Here we are at the end of November! That means it's time to take a quick moment to pause and reflect on the past month. I love to take a few minutes at the end of each month to document my memories. 

You can use these prompts to write a journal entry, create a scrapbook, or make a list. Whatever you choose to do, I encourage you to take some time to document your memories. It's a great way to stay connected to your past and to appreciate all that you have.

Here are a few tips for documenting your memories:

• Be specific. Don't just write down what happened; write down how you felt.

• Be creative. There are no rules when it comes to documenting your memories. Get creative and have fun with it!

• Be consistent. The more you document your memories, the easier it will become.

• I hope you enjoy documenting your memories this month!

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!
