This post about The Daily Digi reminded me that it is because I am passionate about memories and preserving those memories that I do what I do.
I take time to enjoy family life because I want to make memories with them.
I scrapbook and blog to preserve those memories.
I love looking back and remembering what life is like at a certain time.
I am constantly doing this through my blog archives or through thumbing through the pages of my scrapbooks and family albums.
On Saturday Rachel at Finding Joy posted a picture of herself with her blog for memory sake.
She challenged her readers to do the same. To take a picture of themselves with their blog to perserve this memory of what we’re doing, the words we’re writing and the time we’re investing in this amazing thing called blogging.
What a neat idea!!!
MC took this picture of me and DailyDwelling. This space has changed so much since I started posting in 2007. Just last week I was looking through the archives and marveling at how much has changed in my life and on this blog in that time.
I’m looking forward to make a layout of this memory.
I’ll share that as soon as it’s completed.
For now, I’ll give you this….
Thank you for allowing me to share my memories here with you!
I think this is a great time for you to let me know a little about you. Do you have a blog? (share the link so I can visit you!) How long have you been reading DailyDwelling? Are you new here? Any questions about me…our family…???
Comment and ask away!!

What an awesome idea! My blog has changed so many times and I can’t remember how I originally started out. I think it was just some blank blogspot template. Can’t idea to capture the journey. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve been reading for 6 months or so? I think I found your blog thru a staycation post from another blog since we live in the same city (I live in the Southside). I don’t blog but enjoy reading others! I have a 4 year old and 17 month old, both girls and stay at home with them.
