Here are some of the benefits of creating monthly roundups:

No More November

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.

October is almost over

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.

Adios August

The end of the month is here, and that means it's time to reflect on the month and all the wonderful memories you've made. One of the biggest tricks we play on ourselves is thinking we will remember everything. We don't need to write it down, right? But does that even work for the grocery store? Of course not! Memories are important, so don't let yourself fall into that trap. At the end of each month, take a few minutes to document your memories.

Farewell to May

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.

So long April

And suddenly, the month of April is over! It didn’t really dawn on me until this evening that it was the last day of the month. So I’m a little late in posting the roundup reminders.

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.
