the fridge is full

Keep their drawings without keeping the paper.

Point the camera at one. It keeps its colours, lands under the right kid, and the pile can finally go.

Scanned, not photographed

The scanner finds the edges and flattens the page, so a drawing looks like a drawing.

Drawings sit with what they said that month. You see the whole kid, not two separate piles.

The day, the artist and their age are saved with it.

You can’t keep every drawing, and throwing them away feels terrible. A simple way to keep the art, lose the pile, and not feel guilty.

Remember everything your kids said.

One day they’ll read what you wrote them.

Their little voice, years from now.
