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.

 
 

This year, I’m using a more visual approach for the prompts and I will turn them into a reel on my Instagram feed as well. If you prefer your prompts in a list form, I will be including them at the bottom of the post.

Let’s get started!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Here’s a list of the prompts I use each month. Feel free to pick and choose the ones that you find most useful.

  • Holidays, celebrations, special occasions, and big events from the month

  • Individual and/or family updates

  • Entertainment, media, and learning

  • News and current events: local, national, international, and personal interest

  • Weather, nature, and local scenery

  • Foods you ate, cooking, and restaurants

  • Travels, adventures, play, hobbies, and favorite finds

What to do with your roundup? Compile all the details and record them in a:

  • journal

  • blog post

  • social media post

  • photo collage

  • scrapbook page

Remember that roundups are even better when you include photos!
