If you have trip scraps—tickets, stickers, postcards, and little “I can’t throw this away” pieces—this episode is for you. Maddie shares a simple method to turn those artifacts into a framed collage you’ll actually display, plus how to use a shadow box collage to remember someone you love in a way that feels meaningful (not overwhelming).

A kinder reset inspired by The Gap and the Gain: write 3 gains, 3 intentions, and 1 memory each night (pen + journal, no screens). Plus: the 2018 sunrise commitment that reminded me I can be consistent—and the “one non-negotiable” mindset that helped me start again.

If your camera roll is overflowing but you rarely look back, this episode is for you. I’m Maddie from Love, Maddily, and in Episode 1 I’m sharing why this podcast exists, what I tried (private Instagram + Chatbooks), and the shift toward keeping what matters—without living behind a screen.

A simple guide to the best memory-keeping tools—photo books, prints, video editing/storage, digital frames, audio keepsakes, and design tools—so you can preserve what matters without overwhelm.

The adventure is the entertainment. But in case you want a few things to use, here are my favorite.

Is traveling with my child different than it used to be? Yes – in the best way.

It’s not about picture-perfect outfits or spending a lot–it’s about freezing a moment in time you’ll never get back.

Some memories deserve more than a spot in your camera roll. These are the tangible gifts — thoughtful, creative, sometimes nostalgic — that turn a moment into something you can hold.
