Blogging Your Baby

In 2005, I received a beautiful journal, complete with leather covering, as a Christmas present from my wife. She bought it for me because I mentioned that I wanted to write a bit about my experiences as a father and have a conversation with my daughter.

I stared at it every day on my dresser, but the guilt was not enough to pick it up and write. How lazy can I possibly be? … Continue reading →

Heritage Albums

Do you know what a heritage album is? In short, it’s an album you make of photos of your ancestors. I did my first one last year. We took a trip the summer before last down to Southern California. While we were there, we dropped in on dh’s dad. We hadn’t seen him in years. Paul’s parents divorced when he was young and he was raised by his stepfather. It was an interesting time as we spent several days there really getting to know them for the first time. Chuck (Paul’s dad) had saved a lot of photos of his … Continue reading →

Remembering the Fun

Whether your photographic storage solution involves Apple’s iPhoto program, like this writer, neatly organized photo albums or even a gigantic canvas beach bag filled to the brim with packages of pictures like my mother once employed, you should take the time to sit down as a family, flip through some photos and reminisce about the fun times, cool sights and goofy moments you experienced together. My family had a pretty exciting 2006. We traveled great distances three times: The Gulf Coast of Florida, Maine, and France. We also made shorter trips to New York City, Philadelphia and a couple of … Continue reading →

Create a Review of this Past Year as a Family

This is a great family project to help keep memories fresh and to relive special moments together. You can use a scrapbook or create a keepsake book of your own design for this purpose. Have everyone think over the things that happened or the occasions that occurred or the special things you did together as a family throughout the year.

You Will Then Need: An album or binder in the size of … Continue reading →
