How to Preserve All Those Baby Pictures (plus some encouragement for moms, too)

Oh, baby pictures!  There's nothing like them.  Chubby cheeks and sleeping smiles.  First steps and first foods.  If there's a baby in your life, your phone is probably full of pictures of him/her.  

Digital images are easy to share, from texting to social media, but if you want those precious pictures to last, they need to have more to them than a jpeg file name.


You probably already know about the risks of anything digital, such as {hard drive crashes and stolen phones}.  So what is important to know about digital photos and preserving them?  What's the best way to store these cherished photos for years and years to come?  

Michele and Shiree from {Confessions of Parenting} asked me delve into these questions and give some advice on what to do with baby pictures to make sure they are preserved.

Here at my guest blogger post you'll find answers to those questions, solutions to photo concerns, and four fantastic ideas for making those photos last.  And some encouragement for moms (of all ages), too!  Click and read:


My post at Confessions of Parenting went viral, so it's clearly something a lot of people need to know about.  

Sounds like something worth sharing, so Pin, Tweet, email, or share to Facebook using the social media share buttons you see here at the left. 

Tell me in the comments below what your biggest takeaway was from my "What to Do With All the Baby Pictures You're Taking" post.  I'd love to know!

Last but not least, get started right here.

  4. Since I scrapbooked with all my boys' baby photos I often printed off multiples and mailed them to family members that lived further away (and then gave others to all my grandparents who always seemed to want paper photos to put in frames and around the house). I know make blank baby scrapbooks for any baby shower we attend and make sure all the photo spaces accommodate a 4x6 photo then I tuck a roll of adhesive inside too in the hopes the mom (or dad!) to be can create a quick album to look through.

    3. One of the best things about doing it is that you ENJOY it! :) And then, of course, the bonus is that you've created something cherished and shareable. Let me know if you need any help doing it, Paula. I've listed some great tools in the "how to get started" tab if you need them. :) https://lifetalesbooks.blogspot.com/p/how-to-get-started.html
