Reminisce on your family’s year so far

In The Blog

We're all relearning our routines.

At this point in the year, there’s so much to look back on — and still lots to look forward to. Polishing your journals is a great way to do both.

Fall Refresh

Materials

  • Your phone and the Qeepsake app
  • Your cozy drink of choice
  • Someplace comfy to sit

Instructions

  1. Gather your little one (no matter their age) and look at your Qeepsake journals together. Talk about what you were doing in each picture, or what you remember about each entry.
  2. As you reminisce, ask yourself:
    1. Have I missed any questions I want to answer?
    2. Are there any other photos I want to save?
    3. Do all my photo entries have captions?
    4. Are there any typos in my journal? Do I need to edit anything?
    5. Are there any entries I want to favorite as a full page memory?
  3. Go back and add to to your entries — now your memories are fully captured in your Qeepsake.
  4. SSnap a selfie of yourselves working together on your family story to add!
Time to Reset

With summer travel in the rearview and holiday planning still ways away, this time of year can be just right for resetting.

0-12 Month-Olds: Soak in the (less threatening) sun by getting your baby outside, and enjoying long walks without worrying about overheating.

12-24 Month-Olds: If routines were hard to maintain over the summer, revel in getting back to them now.

24+ Month-Olds: Talk to your toddler about how the days have changed and how the weather is shifting. Ask how they feel about it, and write down what they say!
