Preserve the heart of your family's history.

The memories we hold of the people closest to our hearts most often live in the stories that we tell our children and grandchildren.

You know those unexpected moments when your child or grandchild asks you, “Who was your grandpa? What was his name?”

I know for me, these questions always come at the most unexpected of times.

As we are driving in the car.

As I tuck them in snug in their beds at night.

Or in the perfectly timed moment in my day when something I am doing reminds me of my loved ones and I can’t help but share about how I used to spend my summers swimming at the Kamloops outdoor pool, visiting my grandma.

Or when I would look up in Awe at the Calgary Stampede Princesses as they rode by on their horses because my grandparents and I had this beautiful tradition of going to the parade every single year.

Or the years I spent at the Eagles celebrating Christmas with my nana and grandpa. I still remember how excited I was when Santa would show up with presents.

Growing up, I was always fascinated by my grandparents’ lives, how they grew up, how they spent their time. For hours, I would sit, absorbing every detail of every story, going to bed each night dreaming about what my life would be like when I grew up.

These are the moments that need to live on forever, not just in our memories but in a tangible way, where we can pass them along from generation to generation.

There have been so many times in my own life that I wished I could pull out the book of the life of my family members and read it aloud to my kids, complete with pictures and little stories. For these are the people who shape who we are today.

How I Turn Your Family Memories into an Heirloom Book

• The Connection: We start with a conversation to ensure this is the right fit for your loved one. My goal is to forever share the stories of your loved one, whether they have recently passed or they are ready to share their own story, to share their legacy now. You can nominate a loved one, a friend or even yourself.

• The Journey: I love including the favourite memories of different people in your loved one’s life and creating one beautiful story, with pictures, to honour their life for generations to come. I meet virtually with the people who would love to come and share their favourite memory.

• The Legacy: I weave those memories into a beautiful hardcover book for your family to share for generations to come.
