Photo by Sixteen Miles Out on Unsplash I haven’t blogged in a while. For two years, I put this blog on private as I’d no longer had the willpower to push out blog posts the way that I did six years ago. I write a little more about this in my blog post Why Do You Do… ? Recently, I have revamped my blog. I have unpublished posts that didn’t reflect who I was then or who I am now, or those that felt too personal to share ‘out there’. I also removed posts I wrote just for the sake of posting content and main taining an audience, even when inauthentic to me. It means more to me that others feel the value and quality of what I share rather than the quantity. I am not sure how often I will post, all I know is when the inspiration and curiosity strike, that’s when it will occur. My intention for this blog is to lead with more spontaneity than usual, structured content, along with transparency, authenticity, and vulnerability to whatever degree feels right. My inte...
1) What home movies and/or videotapes of your families do you have - either passed down from earlier generations or your own?
2) What have you done with them? Are they still on reels, or have they been digitized? Have you put them on a website, or in the cloud?

My maternal grandmother has many home videos of me and my siblings as babies. I couldn't even tell you how she has because it is an enormous number.
I told my mom if her mom had films of her as a child, but she said: "as a teenager, but not a child".
I don't think my dad's mother has videos him at all, but I'll have to ask him. Fingers cross that him he has a few! 😃
My granny has cassette tape recorders from many years ago. She has a collection of them. My family doesn't have a lot of home videos, but my mother did film me and my siblings when we were toddlers.
I haven't done much to store the videos, but some of them are on a flash drive, from my parent's wedding anniversary video.
I don't have a plan YET, but I'm considering digitizing them and making it a project like will have to get done this summer. 😎
Thank you, Randy for this great idea. I better get started today!😊
