Even though it was created 4 years back, I hopped on the bandwagon pretty late and only started getting really into it this year. It reminds me of the good o' days of Instagram when the things people posted were really "instant", raw and not so pose-y. No using of DSLRs or heavy editing to get the perfect photos that we deem "Instagram-worthy" nowadays. Just plain old snap and post.
With Snapchat you can't usually transfer old photos / videos to post {but there's a new function now called Snapchat Memories that allows you to}. You've to use the in-app camera to take the shots and the available in-app filters, stickers or lenses to edit. Everything seems so raw, so unedited, so amaturish.. and I love it.
I love it for being "less fake" than what can be seen over at Instagram.
Not saying that I don't like using Instagram anymore {still love the community there!} but I'm sure you get what I mean ( ◞・౪・)

Lil Pumpkin gets such a kick out of playing with the Snapchat lenses sometimes too haha.
Basically like a visual diary and I combined it all in the videos here.
Yes, you read right. The kids really got to play with fire and chop wood!!
If the videos above aren't playing properly, watch directly on my YouTube channel here:

Had a look at the video... quite funny when you guys pop up with funny 'attachments'!
I love following you on Snapchat. You guys are always doing something fun :)
I'm not on snapchat, but it sounds like a lot of fun. I bet you had a fantastic time in Tokyo.
I'm really late because I haven't joined Snapchat. Maybe I should? But I'm already online way too much.
My youngest wanted me to get this, it took too much room on my phone, so I deleted it. It's cute though. :)
On the contrary, I don't like snapchat. I find uglifying our own photos not acceptable. Haha ...
Hahaha.. interesting app with fun lenses! Lil Pumpkin and you look hilarious on the videos. I'm already swamped with Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, I don't think I have time to maintain another social media account. But never say never... hehe..

I like the transient quality of snapchat and it definitely works for people who are still experimenting with social media and finding out what their level of 'exposure' should be.
I have tried snapchat once and totally gave up.. Haha. The lenses are really cute and funny. But I already have too many social media accounts to maintain so this is a no no for me.
Haven't tried snapchat but apparently everyone has been going crazy about it. You guys looked like you had loads of fun.
Love your videos! I have downloaded snapchat and it has been sitting in my phone for a very long time...till date still not sure how to use it! After reading your blog, maybe I should really move my butt and try using it :)
Lovely video and experience sharing. Video is really so cute with those fun expressions, I haven't join Snapchat yet but hopefully will explore myself.
Omg, I love your videos! Gonna try Snapchat soon.
I had Snapchat and just didn't get it, so I deleted it. The girls love it though and Jason is always cracking up at the filters. The frowny face one always makes him burst into a fit of giggles.
I used to prefer Instagram because I don't really like the idea of my videos and photos 'disappearing' after 24 hours but now that they introduced the 'Save Memory' feature, I might just give Snapchat a try. Great idea to use it to document travel snippets.
