How to Hold onto Your Best Summer Memories

by Barrett

Don’t let those great summer memories go. Sure, you’ll remember them, but you’ve probably also got some digital documentation as well. That’s the key. Here’s what I did…

Summer’s over. Deal with it. But don’t move on… not yet. Now’s the time to review, organize and archive all of the great summer photos and videos you captured. Like me, you probably haven’t had the time to organize your summer memories, because you’ve been living them!

The best way to hold onto all of those great memories is to properly share them:

Email or text a few of the very best to your family and friends
Share them on your social media accounts
Print out a couple of photos for your desk at work
Add them to your digital Wi-Fi cloud photo frame in your living room
(I use Nixplay frames)
Make a hard-copy photo album from your go-to online service
(I use Blurb)
Add your favorite photo to the background of your smartphone screen
So, when someone asks how your summer was… you have that perfect image at the tip of your fingertips. You then turn your phone around, and your summer recap story can begin!

And remember, nobody wants to hear about your summer adventures when the leaves start to fall. That time is now.

So, in the spirt of not only doing what I say, but also doing what I do…
Here’s my summer recap in five photos and five videos…
