Do You Have a Digital Photo Organization Plan?

In this digital age, it’s easy to capture and store countless images on our computers, phones, tablets etc.   However, a growing collection of digital photos, scattered throughout our multiple devices, may seem overwhelming to organize.  What’s a memory keeper to do…?

Creating Children’s Valentine Cards in My Memories Suite V3

There’s nothing I dislike more than cheap children’s Valentine cards sold in stores nowadays.  Just a few years ago, cards at least came with envelopes.  They were cheap but at least there were envelopes.  Now?  Cards are one sided (some fold over and a sticker is used to keep them shut) and kids have minimal space to address their friends’ names and sign their name.

I’d like to show you how... Read More

2012 New Year’s Interview Printable

I thought it would be fun to start a New Year’s Interview tradition with my kids so I created the .pdf below. My goal is to capture the memory of some of their favorite things and special memories, but more importantly to get them to reflect on this past year and to anticipate 2012.
