The end of the month is almost here, and it's time to take a look back on all that has happened. I love to take a memory inventory at the end of each month and document it all in our family albums. If you don't already have a system for keeping track of your memories, I encourage you to start one. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, but it will be a valuable way to preserve your family's history.

As June ends, it is an excellent time to reflect on the month's memories. I began the practice of monthly roundups on my first blog in 2006 and have continued to do so ever since. Creating a quick summary of the month has been my most helpful memory-keeping tool, and it has made a significant difference in how I view my everyday life.

May was a wild month for us with some big happenings. We celebrated Mother's Day. We visited my brother Mike and his family in Nevada. We suddenly bought a new RZR as well as a new cabin. Jeff and I came down with Covid. Highs and lows and plenty of in-between times too. All part of our story.

It’s the last day of May, and 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.
