Family Memories

Apple has created a very touching commercial that is a sign of the times. A teenage boy appears to be consumed by his device during quality family time, but instead is creating a wonderful gift capturing quality family time. This commercial can bring you back to the days of looking through photo albums, watching the carousels of slides on the white sheet covered wall or all those early home movies. The laughter. The stories, oh the stories of all those childhood memories.

The devices of today allow us to do all of this, even better it allows children of all ages to accomplish this. How can you do this?

  1. Place a mobile device in the hands of a family member-even the children.
  2. Have them take photos or videos of whatever inspires them.
  3. Connect the device to a computer or drop the images/videos in a drop box account.
  4. Upload the images/videos to iMovie, iPhoto, Movie Maker, Animoto, or Prezi.
  5. Upload a song (s) that reflects your family.
  6. Arrange the images/videos in any order using the story board.
  7. Add the song
  8. Save the presentation.
  9. Share it with the family.

Take time this holiday season to enjoy all of the little things. Watch the kids faces as they carefully place Santa’s cookies on his plate. Listen to the older siblings talk to the younger ones about the anticipation of the holiday. Enjoy the wonderful aromas of home made meals and, most importantly, tell those special people why they are special. Have a wonderful holiday season!
