Memory Keeping – A Reflection of You {Giveaway}
I’m a picture-taking fool.
I think I got this endearing trait from my mother. I can remember whining, “Mom, enough with the camera already.” And now my daughter echos my adolescent impatience. If you follow me on Instagram or even Facebook – look out. You will likely get tired of the photos of my everyday life (i.e. my kids doing things only I find precious and yet still feel compelled to share with the world). I admire those moms who find the patience and the time to participate in scrapbooking rituals such as the amazing Project Life phenomenon that is taking over the world. I’m content to simply create one digital photo book per year and regularly switch out the photos that adorn our walls (I’m so old school).
Whatever your method for capturing and preserving memories, they are likely some of the most precious possessions you have. We are so blessed to have the options we have to chronicle our lives and the lives of our children. Now that we are inundated with Pinterest pins and Instagram feeds, it would be easy to feel overwhelmed or even as though we can’t measure up to other moms out there. Whether you go to town recording and capturing every moment or you follow a simple, minimalist method of memory keeping – the final product should reflect you and your family. Don’t get caught up in the competition of the process or you will miss out on the point.
We are excited to have the chance to do a fun giveaway this week in partnership with UPrinting.com
One lucky winner will receive one of UPrinting.com’s 16″ x 20″ Rolled Canvas Prints {free shipping in the US only}.
Their turn around time is pretty quick so you just might be able to give the print as a mother’s day gift!

We’d love to hear your methods of preserving memories. What’s worked for you? Share with us in the comments for one entry to win this great prize!

I love taking pictures of my boys. I want to get a really good one of them playing together. So many sweet moments and I need to have my camera out more often!

Depending on how long this is good for, we are expecting our Rainbow Twins in November! Or I would choose the ways we are remembering our precious daughter that went to heaven 15 months ago…
Sounds great!
My family lives in a different state. Capturing memories for me has turned into a constant thought in the back of mind not only for myself but so my family can feel as though they’re a part of the memories too. I love pictures, I’m always surprised that photos can capture the emotions of the moments so well! Daily, I create little photo spreads and take 30 second videos and send them to my family. I don’t only want them to see only the big moments and memories but the every day, little ones as well. SO thankful for cameras!
