Who Knew Making Memories Could Eliminate Messes

If you are anything like our family, with two young children, you quickly acquire the most adorable collection of holiday art and in the case of February, sweet Valentine's cards from classmates. 

At times, I struggle over whether I should try and save these small treasures for a day down-the-line when my sons can look back at them fondly and remember the innocence of youth.

Then, I look around at my kitchen island, dining room table and office desk and realize I am quickly accumulating enough stacks of paper to put the Library of Congress to shame!

So, my pointer of the month is instead of boxing up those treasures, why not think outside of the box and photograph or scan them?
