Fracture Grand Inauguration

Giggle Magazine's PR and Marketing Director, Allen Haynes, had an awesome experience at the Grand Inauguration/ Ribbon-Cutting/belated Grand Opening of Fracture on August 9 and we wanted to share some pics with you all.

If you haven't heard of Fracture, you're missing out! This unique company creates customized, vibrant glass displays of your favorite photographs and memories that can be displayed pretty much anywhere! 

Check out Fracture's website to see some examples of what a "fracture" is and we guarantee you'll want one for your home. Giggle Magazine even has a few fractures around the office.

Fun with Food

In these sweltering August days sometimes it feels too hot to eat. Everything melts within seconds and piping hot food just sounds unappealing. 

In search for some cooler lunch options, we came across some much cooler (looking) lunch and snack ideas than we originally had in mind! 

How cute would these treats be to pack for a special first-day-back-to-school lunch? Especially the bear sandwich!

Home Decor: Family Recipes

Most people have a traditional family recipe, one that is a classic dish with an original twist, is always requested for potlucks and parties or is a secret only shared amongst fellow family members.

Some recipes that come to mind are my great grandmother's recipe for arroz con pollo (the Cuban version of chicken and rice), my grandmother's authentic Italian meatball recipe (evidently I don't get this one 'til marriage...we'll see about that) and my mom's signature key lime pie recipe.

All of these recipes have very different origins, but they reflect the diversity of my family and the generational love of cooking that my whole family possesses, which is pretty cool.

And just like the history that is captured through photographs and displayed prominently on the walls of our homes, why shouldn't our family culinary histories also be displayed?

We love these ideas of taking hand written family recipes and framing them for some truly original home decor!

What are some recipes you would display?

Display recipes using multicolored and differently sized frames.

Take your recipe to a printing store and blow it up to put in a large frame.

Hang recipes in frames using ribbon.
