Don\'t you love it when that happens? It saves me the trouble of writing it.\r\n\r\nThe article I read was in Vanity Fair, \"<a href=\"http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2012/01/prisoners-of-style-201201\">You Say You Want a Devolution?</a>\". It\'s about how until the 90s culture and fashion changed drastically, if not every decade, the certainly every 20 years.\r\n\r\nSo if you compare a photo from 1950 to one from 1930 or 1970 the differences are instantly recognizable. But a photo from 1990 versus one from 2010? We\'re pretty much wearing the same things.\r\n\r\nThe author has a few interesting theories on why that is. (Spoiler: Companies don\'t like change.) Are we letting business dictate our personal style? I can see that.\r\n\r\nIs the world changing so quickly that we revert to the familiar? Is that why everything in the culture is a revival? I can see that too.\r\n\r\nI\'d say retro has been the most enduring cultural value/aesthetic ever since I was a teenager in the 90s.\r\n\r\nWhat say you?\r\n\r\nI collected covers from the American version of Vogue magazine to illustrate this for you. I see a change in every decade -- a distinct look and style -- but the covers from 2000 and 2010 are not only interchangeable, but the women on the covers haven\'t aged a bit.

This might seem like a frivolous quest but I figured, why not learn to do it the right way? So I walked into Tiffany\'s and asked for help.\n\nNow I\'ll save you the trip and teach you how to do it. It\'s really easy once you know how.\n\n<strong>Step 1</strong>\n\nGather your materials. You\'ll need:\n\n1) a box\n\n2) nice silky ribbon (I usually cut enough to go around the box about two-and-half times)\n\n3) scissors\n\n<a title=\"Tiffany Set by R. S. M., on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/diary/2121484764/\"><img class=\"at-xid-6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa39ecb970c\" alt=\"Tiffany Set\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa39ecb970c-pi.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></a>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Step 2</strong>\n\nLeaving at least a box\'s length of ribbon at the bottom of the box, place the ribbon at the center of the top of the box and hold with your thumb. Like this:\n\n<a title=\"Tiffany Set by R. S. M., on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/diary/2121484806/\"><img class=\"at-xid-6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa39f07970c\" alt=\"Tiffany Set\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa39f07970c-pi.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></a>\n\n<strong>Step 3</strong>\n\nWrap the ribbon once around the box. Place the second piece of ribbon under your thumb as well:\n\n<a title=\"Tiffany Set by R. S. M., on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/diary/2120706355/\"><img class=\"at-xid-6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa39f26970c\" alt=\"Tiffany Set\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa39f26970c-pi.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></a>\n\n<strong>Step 4</strong>\n\nFold the ribbon over your thumb to go around the box at a 45 degree angle:\n\n<a title=\"Tiffany set by R. S. M., on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/diary/2121462290/\"><img class=\"at-xid-6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa39f3b970c\" alt=\"Tiffany set\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa39f3b970c-pi.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></a>\n\n<strong>Step 5</strong>\n\nKeep going...\n\n<a title=\"Tiffany set by R. S. M., on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/diary/2121462398/\"><img class=\"at-xid-6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa39f47970c\" alt=\"Tiffany set\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa39f47970c-pi.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></a>\n\n<strong>Step 6</strong>\n\n...until you go around once:\n\n<a title=\"Tiffany Set by R. S.

Ready?\n\n<!--more-->\n\n<strong>Step 7</strong>\n\nTuck the ribbon under and back across the ribbon you were holding\nwith your thumb. You\'re basically making a U-shaped hook. If the ribbon\nlooks like this you\'re almost done:\n\n<a title=\"Tiffany Set by R. S. M., on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/diary/2121484832/\"><img alt=\"Tiffany Set\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2121484832_dc255634e2.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></a>\n\n<strong>Step 8</strong>\n\nNow center and tighten the ribbon:\n\n<a title=\"Tiffany set by R. S. M., on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/diary/2120684345/\"><img alt=\"Tiffany set\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2120684345_74ac64bb5f.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></a>\n\n<strong>Step 9</strong>\n\nNow, just like you learned in elementary school, you make a loop\nwith the uppermost piece of ribbon to your right, and then wrap the\nother piece around and push through to make a bow:\n\n<a title=\"Tiffany set by R. S. M., on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/diary/2120684377/\"><img alt=\"Tiffany set\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2120684377_269285a3ea.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></a>\n\n<strong>Step 10</strong>\n\nAt this point, your bow will probably look pretty crappy. Thats fine - just loosen and recenter it:\n\n<a title=\"Tiffany set by R. S. M., on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/diary/2121462258/\"><img alt=\"Tiffany set\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2121462258_321f55c8c8.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></a>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Step 11</strong>\n\n...tighten again:\n\n<a title=\"Tiffany set by R.

Sahra goes door to door spreading a life-saving message to the mothers in her community of Bossaso, Somalia.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/10_Roxanna-Sarmiento_Sahra-Mohamud.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-4422 alignnone\" alt=\"10_Roxanna Sarmiento_Sahra Mohamud\" src=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/10_Roxanna-Sarmiento_Sahra-Mohamud.png\" width=\"518\" height=\"324\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<em style=\"color: #808080;\">Photo Credit: UNICEF Somalia – Susannah Price reports</em>\r\n\r\nUNICEF in Somalia sponsors Child Health Days where women and children receive free vaccination and preventative care that quite literally saves lives. It\'s an amazing service, but incredibly, many mothers don\'t know about them -- or if they hear about them on the radio they may not have enough information to make the decision to go and get the healthcare offered to them.\r\n\r\nIt sounds crazy, I know, but as a fellow mother, I know how hectic life with young children can be. Mothers in Somalia are like mothers in America -- we are busy. We have limited time and resources. So we depend on each other for information, advice, and recommendations.\r\n\r\nEnter Sahra.\r\n\r\nFor an upcoming <a href=\"http://www.unicef.org/somalia/nutrition_12094.html\">Child Health Day</a>, Sahra served as a social mobilizer to gain mothers’ trust and encourage families to attend the Child Health Day at the Horsed Mother and Child Health Clinic. As a social mobilizer, she goes door to door and explains to mothers the importance of immunization as well as explains it is not a one time thing; it is a process that continues if you want healthy children.\r\n\r\nSahra and her fellow social mobilizers are quite literally saving lives by connecting with the women in their community.\r\n\r\n<object width=\"560\" height=\"315\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/DeETGeC65RE?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed width=\"560\" height=\"315\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/DeETGeC65RE?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" /></object>\r\n\r\nI\'m a snowbound blogger in Boston, sharing her story to <em>my</em> community, which is mostly made up of mothers connected to and by the Internet. While our \"social mobilizing\" is quite different on the surface, at its heart it\'s all about inspiring action by connecting with each other.\r\n\r\nI honestly don\'t know what I would have done if I had had my children before the age of blogs and the internet. The amount of support and information I got and still get from my fellow mothers from all over the world was a lifeline in those early days of motherhood and still provides much needed support and at times comic relief now that I\'m a wizened old mother of three.\r\n\r\n(OK, I still need your advice. We never really know everything, do we?)\r\n\r\nWhether I\'m reaching out to an old friend across the country, or to a woman I\'ve never met around the corner, the internet has made it perfectly clear to me that we can change the world by connecting with each other.\r\n\r\nWhether you are like Sahra and communicate with your neighbors and immediate community, or whether you are a mother with a blog who is simply sharing her story for reasons that might seem silly on the surface; we are all part of a worldwide chain of mothers sharing, connecting, and advocating for ourselves and our families.\r\n\r\nThat\'s a very powerful thing.\r\n<h3><em>This story comes from <a href=\"http://www.unicef.org/\">UNICEF Somalia</a> and is part of Shot@Life’s ’28 Days of Impact’ Campaign.

The initiative raised over $200,000 and garnered over 29 million impressions.  As a follow up, 28 Days of Impact serves as a way for our bloggers to continue raising awareness for global vaccines, and the work being done by our partners, by highlighting their impact.\r\n\r\nFor each day of February, the bloggers will write an impactful story on vaccines that they then relate to their own life or experiences. These stories will be posted on their blogs and shared with their millions of followers\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>What we are asking for:</b>\r\n\r\n-Profiles of beneficiaries (children, parents, frontline workers etc.) that highlight the impact of polio, measles, pneumococcal and rotavirus vaccines.\r\n\r\n-A picture to accompany the profile\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<i>N.B.

As a social mobilizer, she goes door to door and explains to mothers the importance of immunization as well as explains it is not a one time thing; it is a process that continues if you want healthy children.\r\n\r\nSahra and her fellow social mobilizers are quite literally saving lives by connecting with the women in their community.\r\n\r\n<object width=\"560\" height=\"315\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/DeETGeC65RE?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed width=\"560\" height=\"315\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/DeETGeC65RE?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" /></object>\r\n\r\nI\'m a snowbound blogger in Boston, sharing her story to <em>my</em> community, which is mostly made up of mothers connected to and by the Internet. While our \"social mobilizing\" is quite different on the surface, at it\'s heart it\'s all about inspiring action by connecting with each other.\r\n\r\nI honestly don\'t know what I would have done if I had had my children before the age of blogs and the internet. The amount of support and information I got and still get from my fellow mothers from all over the world was a lifeline in those early days of motherhood and still provides much needed support and at times comic relief now that I\'m a wizened old mother of three.\r\n\r\n(OK, I still need your advice. We never really know everything, do we?)\r\n\r\nWhether I\'m reaching out to an old friend across the country, or to a woman I\'ve never met around the corner, the internet has made it perfectly clear to me that we can change the world by connecting with each other.\r\n\r\nWhether you are like Sahra and communicate with your neighbors and immediate community, or whether you are a mother with a blog who is simply sharing her story for reasons that might seem silly on the surface; we are all part of a worldwide chain of mothers sharing, connecting, and advocating for ourselves and our families.\r\n\r\nThat\'s a very powerful thing.\r\n<h3><em>This story comes from <a href=\"http://www.unicef.org/\">UNICEF Somalia</a> and is part of Shot@Life’s ’28 Days of Impact’ Campaign.

Snow! And then, more Snow! Because, we are morons, apparently.\r\n\r\nWe rounded up the kids and every piece of fleece and waterproof clothing in the house and joined some friends in Vermont for February vacation. I\'m not going to lie, if it was up to me, we would have gone somewhere less frigid -- but in the end the vacation was lovely. Turns out I love snowy mountains, as long as I\'m not forced on skis.\r\n\r\nYes, I tried skiing AGAIN. Despite my hatred for the cold and slippery side of winter. I hate driving in snow, hell, I hate walking in snow...so I really have no business downhill skiing. BUT I\'m married to an Austrian, and I hadn\'t been on skis since a disastrous lesson back when we were dating. I probably don\'t need to tell you that that lesson ended in tears. Well this one didn\'t end in tears, but in stoic resignation.\r\n\r\nIt did, however, begin in tears. I had an epic meltdown when they ran out of poles and no one could decide if beginners needed poles or not and OMGIAMNOTMADEFORTHISSTUPIDSPORT! STAB! STAB! HATE.\r\n\r\nBy the end of the two hour lesson I was smugly counting down the seconds, because it meant that I will never get on skis again. I will leave that to my children and husband.\r\n\r\nHowever, I was on a mountain called Mt. Snow for goodness sake, so I had to find something to do in the white stuff. So I tried snowshoeing and I loved it!\r\n\r\n<a title=\"You guys, I found my winter sport! by Everyday Treats (@Miguelina), on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/diary/8482759312/\"><img alt=\"You guys, I found my winter sport!\" src=\"http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8235/8482759312_9cdcbfda23.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe snowshoeing group consisted of a bunch of badass grandmas and me. Not surprisingly, the grandmas were in much better shape than I am, since I had to ask for breaks twice during our two hour hike up Mt. Snow. The so-called grandmas? They gently patted me on the shoulder and consoled me (\"you just said what we were thinking, dear\" -- yeah, right!)\r\n\r\nYou know what\'s so great about snowshoeing? There is no sliding involved. The shoes are so grippy that I wasn\'t afraid to hike up and down a mountain covered in wet snow. It was fun, you guys. Winter is great as long as you have the right gear, and to me that means no slipping and staying dry. Therefore, snowshoeing gets two thumbs up.\r\n\r\nWhat can I say? It\'s logic.\r\n<a title=\"After much begging, the 5 year old is at the Burton snowboarding school and, at least from afar, he seems at home. by Everyday Treats (@Miguelina), on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/diary/8486304282/\"><img alt=\"After much begging, the 5 year old is at the Burton snowboarding school and, at least from afar, he seems at home.\" src=\"http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8383/8486304282_dc07211b99.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" /></a>\r\n\r\nMy sons all skied, including the three year old. But the five year old has been obsessed with snowboarding lately, so we signed him up for the Burton program at the mountain. He was in heaven. The seven year old turned eight while on the mountain, skiing. It was great, except for the fact that it was 6 degrees and windy two of the days, and that called for a lot of gear. A LOT.\r\n\r\nGuess who was responsible for getting them all dressed and at their classes on time?\r\n\r\nThat\'s right.\r\n\r\nBut I didn\'t mind, because once I dropped the boys and husband off at their respective spots on the slopes, I went back to the hotel and treated myself to my book and my coffee and sugar waffles.\r\n\r\n<a title=\"This is my reward for getting all four guys dressed and on the slopes.

After wishing her the happiest of days I started to apologize for being such a horrible friend and dropping the ball, etc... when she interrupted me.\r\n\r\n\"Just tell me one thing,\" she asked, \"how do you do it all?\"\r\n\r\nHow do<em> I</em> do it all?\r\n\r\nME?\r\n\r\n\"You have three kids and a husband who travels and a job and you volunteer at both schools and I don\'t know how you do it...\"\r\n\r\nI, um, eh...\r\n\r\nI confessed that I don\'t do it all, and then tried to explain, in the five minutes we had before my friend had to get off the phone, in as non-rambly and succinctly a way as possible that we can\'t do it all and that we need to give each other a break and what\'s important in life, and all this stuff in the house, let\'s get rid of it, and, \"OK, you\'ve got the get off the phone? I get it love you, bye!\"\r\n\r\nMy point, inelegant as it was, was that we\'re all stressing out because there\'s just too much to do. And most of the pressure comes from within. And we have to give ourselves a break.\r\n\r\nHow do I do it all? I don\'t. And you don\'t either, so stop driving yourself crazy.\r\n\r\nI just wish that I could have explained it better to my friend. But you know, life.\r\n\r\nA few days after that, <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1937134342/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1937134342&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=mothisblisort-20\">MINIMALIST PARENTING: Enjoy Modern Family Life More by Doing Less</a><img style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=mothisblisort-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1937134342\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" />, arrived on my doorstep. It was written by two friends of mine, <a href=\"http://www.bostonmamas.com/\">Christine Koh</a> and <a href=\"http://www.parenthacks.com/\">Asha Dornfest</a>.*\r\n\r\n(I realize that there are a lot of friends on this post, but what can I say? I get by with a little help from them.)\r\n\r\nHere\'s the thing about Asha and Christine and their book: Reading their book is like sitting with your wisest friends and getting the simple, honest truth you need to hear ALONG with simple real-life ways to make said truth part of your life.\r\n\r\nI loved the book. I agree with the book. I\'ve always been a minimalist parent at heart (I suspect many of you are) but I\'ve let distractions creep and make me lose my way.\r\n\r\nThis book is a love letter to moms and dads everywhere, with a simple message: Trust yourself.\r\n\r\nI know you know to do this, but how? It\'s in the book. Seeing it in black and white makes all the difference in the world. TRUST.\r\n\r\nHere\'s what I think you should do: <a href=\"http://www.minimalistparenting.com/mincamp/\">Sign up for MinCamp</a> -- it\'s free and EASY. You\'ll get a taste for the book and the Minimalist Parenting approach, and I guarantee you\'ll get a sense of peace out of the deal.\r\n\r\n<em>*Confession: I\'ve only met Asha once, but she is the kind of woman that becomes an instant friend, such is her warmth and kindness. I feel like I\'ve know her forever. And Christine? She\'s a powerhouse. I know because <a href=\"http://pivotboston.com/\">I\'ve worked with her</a>. And she\'s fun. I know because we go out for drinks on occasion. In conclusion, these ladies know what\'s up.

TRUST.\r\n\r\nHere\'s what I think you should do: <a href=\"http://www.minimalistparenting.com/mincamp/\">Sign up for MinCamp</a> -- it\'s free and EASY. You\'ll get a taste for the book and the Minimalist Parenting approach, and I guarantee you\'ll get a sense of peace out of the deal.\r\n\r\n<em>*Confession: I\'ve only met Asha once, but she is the kind of woman that becomes an instant friend, such is her warmth and kindness. I feel like I\'ve know her forever. And Christine? She\'s a powerhouse. I know because <a href=\"http://pivotboston.com/\">I\'ve worked with her</a>. And she\'s fun. I know because we go out for drinks on occasion. In conclusion, these ladies know what\'s up. Listen to them.</em>\r\n\r\n[gallery link=\"post\" ids=\"4525,4524,4523,4522,4521,4520\" orderby=\"rand\"]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Minimalist Parenting: Or, how I don\'t do it all. At all.

I couldn\'t imagine having to go through that with a child.\n\nThe thing is, my world has mostly been a woman\'s world - and I\'ve liked it.  I can\'t help it if I imagined myself sharing it with a daughter.  I like going out with \"the girls.\"  I like \"girly\" things (I can spend hours at stationery shops - it\'s scary how happy pretty paper can make me.)   Even at business school, where we only made up 30% of the class, the ladies were mostly in charge.  I\'ve always worked in companies where women outnumber men - and in industries where it was all about the woman\'s purchasing power - because we make most of the economic decisions anyways.  So for me, it has been all about being a woman.\n\nBut not anymore.\n\nWhen we found out that our family would be a boy family, my OB-GYN (a woman, of course) put her hand on my shoulder, looked me in the eyes and said \"as a mother of three boys, I have to warn you:  Your bathrooms will never be the same.\"  And with a wink and a smile, I was initiated into a new sisterhood, one that I never really knew existed - I became a Mom Of Boys.  And you know what?  I think I will like it.  I get to be the sole female in the house, and thus expect to be spoiled accordingly.  I can see it now - I\'ll start wearing pink and carrying a fluffy white dog to counterbalance the testosterone levels at home.  And spa days with the girls will probably be the standard Mother\'s Day present for a while.  I\'ll get to be a girly-girl, not only guilt-free but also for diversity\'s sakes.  It is my duty!  Of course, it also means that I have to be a role model and will represent All Of Womanhood to my boys for many, many years - that\'s a little scary (specially if I do indulge in all the girly things I\'m imagining right now), but I don\'t have to worry about that for a while.  (How very Scarlett O\'Hara of me!  I\'m even turning into a Southern Belle.)\n\nIt also means that I get to be the Mother-In-Law.  Twice.   I don\'t know if that makes me want to laugh maniacally or cry.','Boys','','publish','open','open','','boys-2','','','2011-01-20 16:10:13','2011-01-20 21:10:13','',0,'http://frogandsnail.com/?p=38',0,'post','',2),(4580,2,'2011-01-20 16:18:28','2011-01-20 21:18:28','<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n\n<em><a href=\"http://www.everydaytreats.com/2009/05/my-three-sons-hold-me.html\">(Originally published May, 2009)</a></em>\n\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-43\" href=\"http://frogandsnail.com/2011/01/my-three-sons/my-three-sons-2/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-43\" title=\"My three sons\" src=\"http://frogandsnail.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/My-three-sons-300x226.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" /></a>\n\nIt\'s official: I\'m a mom of <a href=\"http://diary.blogs.com/the_diary_of_a_reluctant_/2006/12/boys.html\">boys</a>!\n\nI wasn\'t the <a href=\"http://diary.blogs.com/the_diary_of_a_reluctant_/2009/03/let-the-guessing-games-begin.html\">least bit surprised </a>when the ultrasound clearly showed the extra appendage that made it official.

At 9:00 PM.  After dinner and a snack.\n\nI may need to go back to work just to pay for the extra groceries.\n\nThen again, I\'ve already trained the boys to always put the toilet seat down AND to wipe the toilet after each use.

In other words, what you probably need are more instruction manuals...not more LEGO sets.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.brickfactory.info/index.html\">My favorite LEGO resource is the Brickfactory</a> -- a fan-created website that contains scans of LEGO instruction manuals that go all the way back to 1958. Maybe you had a favorite set growing up? There\'s a good chance they\'ve scanned the manual. Now you and your kids can put the piles of LEGO you already own to good use. How cool is that?\n\nRemember that you <a href=\"http://shop.lego.com/pab/\">can buy individual bricks directly from LEGO</a> to supplement your collection. You don\'t have to buy the branded sets all the time.\n\nWant to learn how to build that Rolls Royce pictured above?

WART.  I kind of think I always thought I would have girls... girls are delicate and quiet, boys are not.  When I had William and then Alexander and then Benjamin and then Henry... oh, mama mia... there\'s blocks and cars and dinosaurs and lightsabers and swords.  These are boys.  When the boys were 3 and under... I remember trying to keep the playroom as clean as can be.  I remember trying to quiet them down.  I remember I would say, \"Boys, no wrestling!\"  Then I realized... this is what it\'s like having sons.  You can\'t sweat the small stuff.  My house will not always be clean.  My house will not always (or ever) be quiet.  But these are the things I love and I crave and I need and I always want in my life!\n\nThere is too much in life to enjoy to sweat the small stuff in my life with my boys!\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://bit.ly/gTtPQ7\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http://frogandsnail.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/beaboygenius.png\" alt=\"\" /></a></p>','Boy Genius!

That was even worse.  I mean, boys are for dating and marrying, not rearing.  The good news is that a few baby classes and introductions to other clueless moms got me off to a good start, albeit a bumpy one.  And, I\'ve learned a few things along the way.  So, with 5 years now under my belt, here are a few tips to rearing a boy:\n<ol>\n	<li>Feign interest in any kind of vehicle.  Stop to watch bulldozers.  Point out garbage trucks.  Check out library books about trains.  Soon you will be talking with your son about semaphores and pantographs knowingly, and all your friends with daughters will think you are some kind of boy rearing wizard as they marvel at your heavy machinery knowledge.</li>\n	<li>If you don\'t excel at sports, don\'t worry.  Your son really does have all that \"boyness\" in him that he needs.  He won\'t become girly just because you\'d rather take him shopping than head out to the soccer field.  Trust me.  I know.</li>\n	<li>Your husband will have to become involved in your son\'s rearing once in a while.  Enjoy it.  You can leave it to him to explain exactly how you pee standing up.</li>\n	<li>Think of his need to run, climb, and play as an opportunity for you to grab a quick workout.  Play tag with him. Make a huge snowman.  Go biking every weekend.  Why not let your son keep you in shape, and who ever complained about being the hot mom the whole block envies anyway?</li>\n	<li>When friends parenting girls complain about the cliques in pre-school, shrug and sympathize, thanking God you have a sensible boy who couldn\'t care less about the \"in\" group.</li>\n</ol>\nOf course, there\'s lots more to learn about raising boys, and my \"knowledge\" is definitely limited (to 5 years, to be exact).  Girlfriends?  Driver\'s licenses?  I\'m definitely scared.  Looks like I may be able to reach out to this community, though.  I like to think we\'re all in this together, you know?\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://bit.ly/gTtPQ7\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http://frogandsnail.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/beaboygenius.png\" alt=\"\" /></a></p>','Boy Genius!

Thanks so much, Sean! </em>\n\n<strong>We love that you\'ve created a career for yourself doing what you love. How did you come up with the idea to become a LEGO artist? You were sitting at your desk and then...</strong>\n\nBefore I became a LEGO professional, I worked as a cartoonist, a graphic artist, and a web site designer.  I spent 10 years designing web site interfaces and web user experiences, and I wore a suit every day to work.\n\nBut the whole time, my \"inner child\" was itching to get out and play!   Every night after work I would go home and play with my LEGO toys... sometimes while I was still in my suit!\n\nOne day I was sitting in my office in a cold-looking, quiet, boring, 40-story glass skyscraper on Park Avenue in New York.  I was sitting at my desk but I wasn\'t working; I was daydreaming about beautiful architecture and bright LEGO colors and thinking about what I would build with LEGO bricks when I got home.  It was about then that I realized that was exactly what I needed to do...  I should follow my dreams.  So I stood up, took off my tie, and walked straight out -- just like that, in the middle of the day.  And I never looked back.\n\n<strong>Wow. You have 1.5 million LEGO bricks. How do you keep them organized? (It looks like you color-coordinate them -- what else do you do?)</strong>\n\nI have between 1 and 2 million LEGO pieces... so I have an incredibly huge system in place to store and organize them all.  (...Industrial storage cabinets, warehouse shelves, you name it!)   But if you\'re interested in sorting your collection, there are a few easy ways you can do so...\n\nFirstly, keep in mind that sorting your LEGO collection can take a long time and requires constant work to keep it organized.  That can take a lot of the fun out of playtime.  More importantly, having a sorted LEGO collection completely changes the LEGO play experience... what is normally an organic, exploratory process (\"lets see, how can I make a car?\") changes into a design-based process (\"I\'ve decided to use piece X, so let me go find it\").\n\nI vividly recall a time when I was 8 or 9 years old and my very-well meaning father purchased some parts organizers for my sprawling LEGO collection.  I tried using them, but it just never seemed any fun at the time.  Perhaps kids just need to have a mess at hand sometimes. :)\n\nSo if you\'re just looking to tame a large sprawling collection, it\'s often easiest to simply separate the large, medium, and small pieces into three separate bins.  This way you never loose all the little cool parts at the bottom of your LEGO bin, but you still keep the spontaneity of LEGO play.\n\nBut if you\'re looking to really hunker down and organize... any \"parts organizer\" is a great start.  These are the sets of clear plastic slide-out drawers that are normally used to store nuts &amp; bolts in your garage or basement.   These are available in places like Target or Wal-mart.  Another favorite of mine are portable storage containers normally used for craft organization. These are generally clear rectangular bins with a snap-top lid and several compartments.  The Container Store has a lot of good options.\n\nAlso, I would avoid the temptation to sort simply by color.  (\"Red here, blue there\".)  While this might seem easy to organize, it makes finding specific pieces very hard.  It\'s a better idea to put similar shapes of varied colors together.  (For example, all your basic bricks in one place, slopes in another place, windows and doors in another... etc.)\n\n<strong>What was your first original LEGO creation, and how old were you?</strong>\n\nI have had LEGO toys around as long as I can remember...  I found photos of myself stacking together pieces when I was 2 years old.  As a young boy, I loved building towns, and I would take apart all my LEGO City sets and combine the parts into apartment high-rises, office buildings, car repair garages, and lots of cars and trucks and trains.  I built a lot of spaceships and robots as I got older, but then as an adult I returned to building cities...  my first big creations as an adult were two models of New York City, <a href=\"http://www.seankenney.com/portfolio/first_city/\">http://www.seankenney.com/portfolio/first_city/</a> and <a href=\"http://www.seankenney.com/portfolio/greenwich_village/\">http://www.seankenney.com/portfolio/greenwich_village/</a> that had a subway train under the city streets, 6-foot tall skyscrapers, department stores, restaurants, taxis, traffic, street vendors, and lots more!  It\'s still one of my favorites, and I still have it... in fact, it will be making a special appearance in my next book, \"Cool City\" (Henry Holt, September 2011) so stay tuned!\n\n<a href=\"http://frogandsnail.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/www.seankenney.com-baseball.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-518\" title=\"www.seankenney.com baseball\" src=\"http://frogandsnail.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/www.seankenney.com-baseball-300x172.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"172\" /></a>\n\n<strong>Is there something you can\'t build out of LEGO?
