What is Memory Keeping?

Memory keeping is any thing you do to document your current or past memories for you or someone else to review and reflect on later. This can be in the form of images, journaling, video, or anything else that evokes the recall of moments in our life. We live in a time when memory keeping is easier than ever. We can share the stories of our lives in ways previous generations never could. Social media, video creation, scrapbooking, journaling—these are all forms of memory keeping. Since most of us carry around these amazing devices in our pockets called smart phones we can capture stories and mini moments in an instant.

Greysen's Birth Story

Trevor and I are so excited to announce the birth of our baby boy. Greysen James Lang was born on September 2, 2021. We were induced at the hospital, and while labor and delivery didn’t go as planned, we wound up with a happy healthy baby in the end. I can’t believe that we have been home with our little bundle of joy for over two months now. We are adjusting to life with a newborn really well and can even say we’re getting some sleep. He’s perfect in every way, and we are so in love!

Figuring out what you want to create as your final product or end goal will guide you through the next steps of actually capturing those memories. If you don’t know what you’re memory keeping for then you aren’t going to know what to capture. The important step now is to figure out what you want to create and what you need to do to get there.

July 2021 Recap -- wrapping up weddings, nesting, and lots of cleaning

Let me first start off this recap blog post by saying that I am exhausted. Getting anything done in these few months has been so hard for me. Now that I am in the third trimester I feel like my body no longer wants to do anything besides rest and nest. July was one of my last productive months. And while the months ahead need to be super productive as well, it’s suddenly become a lot harder.

5 reasons to get family photos every year

Lately I’ve been going through lots of family photo albums. I have been spending a lot more time at my Grandma’s house going through old shoeboxes full of pictures and albums that are literally falling apart at the seams. But without fail, whenever I go through these images or show them again to someone else, the world seems to light up one notch. Pictures evoke memories! Even if you can’t personally recall the moment, there’s something about a picture that tells a story of a past time that makes you smile no matter what.

Figuring out your “why” for memory keeping can be one of the most important tasks that you do before you get started in your memory keeping journey. It can feel daunting or intimidating, but it’s crucial in the process in order to better understand your driving factor for why you’re going to keep going on these tasks. Memory keeping can be time consuming, but having a clear reason why gives you the motivation to keep going.

You know it’s been a busy season when you’re writing the monthly recap half way into the next month. Whew! Time is just flying by.

What is vlogging?

I define vlogging as the means of capturing personal moments in video format. Often times vlogging is about carrying a camera around with you while you continue to live your normal every day life. It is the telling of your story from a first person point of view—meaning, you are leading the video yourself, creating the theme for the video, and editing the final vlog for yourself and others to view.
