As the mom of four children, I know a thing or two about trying to make – and preserve – memories! Back when I had three little ones within 20 months, I never thought the days would go by so fast. Now, my oldest two children are away at college, my third has been accepted at his college of choice and my youngest is almost in high school.
I think I did a pretty good job of sharing our family history with my children, because they continue to be curious about their roots and where they come from. While we’re blessed to have great relationships with loving grandparents that live close by, we know that nothing lasts forever and now is the time to learn as much as we can from our relatives. Recently, I’ve discovered a new option called Saving Memories Forever that makes the task of telling (and re-telling) our family’s history even easier.
Whether you are creating your family history or recording your children’s milestones, this service is easy, mobile and fun. A free iPhone or Android app makes the recording and uploading process incredibly easy and convenient. I had the opportunity to interview Jane, co-creator of Saving Memories Forever, on Mom Talk Radio and I was so moved by her passion to make sure that each family has an easy way to record and share their unique moments.
Key features of this service allow you to record your family stories…one story at a time. The stories themselves give a voice to generations and a rich picture of what a relative was like. Although it’s up to you who tells the stories, I think it’s amazing to have it come directly from the person who lived them! I know that long after cherished relatives are gone, the recordings I have of them will be invaluable to me. Saving Memories Forever is a subscription service at only $40 a year (or $3.99 per month) and allows you to attach everything from photos to recipes.
