March 2023 Memory Roundup

I finally finished my March 2023 roundup! I usually try to work on my roundups within the first week of the following month, but I needed to catch up, and it seemed more complicated. It always seems hard until it's finished. But I love documenting everyday life, and the roundup process has given me the tools to keep it simple and meaningful. I've been doing roundups since January 2006 and don't plan to quit now!

So long April

And suddenly, the month of April is over! It didn’t really dawn on me until this evening that it was the last day of the month. So I’m a little late in posting the roundup reminders. It's a great time to round up your memories of this month. I started the practice of monthly roundups on my first blog in 2006, and I have kept going strong ever since. Creating a quick recap of the month as it ends has been my most helpful memory-keeping tool and has made a huge difference (for the better) in how I view my everyday life.

End of March

Happy last day of March! It's a great time to round up your memories of this month. I started the practice of monthly roundups on my first blog in 2006, and I have kept going strong ever since. Creating a quick recap of the month as it ends has been my most helpful memory-keeping tool and has made a huge difference (for the better) in how I view my everyday life.

February 2023 Memory Roundup

Having a recap of the past month all documented feels so satisfying. I love sharing each month's memories with the Roundup ideas, prompts, and supplies! It was a good month for us, with a nice long visit to spend time with our daughter and her family. Life also started to feel more "normal" for the first time in a long time now that I can walk again.

Last day of February

It's the last day of the month, which means it's a great time to look back at the memories of the past 28 days and do a roundup! This is something that I started back on my very first blog back in 2006, and I have kept going strong with the practice ever since then. Creating a quick recap of the month as it ends has been my most helpful memory-keeping tool and has made a huge difference (for the better) in how I view my everyday life.

I love sharing this idea with others, and I've had so many tell me that this has impacted their lives. I hope you will take a few minutes to reflect on the month as it ends and celebrate the memories made.

First roundup of 2023 completed

I’m excited about documenting each month’s memories this year, and I’m happy to have January “in the books”! It was a good month for us, with lots of grandbaby snuggles and a week-long stay at our cabin. I’ve also made a lot of progress with healing after my December ankle surgery.

It’s time for a January Roundup!

I'm starting my 18th (eighteen!) year of doing monthly roundups! This is something that I started back on my very first blog back in 2006, and I have kept going strong with the practice ever since then. Creating a quick recap of the month as it ends has been my most helpful memory-keeping tool and something that has made a huge difference (for the better) in how I view my everyday life.

Got my December roudup done

I started worrying that I wouldn't finish my December roundup before January ended! I knew I would be late in completing it because of my surgery recovery, so I've been patient with myself about the whole thing. Still, it feels really good to have it done!

Last week of July

This is the last week of the month, so I'm here with a check-in to help you get ready for the monthly roundup! I find it helpful to take inventory of my photos and memory keeping before the 31st hits. Then I still have time to capture some great moments before it's too late.
