I have fallen more and more in love with planning this year than ever before. I have several that help keep me organized personally and professionally, but my Memory Planner is the way I keep my family's everyday memories documented. Here are my latest planner pages that I created for April.

The planner I am still using for April is the Heidi Swapp Love Today Large Memory Planner. I just can't help but enjoy the layout it gives me for more photos. The dividers come clear, so that the next page peeks through.
This month I was loving the Heidi Swapp Storyline Deck of Days Sticker Kits available in Michael's Stores. The captions seemed to just work for this month.
In places where I didn't have a lot to say, they came in handy.
So many funny things happened that I don't want to forget. I am so glad I was able to jot it down! I also saw a few things this month that I thought to document. For example, my father-in-law has such a unique way of preparing his plate for consumption.There is a whole ritual behind it. No one in the family notices it because it is something that he has done for almost 72 years. Yet, here I am standing on the outside looking in and it is just something I needed to take a photo of. I know I will want to remember that about him.
Easter week I took a lot of photos. So did everyone else and I was able to use their photos as well. I just created an extra page with scrapbook paper and added the photos and stories.
I did my hair and makeup so nice one day this week that I didn't want Chalk Art paint to get into it while I sprayed a birthday message for my husband. I totally took a selfie of my scarf wrapped head and added it to my page. Ha!
When my husband is away golfing, I make sure to ask him to send me photos so that I can add his point of view into the planner. I actually enjoy seeing his photos and print them often. He sees the world differently than I do and it deserves to be documented too!
