I was talking to my husband yesterday, about how I never want to forget some of the smallest moments that happen as King and Harley grow up – a nickname, how they say a word, or how they gently crossed their feet as they ate. I take a MILLION pictures, some end up here on the blog, some on Instagram (username: baby_blackbird), and a lot we just keep for ourselves. Pictures are wonderful captures of our everyday, but it’s really only part of the moment.
I remember when I was growing up, when people actually developed photographs, my Mom used to write little notes on the backs (dates, or ages, something about that day, etc). So, I decided I would do my own version of writing on the back of photos, capturing those little moments with words and the picture. This might be a regular feature on the blog – my way of saving some of the little moments I want to remember forever.
sometimes I wish there was a way to just freeze time, or at least have an ongoing camera following us around, capturing those small moments.
Freeze time, always!
Precious!!! There are so many things I want to remember, too. First, I need to make sure I download the bazillions of pictures I take of my kids.
You have the hardest step crossed off, you take lots of pictures. 🙂
That is such a great idea!
Thank you!
I am notorious for taking a gazillion beautiful and memorable photographs, all which are hiding somewhere in my computer. What are they doing there? I dont know. But your right, we really need to get back in time and start developing them, like they did before. I dont it would be as memorable, flipping through a million undeveloped images on iphoto than actually finding an old family album hiding beneath your parents bed. 🙂 Thanks for the reminder Brandy!
I need to remind myself to print some too! It’s dirt cheap to print, so we really have no excuse. 🙂
i love it <3 so so sweet
