch something else. I am aware though of certain popular sportsmen because of their exposure. For example, I’m quite familiar with the Green Bay Packers because of the movie, “Something About Mary” :)

Edil is also a big Packers fan. To the point that he even bought matching NFL Jerseys for himself and Matthew when he was just a toddler! My best friend who is a girly girl is a big sports fan and she loves the Packers as well. I guess this will be a nice gift to kids whose parents are big sports fans this coming holiday season.

Edil for one loves to buy basketball jerseys for Matthew! He even spends hundreds of bucks to even get the authentic ones – only for Matthew to use at home!

My son, Matthew, is a geek. I say that in a good way. He is a very intellectual kid, very curious around the world around him. He loves to read books and does arts and crafts in his spare time. In short, he would rather be buried deep in a book rather than go outside and play.

That is why Edil has been encouraging him to be involved in sports. There is a basketball tournament opened up for parents at his school and Edil joined so he can show Matthew that the sport can be very easy (Matthew got traumatized I think when he was in first grade and in PE class they were made to shoot some balls. He can’t even shoot until it can reach the ring – he was so embarrassed). Unfortunately, Matthew isn’t really interested in basketball.

So we are trying other fields – swimming, karate / taek wan do or soccer. Soccer is a hit these days among school kids. More and more schools are opening up new classes for it. Do you know there are even portable soccer goals? Soccer Goals are great for practice and great for keeping kids busy when there are picnics or family parties outdoors!

I am quite excited for October actually. Besides the fact that my Dad and father-in-law celebrate their birthdays this month, it is also the start of parties for the holidays. I have a bunch of online friends who organized a get together-cum-advanced Christmas party for all us. And we are to bring our families too – husband and kids!

We are going to book a hotel room just for that day. We need to  bring a lot of toys for distraction for the kids so us mommies can actually talk and get to know each other and catch up. As for the food, we are going to have everything catered/ordered so it is easier. Maybe I will just bring something sweet because I need it.

How do we distract the husbands? Get them to play poker. Good thing all of our husbands know how to play the game. Poker Tables are available at the room by request. They got their tables from American Gaming Supply. It has the wide selection of poker tables because they are the only company that offers discounts on multiple wholesale purchase online.
