About www.JennCampbell.com:

I have always enjoyed "Taking Pictures." Like many moms, the minute I had my first child I became obsessed with taking pictures. But, gosh darn it, they looked nothing like I had envisioned in my head. At first I thought, "I need a better camera, I'm going to get a DSLR." Well, that didn't do it. Turns out it takes a lot more than a pretty camera. I have learned a lot and I'm still learning. The next problem I encountered was, "What am I going to do with all of the photographs I have accumulated?" There are a lot of neat photo organizational ideas out there. I have created some innovative organizational techniques through lots of trial and error. What works for one person may not work for another. Often, it is a combination of different methods. So, jump in and join me on my journey to document my children's childhood!!!

    Documenting Memories Part II

    Monday, August 23rd, 2010

    Problem: I love to scrapbook, but no longer have as much time to devote to it.  However,  I want to make sure to record all of my kids’ milestones and information as they grow up.  Each of my kids has a scrapbook for the first year.  I was very “good” about recording every little Doctor appointment.  I made sure to write down the height, weight, and percentile.  Eeks, once those babies turned one ,and they graduated to a big kid photo album and scrapbook, I suddenly stopped recording this information.    Not good!

    Solution: I created a simple 4″x6″ card that I can throw into their photo album with all of the pertinent information.  It is so simple!  I printed a bunch at MPIX and threw them in my supply cabinet.  Now when I get back from a Doctor’s appointment, I fill out my card and throw it in the photo album.  I created a blue one for the boys and a pink one for my little girl.  I feel so much better knowing that I have a place to record and save this information.

    Here is what the boys’ looks like:

    What pen do I use? I use a Pigma Micron 05 Pen in black- purchased from Michaels.  This is a set of 6 different colors from Amazon-Sakura Pigma Micron Pen Set #05 0.45mm 6/Pkg
