memoriegenie – keeping families connected

October 16, 2023

For the last couple of years, my girls and I have been using a WhatsApp group to chat and share photos, questions, etc with each other. It works pretty well for keeping us all connected, especially now that my eldest has moved away to live at University and isn’t home for much of the year....

Welcoming in 2022 and my guiding word

January 7, 2022

Happy New Year! I’m feeling so grateful to be welcoming in another New Year. Over the chaos of our Yule time celebrations, I managed to carve out a little time for myself to say goodbye to 2021, and to set some intentions for the coming year. Last year, personally, was a good one. There were...
