I came across this post on Kelle Hampton's Instagram feed yesterday (Enjoying the Small Things blog) and it touched me. I had to share it here because I know that you'll love her caption, too. It reminded me of why I take so many pictures and feel the need to document my life a lot. I love her comparison of Instagram to "cellars" of the good, happy, peaceful moments that we stash away.
I love Kelle Hampton. Make sure you check out her blog - it's marked as one of our favorites!
Enjoying the Small Things Instagram caption:
One for the parenting canned good cellar--jars of good, happy, peaceful moments that we stash away to pull out during the droughts and harsh winters of life. Our IG feeds are full of them--summer sleepovers, family hugs, cartwheel silhouettes against beach sunsets, babies sleeping on chests, bedtime stories and smiles for days. Every moment of every day hardly looks like this. But maybe we accept that these little feeds are our cellars, and it feels good to stockpile the best stuff when it comes. To hold us over during the messy and hard and confusing. For all the jars I've robbed during the hard times (I took one today!)...I restocked one tonight. Stock your cellars.
