I remember as a child that we always had a world globe sitting on top of our TV. It wasn’t just a decoration…the globe was pretty battered and worn. We would play games with it all the time – spin it as fast as we could and stop our fingers on a country. The last I remember, it was very faded, the paper was lifting and edges were torn. I’m thinking it was tossed away, but I wish we still had it. I’ve been thinking about that globe lately and how I want a globe in our home – one that can be played with so that the children have an opportunity to explore the world and see how countries and oceans make it up. Then I started spotting globes, maps and some great creations on Pinterest and I’m loving them – wouldn’t the world map make a great theme for decorating a boy’s bedroom?
The kids were INSANE. Spotlight for them = running races and hiding spots and crazy antics. The man who was serving me at the desk asked them about 50 times to stop climbing on the shelf, don’t stand on the fabric, get out of that hole…all the while I smiled sweetly at him and them. Isn’t it nice when someone else does your parenting for you! Seriously man, if you are going to have a massive $2m table piled high with fabric then get cutting and ignore the naughty children!
