March Roundup Time
Goodbye March, hello roundup! It’s the last day of the month, and you know what that means—time for my monthly roundup! If you’re wondering what a roundup is, it’s a fun way to reflect on the past month and capture the highlights. Just jot down your standout moments, add a few pics, and voilà—you’ve got a glimpse of your life frozen in time!
I've been doing this every month, and it's like a little time capsule I can look back on. Trust me, you’ll love it too! The more you do this, the more you’ll cherish those everyday moments!
You can do weekly or monthly recaps - it’s totally up to you. I like to ensure I don’t go any longer than a month without recording these details, or it just gets too hard to remember. I’ve been doing monthly roundups since January 2006. It’s my most useful memory-keeping tool!
Roundup Prompts:
What did you watch? Shows, movies, plays, theater, performances, etc.
What did you listen to? Music, podcasts, audiobooks,
What did you read? Books, Kindle, online, etc.

What did you celebrate? Holidays, celebrations, special occasions, big events, accomplishments, etc.
What was newsworthy? Individual and/or family updates. Adding headlines and tidbits from the news can add interesting context to your pages.
Other ideas - Share joys, challenges, travels, adventures, health, goals, hobbies, play, weather, favorite finds, foods you ate, memes & humor
Gather Memories:
Review calendars, social media posts, journal entries, etc.
Try searching your camera roll by month and year. Pro tip- make sure all your photos are uploaded and backed up to at least two places so you don’t have to worry about losing them.
Gather any memorabilia from the month, such as ticket stubs, invitations, programs, etc. Scan or photograph them if desired, and then upload them with your photos for the month.
Complete Your Roundup:
Make a list of your answers to the prompts and add photos.
Create a scrapbook page, a bullet journal, or a planner spread. Write them as a journal entry and include some photos. Share a social media post or blog entry. Just find a routine that works for you.
If you share your roundup in any form on Instagram, use the hashtag #roundupyourmemories if you want to share with others.
The more roundups you do, the more you will appreciate this simple way to document your everyday life!
