Any of you that have children know that pictures are the key to capturing all of their little milestones and being able to see how much they have changed over the years. Needless to say I can probably go overboard at times with how many pictures we take of an occasion but I look at it as better to be safe than sorry. Digital cameras are an amazing invention until you get 500+ photos on a disk and need more room but don’t want to spend the money to pay to have all 500+ photos printed at one time. This is where Shutterfly becomes a mom’s best friend when it comes to photos.
Shutterfly is an amazing company that allows you to store your photos long term without them being deleted. This was the greatest thing I discovered not too long ago. I have since been slowly working on uploading every single precious memory that was caught in a photo on to Shutterfly’s amazing website to be safely stored until I get around to eventually having the time to scrap book these precious memories into a cuter way of storage. Although with a toddler, working full time, and another baby on the way I am not sure when that time will come. Another reason why Shutterfly is amazing is because I don’t have to worry, I know the pictures will still be there and safely stored when I get around to having the time to scrap book.
Many of you know that I am a Christmas fanatic and this is quite easily my favorite time of year. One of the things I enjoy the most is creating our annual family Christmas photo card. The past two years have been even more fun to create them because they have featured the love of Reagan and mine’s life, Hudson! It is so fun to have a cute photo card every year to keep and see how much he has changed and oh the bad part, how much we have aged from raising that rambunctious little boy. Reagan and I have family all over the US that we get to see maybe once or twice a year if even that so the Christmas photo cards are an awesome way for our family to get to see how much Hudson has changed over the year. This will be my first year using Shutterfly to design my Christmas photo card and with the ones I have already gotten to play around with I can tell this will be the best card yetJ Reagan and I have had a blast looking through our photos from the past year and figuring out which ones we want to feature on our card.
I have recently also discovered that Shutterfly allows you to create birthday cards and thank you cards! I am looking forward to Hudson’s next birthday if anything just to be able to create another personalized project with Shutterfly. Then, I am sure my husband will be just as thrilled, I can create matching thank you cards for him to send to all his friends that join us for the special occasion. I am sure eventually my husband will wish I hadn’t discovered all the wonderful products Shutterfly has to offer but it does save the time and hassle of having to drag the babies out and go create something and then having to drag them out again to go and pick up the product. I can sit in my pajamas, be productive, and have them delivered to me rather than having to pick them up! For those of you that are mothers of little ones you know how much these simple things mean!
