I keep saying I want to print all those photos out and at least put them in an album but I NEVER get around to it. This looks like it would be so easy to maintain.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.<br />xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231196028453953524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121496840777905850.post-75745999784126330202014-05-05T16:13:37.058-07:002014-05-05T16:13:37.058-07:00Love this!

Even though some of my children had already by then left home. I still take some of their news they send our way {with pictures} and include it all in our "Family History". I find it faster and simpler for me to blog it. I can drag photos into a post rather than print and paste actual photos like I use to do. I can type faster than write.. like I use to do. Our blog is private of course, with a select group of friends and family being invited...but that's not what I do it for. It really is my journal, and our family's history. At first they thought I was a crazy woman with a camera and wasn't sure if this record keeping was good for my health. lol. But now THEY are into it also. Making sure I don't forget camera, asking me to take certain photos of them, or just picking it up themselves in hopes that I include the photos they take. It's now become this HUGE family project. I get a thrill when I see the actual book printed at the end of each year and go back and flip the pages...reminding me of those things I quickly forgot about. Reminding me that no matter what...we are family .......and we are still getting through it! Whatever that "it" may be. <br /><br />I truly loved your post. You are so right. Start them young. Let them see how important journalling is. More importantly ....let them see how important THEY are to you. ; ) Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17650386366226859611noreply@blogger.com
