Love in the Ordinary Moments
February’s theme is Love and Connection, and this month I’ve been thinking a lot about how love actually shows up in real life. Not the big, dramatic, movie-scene kind. The quiet kind. The kind that is part of everyday life.
The kind that looks like this:

Love in the Everyday
“I love being near you, even when we’re doing nothing special.”
That line reminds me that connection is often built in the in-between moments.
Sitting at the kitchen table.
Running errands together.
Watching a show side by side.
Folding laundry while someone talks about their day.
Those moments do not look impressive. They will not necessarily make it into a highlight reel. But they are the part of our lives that we want to remember.
When you are memory keeping this month, think about documenting the ordinary:
A regular Tuesday night at home
A shared meal
A quiet car ride
A cozy routine
Those are the moments that often mean the most later.

You Matter to Me
This phrase is one of the most powerful things we can say. It can be said to a partner, a friend, a child, a parent, or even to yourself.
This month, you might document:
Someone who showed up for you
A moment you felt seen
A small act of care
A reminder that you belong
Those quiet reassurances are often the stories that stay with us.

Better Together
“Better together” feels like a reminder that connection strengthens us.
Life feels lighter when it is shared.
You might think about:
A friend who checks in consistently
A partner who sits beside you during hard days
A child who wants to be near you
A creative community that inspires you
Connection does not have to be loud to be powerful.
It can be steady and calm. It can be simply knowing someone is there
How to Use These Sayings in Your Memory Keeping
If you use digital supplies, these kinds of phrases work beautifully as:
Word art on a scrapbook page
A title for a layout
A journaling card
A quote card tucked into a pocket page
You could build a page around one photo and one of these sayings. Keep it simple. Let the story speak for itself.
Or you could use the quote as a journaling starter:
Who makes my life better just by being near?
Where do I feel most connected right now?
What ordinary moments do I not want to forget?
Love and connection are already present in your life. This month is just an invitation to pay attention to them.
A look ahead
If you are enjoying this month’s theme of Love and Connection, you may want to take a peak at the upcoming themes for the rest of the year. I’m really glad I’m exploring these themes in my own life. It’s making a difference in how I view my own progress and my memory keeping. I hope you will join me!
