Dear Instagram,
You're kind of ruining blogging and it's making me frustrated.
Love,
NOR
This blog is a seven year history of my family and ever since Instagram became the easy way out the blog has suffered. I used to blog a few times a week but often fall into the "I'm too busy and I have a husband to pay attention to now so I'll just throw something on Instagram to record my children's lives" temptation. It's a long winded temptation, but it's real and it needs a name. Copout record keeping maybe. Also, I figure blogging has become the Wall Street Journal to Instagram's People Magazine and Facebook's Local News. This blog at least. Because it's clearly written by a genius who uses SAT words and small print.
Anyway, my issue is that I understand that one could conceivably print Instagram pictures, but c'mon I'm not going to actually do that. Also, I want the captions. So I think I'm going to try just taking a screenshot of our Instagrams of the week and putting them on the blog to have a coherent record in the space/time continuum. That way it'll have pictures, dates and captions.
And this is my solution. I still don't know what to do with my hours of video I have sitting on my phone. When I remember I upload to YouTube, but it would be nice to have everything in one place.
I expect a big reward for years of family record keeping. It can be in the currency of shave ice.

What a brilliant idea! I have actually blogged this week because I discovered a blogger app I can use on my fancy phone so it is almost as easy as insta. Not quite but almost...
God gives out shave ice as a reward?! Sweet!
Agreed. I want to document, have it all be in one place, and it has to be easy. I like your approach.
Great idea.
How sweet that they want to name her Tina! I have always hated my name but now I know that somebody else out there likes it :-) <3
I really enjoyed your blog post
