Capturing Summer’s Magic

Strategies for Busy Moms and Families to Embrace and Remember the Season

Ok, so you have taken all the photos, hopefully, of daily life and potential vacations. But what do we do with these photos?

There are a few things that you should consider. Do you want to enjoy them temporarily? Enjoy them forever? Or get them in your hands the fastest? All of these are great considerations. But let's chat about a few of the options.

Digital Frames

Digital frames (Aura Frame) are amazing devices that give a modern twist to the picture frame. They are easy to set up, you add photos and videos directly from your phone. You can also invite family and friends to add photos. Set up in minutes on WiFi and instantly add photos and videos from your phone using the free Aura app. Works with Apple and Android devices. Free, unlimited storage. No fees. Picture frames have been around for ages, right? They're meant to display our cherished memories captured in photographs. Well, digital frames take that concept and bring it into the digital age.

Once you've loaded up your digital frame with photos, it becomes a rotating slideshow of your memories.

Chatbooks

Monthly Minis: Not an affiliate, I truly LOVE Chatbooks! I have a subscription to their monthly minis, I pick 30 photos, and then it prints and ships. They are inexpensive and durable. My kiddos (5, 3, and 1) LOVE them, well, maybe not the 1-year-old. They look forward to the mail and seeing the photos in the books. For $7 a month, it is perfect!

Vacation or Summer Album

Summer is typically a more relaxed time, well maybe not with littles, but for sure with hard routines and schedules. You could take all of your summer photos and make a Summer album to showcase memories from the summer.

A vacation album allows you to preserve and capture the memories of your trip. It serves as a visual record of your experiences, including the places you visited, the people you met, and the activities you enjoyed. Looking back at your vacation album can allow you to reflect on the enjoyable moments you had during your trip. Allowing you to share your adventures with family, friends, and even future generations. The best part is, I can do this for you.

Finally, most importantly, kids need to see themselves in photos in your home. Seeing themselves in family photo albums helps children develop a sense of self-identity and belonging. They can see their own growth, development, and milestones captured over time. It reinforces their place within the family unit and fosters a sense of connection and identity within their family history. Family photo albums allow kiddos to establish an emotional connection with their past and their family members. They can see their parents, siblings, grandparents, and other relatives in different stages of their lives. This connection helps them build a stronger bond with their family and develop a deeper understanding of their roots.
