Visit Thanksgiving History in Plymouth

Visit Plymouth Rock and the Plimoth Plantation for an experiential Thanksgiving day trip!

We are so close to Plymouth that it's worth a visit over the next few weeks so the kids can see and experience the history that they learn in school.  Check out Pilgrim Memorial State Park , home to the Mayflower II and the Plymouth Rock, then head down the road to Plimoth Plantation to experience pilgrim life as it was back in the 17th century. Plymouth is easy to get to from the North Shore, take 93 South to Route 3 South, you can't miss it!

Store and Display Kids' Art

Storage frame for children's artwork

B has become interested in creating and displaying the artwork he's created this past year. For Valentines Day, Auntie Nancy gave him the [amazon B002YK7750] and Princeton brush set and he uses it everyday. Naturally, he likes to display his masterpiece of the day and I like to promote the pride he has in his work, so I display it right away.  My problem was that I was challenged to find a display method that worked.
