MOC 12 January 20 - Moments in Your Life
First time using the Google AI app, Bard, to develop a page! The chat's AI suggested using a 3 x 2 grid for six photos, choosing close-up shots of me holding the babies (I had already done that, but I thought the suggestions were great: a baby nestled against your shoulder, a gummy smile as you make silly faces, a peaceful scene of you rocking a baby to sleep), and to write snippets of your honest thoughts and feelings around the edges of the page. It advised "be open and vulnerable about not feeling like a natural caregiver, include short anecdotes about specific moments captured in the photos." It also suggested using small word strips throughout the page with relevant words or phrases like "learning," "growing" and "trying my best." It told me I could use pre-designed digital word strips or create my own! Pretty dang clever!

When I was done I typed in, "Thank you! My page turned out great!" and it responded: That's so wonderful to hear! I'm so glad I could help. I'd love to see your finished page if you're comfortable sharing it. Sharing creative projects can be inspiring for others and it would be a joy to see how your vision came to life.

I did go with B&W photos because the clothes in each photo were so vastly different, and I like the effect.
