Ever notice how life barrels on whether you are ready or not?
You might not be ready to let go of the moment you are living in.
You might not be ready to let your children grow. Or your business. Or your butt.
But life is what happens while you are enjoying that latest creative venture, or that snuggle with your baby or that bread pudding with dark French chocolate and creme fresh.
It's like herding cats, trying to keep things from changing. Impossible.
But I can document what is it like in these moments I am loving. I can photograph my children everyday single day. I can write down my favorite recipes. I can try to describe what it is like to hold Frankie's pudgy little hands. They feel like marshmallows. Soft and downy.
When these days are long gone, when I am old and lonesome for the good ol' days when my children were young, I can take down my memory books. I will close my eyes and let the memories wash over me.
In this way I will save today.
How are you saving your memories?
Stumble It!

your post is exactly the reason I am so into scrapbooking, to preserve the stories that go with the photos so that I can remember all the cute little things my kids do. Lovely photo of you and your daughter, so cute!
I've started putting memories into my blogg - it's become the new journal.
