We are heading out today for two weeks of beach vacationing--yay!

Things around here will more or less proceed as usual, with guest posts, reposts, and beach photos in abundance, no doubt. (And yes, I also plan on taking a serious break from screen time, too!)

Have a lovely weekend and think of me with sand in my toes and the sun on my face...

Preserving Family Memories the Simple Way

The following post is written by Steady Mom's monthly contributor, Kat.

Confession #1: I'm not crafty. At all. I don't stamp, sew or knit. I stink at scrapbooking. I'm not even good at printing photos and putting in frames around the house.

Confession #2: I like memories. I like to keep papers with little painted handprints. I like to keep mementos from vacations, school events and milestones in our family life.

This, my friends, is a bad combo.

The Problem

I have a couple boxes of mementos that I always "mean" to put in a scrapbook of some sort, but I never do (see confession #1). As a result, we only revisit fun memories when I sort through the boxes.

Sadly, I rarely sort through them and when I do it's usually without the children around, even though I know they'd love to be reminded of some of the fun places we've been and things we've done.

The Perfect Solution - A Memory Box

I'm stepping away from this space for a few days to deal with life--you know, real life, like away from the computer?!

Little people need some extra attention--and this parenting thing, as you well know, is not for the faint of heart. If anyone has good advice for raising adopted triplets, send it my way!

I'll be back on Tuesday for the Moms' 30-Minute Blog Challenge, and I'll share our last interview participant then.

Have a lovely weekend!
