How to Start a Memory Book for Your Family

Memories fade, but a simple book can keep them. A memory book does not require craft skills. It only needs a regular habit.

Choose a format

A plain notebook, a scrapbook or a digital album all work. Choose something you can add to quickly.

What to include

• A photo with a one-line caption saying who, where and when.
• Tickets, notes or small mementos.
• A line about what made the day memorable.

Keep it light

Set aside fifteen minutes at the end of each month. Add the best three moments. Over a year, you will have a record that is easy to enjoy and share.
