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.
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!
