very cute writeup, huh?
"I have said it before and I will say it again. I do not scrapbook.
I think as the daughter and granddaughter of people who like to save everything (we won't call them hoarders exactly as that would be rude) I have a sub-conscious aversion to becoming a historian. My husband and I have a no clutter policy that was written into our wedding vows, and I can never imagine finding the time or space to scrapbook, record, crop photos, and everything that goes with making those lovely little baby books. It is sad for the kids but I am not fooling anybody.
If you are like me just admit it, get over the feeling of inadequacy because you don't attend the local scrapping saloon and buy yourself some Tiny Tales. This way when you get the urge and baby does something cute you can simply jot it down, put it back it its rightful box and be done with it. Care to add a photo? A lock of hair? A ticket stub from their first dance recital? Just place it in the neat little box, organize by age and pat yourself on the back! You are a great mom even if you don't know what "crop" means. Heck I had to ask."
