Is it spring? Is it still winter? Is it sunny & warm out? Is it snowing?
Who knows! Happy March in south-western Pennsylvania!
It’s fascinating to me that almost every single month, I download all of my home movies and I think: did I even take enough videos to put together a monthly highlight film?
Then I string everything together and am blown away by what I captured. There are so many little moments that I completely forget about – and they occurred less than a month ago!
It’s crazy to me how our brains work and how quickly they forget the “meaningless” moments. But that’s what makes them precious, right? It’s the little “nothing” moments that add up to what makes life so wonderful.
And I’m so thankful that I captured them, because when my brain forgets, my home movies helps me remember and treasure every single day.
Additionally (outside of this film) —
Derrick & I visited Kennywood Park for a pre-season construction tour: 5-Minute Kennywood Park Construction Tour | Spring 2023
We also took our first roller coaster trip of 2023 and drove out to New Jersey to visit the American Dream Mall – home of DreamWorks Water Park and Nickelodeon Universe: A Day at DreamWorks Water Park and Nickelodeon Universe | FAMILY VLOG 2023
Moments of note this month:

(9:28) Jumping in puddles in the backyard
(10:20) Spending some extended time at Papa & Nana’s house before they move across the country
Just in case you’ve missed what I’m doing – I decided that I wanted to create a curated “home video” for our family every month (remember those old “home movies” our families used to create? with the giant video recorders that an entire VHS tape fit in?) Those videos were fantastic, but if you’ve ever sat down to watch one (does anyone even own a VHS player anymore?) you very quickly realize that you do a lot of “fast-forwarding”.
So, my goal, is to take all the little videos I take of our family over the course of a month & create a short (my goal is to be around 10 minutes) video of my favorite snippets. I am SO excited to finally have a dedicated place to chronicle my family videos & keep them safe & accessible.
Enjoy a little peek into what our March looked like!
