It’s time to do a month-in-review of February. I love to take a memory inventory at the end of the month and document it all to add to our family albums. This is my 17th (SEVENTEEN!) year of doing monthly roundups. I started this routine in January of 2006, and it’s my most helpful tool for meaningful and easy memory keeping.

I will share several prompt images each month on the last day of the month. One of them will feature unique tips and tricks so check back each month for new ideas. I will also include a video walkthrough of documenting your life month by month and a demonstration of how to do a roundup.

Here are the images and lists for February 2022

Here are the prompts in written list form in case you want to copy and paste them into your own document.

Monthly Roundup Prompts: (choose the ones you want to document)

• Holidays, celebrations, special occasions, big events

• Individual and/or family updates

• Progress in school, work, and personal projects

• Books you read and things you learned

• What you watched - shows, movies, plays, theater, performances, etc.

• What you listened to - music, podcasts, audiobooks,

• News - personal, local, national, international

• Other ideas - joys, challenges, travels, adventures, health, goals, hobbies, play, weather, favorite finds, foods you ate, memes & humor

Here are this month’s bonus tips and ideas:

• SELFIES -remember to take pictures of yourself! The photographer is often missing from the photos.

• CALENDAR - take a picture of or get a screenshot of your camera. It's a great way to document your everyday life.

• SOMEONE YOU LOVE - Include photos and details about someone (or something) you love.

I will be sharing these on my social media channels as well. I hope when you see these prompts, you will take a minute to gather your memories and record what happened in your life during the past month. You will be so glad you did!
