This thread makes a very good point, we need a "in a pinch list" So post some ideas of what to photograph when its 11pm and you realize you haven't snapped one yet....
Your shoes, kids shoes, favorite shoes at the time
Your favorite place in the house
The mess left in my house....
A book you are reading at the time, your kids favorite book
your kids favorite toy, or a toy that has meaning (hand me down, gift, etc)
Appliances-this might be interesting for future generations
Favorite brands (ie, ketchup, mustard, dish soap, shampoo...this list could go on)
Favorite decoration in your house
I am interested to see what everyone comes up with, this will be a HUGE help!! I am already inspired just by brainstorming!! Thanks for the great Idea Donitab!
