The memories alive
The human mind is always wandering. When you are doing a thing at one time, you want to grab the other also. I am also sailing on the same ship. I have been busy writing for a client then got involved in some groups to increase my followers. In between all this, I realised what I had missed miserably and that is writing for #MondayMommyMoments with Deepa and Amrita.
So today, I have squeezed out myself from every other work and writing for my family #MMM.
Every moment shared with your loved ones becomes a memory. And there are plenty of ways to store these memories.
Living with memories or storing them?
When kids come into your life, you want to store each and every moment. So where or how do I store them?
- SCRAPBOOK- When my daughter was born, I captured every single achievement of hers. Later, I used to develop the photos and paste them into a scrapbook. I wrote small descriptions along with photos to make them more interesting. Whenever she used to sleep, I would decorate the scrapbook.
- CAMERA- Slowly, the speed of maintaining the scrapbook mellowed down. Now the photos were in the camera memory only waiting to be developed and to be added to the scrapbook.
- LAPTOP- Now my son was born. The juggling had just started. And I was not able to maintain the neither scrapbook nor the camera. So the next best option was to capture through mobile phones and store them in a laptop.
- MOBILE- Later, things got so messed up that raising the kids was enough. Who’s got the time to arrange them also? Still, I clicked out of habit and the photos stayed in my mobile forever waiting to be transferred to the laptop.
- MEMORIES- And now the situation is very shuffled. With kids around, home and family to be taken care of and to top it all, my love of writing. I have stopped clicking each and every moment. Why overburden the phone memory also?
Some memories are best kept alive in the heart. When you close your eyes, they come alive that overshadows any scrapbook or laptop folder.

MondayMommyMoments is also your way to store memories too.Loved how you have decribed the memeory storing journey.
Yes of course Amrita. In fact MondayMommyMoments has given me so many reasons to cherish my parenting. Thanks a lot
Most of my memories are digital. I would love to take time out some day & convert them into a scrapbook.
Ab to bhul jaao kabhi time milega. Specially when blogging had become an integral part of our lives now. 😉
I agree with last few lines before anything. Memories are stored in heart always and stay there too. The List is similar as my ideas. Thanks Geethica for linking up with #MMM

Thank you Dipika😍
Thank you dear😁
Scrapbooks and journals are our choice always. Also we have captured my son’s childhood in a video. We love to see it often together.
This reminds me, I need to go back to the old school way of keeping my memories sacred! I shouldn’t wait on Facebook to let me know what I did a year from now! Thanks for this post!!
Thank you very much Chardline
Hahah that is the correct life cycle of things. I have also given up taking pics.. mainly because I am running behind him trying to watch over him. and everything is a blur in pics. 🙂
Kids teaches us all😀
I feel lucky that i have many tools to keep in safe my wonderful memories with my kids n my family n friends too.. I mostly use ofcourse my moblie phone to store these.. But as u said heart is also a secret safe for such memories..
Yes mobile phone is handy.
Nice read.. I like getting photos of the best moments. We can touch them and feel those moments close to us back.
I also like hard copies more than the photos stored in devices
Loved your thought of ‘Some memories are best kept alive in the heart’ 🙂
Thank you Anubhuti😀
Photos sure bring back so many memories
That’s true😁
I love to open up my photo albums , so I made sure I click many pictures of my daughter and preserve them. It’s wonderful when you look back at the memories.
Photos bring back sweet memories alive😀
Every new year I make a photo collage calendar of all the lovely memories from the same month in the previous year. This has been a long standing tradition in my family and now after my marriage I make 2 such calendars…one for my place and one for my parents’ place.
So true I think this is what everyone goes through and you are right memories stored in your brain is the best
Thank you dear
I’m a total photo addict. I take photos and videos of Karma perpetually. I did start a scrap book too but get a bit lazy so its coming along slowly. But it’s fun to look back at photos and see the change.

I also stopped making scrap book because of my laziness😉. Thanks for commenting

Yes that is also a lovely option.

Photos always remind us of sweet memories.
Beautiful post. I agree memories are just too precious and not all can be captured through camera, let them be in our heart.
Thank you Kavita😊
Wow, I follow almost all of these to keep my motherhood fresh.

There are so many photos that we need all the methods😀
Very good post. In today modern world, we are so busy capurting pictures and storing memories that we sometimes forget to live in the moment.
That’s true Vaidehi. Thanks for commenting.
This is a wonderful post. Memories are so important and I am holding onto 5000+ pics of the kids hoping to get them printed some day.
Seriously. The number of photos just gets increasing.
Great post Geethica! It’s true we have so many memories in our hearts that it’s hard to make a hard copy of everything!
And with time the memories keep on adding only😊
