One of the many hats you wear as a mom is memory keeper. No pressure, but those little snaps on your phone are what preserves your kids childhood. Ever felt stressed when it comes to, 'what to do with all those digital photos you're pilling high?' Perfect! You're in the right spot. I'm going to walk you through my best tips for making a family photo album.
Imagine this if you will. You take an adorable photo of your toddler with birthday cake all over their face. The photo is safely sitting inside your phone. Later that night you thumb through the days activities and can't believe he's another year older! Ugh the time!
You set your phone down and flip on Netflix cause, well it's been a day! Go to bed, and morning comes too fast. The next day happens and then the next and that little photo with the birthday cake gets piled on. The memories of each day after. Then 15 years down the road you have a teenager. He's driving!! If only you could go back. If the two of you could sit on the couch one evening and flip through that birthday and the cake and the little hands and bath time and reading on that very same couch The Little Blue Truck for the 900th time!
But you can't. Cause those photos, those memories from today are buried under thousands of other memories.
If this is giving you a little bit of low level anxiety and the fire in your belly to get something done today then great! That's what we're going to do. I want to go deep with you into this issue because it's more important than we may think.
This week, I take you through the best tips for making a family photo album. Tips I've learned and figured out from the past 7 years of doing this process. A family photo album has become one of the best gifts I give myself and those that share the same 4 walls with me!

Whether overwhelm is easy or difficult for you to admit to, the chances that you've experienced or are currently experiencing overwhelm is extremely high. Especially in motherhood.
It's possible that to live intentionally you have to first identify that you might be floating. For some reason it seems a little bit easier to live in a state of denial or misdiagnosis than to actually see where we might be sick.
These moments in your family's life are priceless. But let me ask you a question, where are all the memories of your kids? I'm guessing that if you were to pull out your phone right now you would find them all living on your phone memory! Maybe you've printed a few, maybe you've tried scrapbooks?
If you know anything about me, then you know photo organization is my passion! I know some people might have a passion like giving extra shoes to kids in Africa or working with an orphanage in Nicaragua. Although I love those things too they aren't my purpose in life.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/theunhurriedlifeWell happy new year and welcome to new, fresh motivation! I’m so glad you’re here because this is a great way to start off.
