Why it matters
In 2020, I started asking my grandparents one question at a time—and it turned into one of the most meaningful keepsakes our family has. The method wasn’t perfect, but it worked. This kit is the version I wish I’d had on day one.
Hi, I’m Maddie –
lifelong memory-keeper, professional over-thinker of how to hold onto the good stuff, and a South Bay local sharing what makes everyday life a little more memorable.
From yearbook layouts to travel blogs to toddler photo books, I’ve always loved documenting things — not just to look back, but to know they’re there.
This space is for both of us: to slow down, be present, and still remember it later. Because the little things don’t last forever, but they’re worth saving.
