I have recently discovered a wonderful family blog documenting daily events: Dacafe. I was surprised at how difficult it was NOT to press the "next button" and discover another episode of these people's life as a family. The pictures are sometimes artistic, but mostly they depict random moments of mundane life. Nevertheless, they are able to transmit a very calm, soothing and comfortable feel, like a sip of a warm tea on a cold day or the sunshine on a beautiful afternoon walk in the park. Looking at these pictures is more than peeking into someone else's life in hopes of distracting ourselves from our own. This diary invites us to take a short break from the impatient pace of society. It is a reminder of how wonderful life can be if you take the time to record the small things. It's all about the small things.

You're right, it is difficult not to press next (learned a new word in japanese writing) :-)
lol! down left and down right are previous and next. the signs in the middle are an archive. it's so amazing that these people have literally recorded different stages in their life. you can see the changes in the house and the way the kids grow. you can basically track it back to few years after the birth of the daughter....amazing.
...i meant months after the birth of the daughter...
