Today I'm linking up with Emily and some other ladies on Making Memories. I'm probably not the best at this category because I'm not crafty really, my main way to making memories is taking pictures, and boy do I take lots of them! As bad as it is that I primarily use my iPhone it's also great because unlike our parents - we don't have to go get a camera, we're able to capture memories as they happen.

Another way I try to make memories is by talking to my daughter (since she's older) about things that we've done to keep try refreshing her memory so hopefully she doesn't forget. Also, when we do something "fun" I always ask her "What was your favorite part?" and she always tells me. I know that we really don't remember that much from our toddler years, so hopefully by having little conversations here and there she can soak in some fun memories. Plus what's better than hearing your kids talk and express themselves?
And of course my newest outlet of making memories is blogging. It is so much fun making an online scrapbook, and I know I will love looking back to see what was going on in our lives.

Can't wait to get some pointers from everyone else!
iPhones are seriously amazing for photos!! We pretty much always have them on us!! And starting the dialogue about "what was your favorite part" of activities is adorable! I bet you've gotten some fun answers!
