My goal this year was to achieve balance. Part of that was tackling some things that I have needed to do, but really dislike and so have not done. Major one was Memory keeping or Keepsakes! I have not printed out pictures since the advent of digital cameras. Yep. I am terrible. I would so much rather keep playing under the table with the kids.
I have set some goals to get a handle on this area for the month of February.
- Buy a flash drive to back up photos.
- Look into digital picture frames.
- Order an 8x10 photo of Sophie at 3mos for a scrapbook.
- Buy 2 new Albums. (I put the kids professionally taken photos in an Album, or will)
- Buy a variety of scrapbook papers cheaply.
- Make a first year photo book for all 3 kids.
- Make a binder for kids special artwork and school papers.
Some ways I intend to accomplish this is to work 10 minutes a day on it. I have found in other areas of my life if I set a time line/limit, that I can handle anything for x number of minutes. I have to say that this has helped me tremendously. It is only the fourth and I have ordered one photobook, the other is waiting for a good deal to come on shutterfly before I order it. So really just need to do the most recent child! And then the other stuff. Sigh. But with only 10 minutes per day, I can see the end. Of course the rest of the last ten years will have to wait for another month! LOL!
