I have a confession to make, I'm terrible at printing out and updating 0ur picture frames. I take lots and lots of pictures, but they usually end up in a folder on my desktop. They typically get forgotten about until the kids have a school project they need photos for. But, I'm trying really hard to get better at filling our frames with photos from our favorite adventures. And this month I decided to not only fill the empty frames, but I also decided to make a new fall picture frame … [Read more...]
