Organizing Thursday: Storage Picture Frame

I have a pile of artwork on my kitchen counter I haven’t dealt with since it landed there on the last day of school.
Maybe by the end of the summer, I’ll organize it in a frame like this one. This wood frame both displays and stores your kid’s artwork — it opens like a book and has elastic straps for storage. It even includes a white mat for a professional looking display.
This artwork frame is available at Amazon.

I have a recommendation and a question. For the recommendation, I was feeling completely worn out and not myself. I am usually someone who pops up in the morning and enjoys physical activity. Instead, I felt tired and sad a lot. I guessed that I was low on iron (which has happened in the past). As soon as I started taking iron, I felt better. It always takes me too long to remember to try that so I wanted to recommend it to other moms.
For my question, I got a promotion (yay!) and I need a new headshot (boo!). Any tips for a good headshot? I don’t know how to do makeup (beyond tinted moisturizer and a little eyeliner) and I wear glasses. I welcome any advice!
I love the idea of this storage picture frame! It’s always a struggle to figure out what to do with my kids’ artwork. This frame seems like a great solution to keep their drawings organized and displayed. I’ll check it out on Amazon. Thanks for the recommendation!
Did anyone have serious vein issues following pregnancy? I’ve had varicose/spider veins my entire adult life (and had some removed in my early 20s bc of discomfort), but WOW i was not expecting the changes post-(2) pregnancies. I need to schedule an appointment to start discussing options but frankly I’m a little terrified. I’m fairly sure I’m going to be diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency given my symptoms (including ankle discoloration).
Has anyone decided to stay at home and take a pause on their career because their kid was having behavioral problems? He’s (2.5) currently in full time daycare. I don’t know if staying at home with me full time is the answer, but it’s hard to juggle work and meet his emotional needs also. Basically I’m just really struggling and wondering if dropping one ball (work) will make it easier for me.
We are getting him evaluated soon.
Speaking of kid art/project storage, I have a Keepsake Portfolio for each kid that starts with Pre-K and should have enough folders to go to 6th grade. I’ve liked that for keeping the highlights of my older kid’s elementary journals and other projects as I think it’ll be fun to look back on those one day. But we’ve also got bins of random artwork that I would like to take pictures of to keep digitally and then toss, but haven’t done that yet. Anyone else have storage ideas?
