Fall Memories

Writing and decorating a journal is a great, fun way to cherish special memories for years to come.

You can write down both current life moments as well as thoughts from the past.

For example, I enjoy decorating my home and watching Halloween movies with my husband but also reflect on special times of carving pumpkins with my mom and sister over the years.

Feel free to get creative with how you choose to express your memories. Maybe include pictures, little trinkets or cards, drawings, and anything you want!
