Good Fun worth Capturing

With today’s technologies and yesterday’s traditional ways of capturing memories, there are a host of different ways to make strong family memories last so that they can be enjoyed with warm nostalgia for years to come.

Moments in Time

Always keep the digital and video cameras charged-up and ready to capture not only event moments, but spontaneous times like baby’s first step or your little one’s sudden inspiration to dance to his favourite song.

Special Scrap Book

Even with the efficiency of digital scrapbooking, there’s something about the physical scrapbook that inspires us to create these wonderful keepsakes. Keeping them updated and full of pictures and mementos can be a wonderful way to interact and bond with your family while putting together libraries of your unique family history that will bring everyone laughter for years to come.

The Family Diary

A family diary is a neat variation on the scrapbook and involves writing vs. pasting in pictures and such. The idea is that every member of the family adds their thoughts at the end of each special event, noting what they liked, memorable moments or just simple observations. It’s a wonderful way of capturing growth among family members and truly getting a sense of their unique voices in life.

Ink and Pen

Book of Wisdoms

A great variation to the family diary is the dinner party "book of wisdoms". Just have different guests each contribute a sentiment to your book. Ask for words of wisdom or personal philosophies to make this book a great tabletop talk piece once all your friends have contributed.

Memories to Keep

Create something unique and fun for every special gathering. Start by identifying which holidays you want to commemorate this way; then have the kids craft something special for the event. It could be anything from a table centerpiece, to a card, to a poem. Just make sure your kids sign their item and make a note of the year. Over time, you’ll have a veritable museum of historical pieces that will take you through the warmest of years gone by.
