We tend to focus on the big events in our lives – the vacations, weddings, newborns, holidays, etc. We document these special occasions with pictures and stories, reliving them over and over again through the memories we've captured.

But what about the ordinary days? The ones where nothing particularly exciting or out of the ordinary happens? It's easy to brush these days off as unimportant, but they make up the majority of our lives. It's these ordinary days that often hold the most meaning and significance.


Ordinary days are worth documenting for a number of reasons. First and foremost, they provide a glimpse into our everyday lives. These are the days that shape who we are and how we live. By documenting the ordinary, we capture a true and authentic representation of ourselves.


Ordinary days often hold the most precious and intimate moments. It's on an ordinary day that you might have a heart-to-heart conversation with a loved one, or spend a lazy afternoon cuddled up on the couch with a good book or your little one while watching the same tv show over and over. These small, seemingly insignificant moments are often the ones that bring us the most joy and happiness.


In a world that constantly pushes us to strive for more, it's important to remember the value of the ordinary. So next time you find yourself thinking that today was just another ordinary day, take a moment to document it. Whether it's through writing in a journal, taking a few pictures, hiring a photographer, or just taking a few minutes to reflect on the events of the day, capturing the ordinary is a simple and powerful way to hold onto the memories that matter most.
