everyday we are adding to our story. I'm such a visual person...I think this is why I love to blog. It's my way of adding photos or something 'visual' to my story. It's my way of sharing or preserving our memories...like a scrapbook.
In our busy lives, I love to have my phone w/ me & take a picture of what I'm doing...the apps are crazy cool & i'm in LOVE with Instagram...It's an easy way for me to share my story, preserve it & post it..then, print it with Postal Pix or something like that!
There's been a January Photo of the Day challenge going all month started by Chantelle in Australia. I have loved taking pix everyday to tell our story.
She's starting another one for February...jump in if you missed it, cuz it's really a lot of fun...a perfect way to visually tell your daily story with your phone & camera!
If you don't have Instagram...just try telling your story via photo a day on your blog...I'd love to see that!
Telling our stories is so important & that's why I'm soo excited to share this with you....have you heard of The Story at Home Conference?

This conference looks amazing! I started blogging in September to tell our family's journey of raising a daughter w/autism. It has been a phenomenal experience and I can't wait to share more of our story.
Thanks for a chance to win a spot to this conference!
Blessings to you Rhonna!
I so want to go to this! It looks amazing...and uplifting! That's always a plus.;D
love the challenge. Sent it to my girls.
I had no idea this conference was happening right in our backyard. What a nice giveaway!
This is so wonderful! I love the family history aspect of it. That really is my goal in scrapbooking or record keeping :) I didn't even know about this opportunity but it is a great one!
What a great topic for a conference. I have been so burnt out the past couple years that I haven't documented much and sadly, they have been my most trying years in my life so far. I should say the years I've experienced, learned and grown more than I ever imagined I would. Tough but worth it. Very sad that I didn't document any of that growth. It's not too late, though. I just need some inspiration to get me going again.
Would love to win a chance to go to this class. We've been working on getting our family history together and this would be a great way to get started.

What a great conference. I've been blogging for a year & a1/2 now, just started Project Life, & finished my first Dec Daily Album last year. I'm also a die-hard visual journaler. Thx!
I like them on FB
The inspiration to blog is hard to come by, that's why bloggers should take all possible opportunity to improve their blog and their writing. Blogging is a good instrument to share your thoughts, and earn money in the process.
