Why I started a weekly vlog

Mum and  Bro :)

I was recently looking through my mums old photo albums and it was so cool to see how she documented an album based on her motherhood, from fashionable pictures of her "werking" that baby bump (tiny Pippa) to pictures of my brother and I on our first holidays and other special memories. It dawned on me that I had nothing special like this to show my son when he will be older. Nothing to show him how cool his mum is (so I like to think), nothing that documents all of our fun days out.

Now I'm sure I'm not the only one that has an iPhone photo album of 3000+ pictures and videos.. What's that, I am?

Ok I'm guilty. I love capturing moments, pretty much every moment of the day. When I take the time to look back over my photos it brings back such great memories. Let me be honest I have over 6000 images dating back to when my son was first born; his first words, first dance moves, first smile, you name it. Not to mention over 1000 video clips.

I love to create and I love to share my creations, so I thought what better way to create a digital photo album (vlog) that we can all look back on. Of course you cannot beat an original printed photo, but creating these video diaries will be a unique and fun way for Raphael to look back on his early days spent with mummy. Afterall, once something's on the Internet, it's there forever.

Now that's not the only reason I decided to vlog. I literally hate repeating myself, I don't think anything annoys me more than repeating a story. So I create these vlogs with my family in mind. I recently moved out from my mothers home in London to Essex. It isn't light years away from my family but it means that I don't get to see them as often. So whenever we catch up (everyday) of course my parents want to know what Raphael and I have been up to. As petty as it sounds, I don't want to tell the same story twice. Once to my mum and another to my dad. When I tell a story I want to tell it in detail. So here's my story for this week:
