Join me for Wednesday's Walk Down Memory Lane! It's a brand new blogging opportunity designed to help you document those precious times in your life that you don't want to forget! If you print your weekly memories you can begin your own book that you can give to your children someday! (And pull it out every now and then to share stories with your family. Kids love to be told stories about themselves, and stories from momma's childhood!)
When Anna died I was SO grateful for the things I had written down. I wanted to remember EVERYTHING! Use Wednesday's Walk Down Memory Lane to document anything you think is worth remembering and/or sharing with your loved ones (or your blogging friends).
As we read each other's memories, it might just spark ideas for making our own memories with our loved ones.
Make us roll over laughing...make us cry....it's okay. Tell a recent event or one from long ago.
Some ideas:
- Births (emotions, surroundings, etc)
- God's provision (like the time you prayed for $50 and it miraculously showed up)
- New Home
- Funny Occurences
- Holiday Memories
- Wedding
- Goofy, Quirky Moments
- What Your Son/Daughter Said that made you laugh
- Milestones in children's lives
- Favorite movies, games or books of yours or your children
- ANY EXPERIENCES that bring you a smile, a tear, or just a warm fuzzy
This is meant to help you document your memories in a fun way. It will also motivate others to take time for making memories!
Here's how we'll do it:
First: Go and put Wednesday's Walk button on your sidebar so that you won't forget to join in each week! *But, don't worry about making a commitment, just join us when you can. :)
On Wednesdays...
1. Type up a blog with your memory/memories...long or short (shorter will get you more readers), one or more, recent or old...it doesn't matter.
**Use the Wednesday's Walk button at the top of your post each Wednesday and tell others where to go to join in.
2. Come to my blog and add your blog address to MckLinky so other's can visit your blog and read your memory. 3. Hop around from blog to blog and read and leave comments on others' blogs who are participating.
Now doesn't this sound fun?! Tell all of your friends to come on over and check it out!
You won't regret pulling out all of those wonderful memories! Just think...if you participate every week, at the end of the year you'll have 52 memories documented on your blog or for your "Memory Book" if you choose to do one.

Man! You KNOW how LOVE this kind of thing! I'm SO in! I already have a Wednesday thing, can we move to Thursday? :) Just Kidding!
Just a warning...I'm addicted to Mr. Linky. I will now be stalking your blog waiting for Mr. Linky to appear so I can be #1. :)
This sounds wonderful. I'm looking forward to participating.
Have a blessed day and an even more blessed New Year,
Denise
Lynette, I'm in! I've just copied and pasted your post on my blog, and linked back to here. How fun!
Sounds good to me! I am not so good at consistency, so it's great of you to send reminder emails!
Awesome idea Momma! :) I'll definitely be participating.
Love ya!

I've been over here to comment multiple times and I keep getting distracted... I'm in. What fun! Thanks, Lynnette. I"m just looking for things like this too so perfect timing!
Yes, this does so sound like something I am interested in!
Thank you for your sweet comment on my site....nice to know I am not the only fully eclectic person around! I tell my youngest...who tends to like screamo...that I can't handle ANYONE yelling at me - and that is my musical cutoff. Other than that, I'm usually fair game!
I look forward to seeing you on Wednesdays!

Thank you for your recent visit to my blog and for your very kind comments. Feel free to drop in anytime!
This is such a great idea! I am on a bit of blogging break but will book mark your blog so I can put out the word for this wonderful memory keeping opportunity. I'll be back for a longer visit later. have a great day!
I am thinking that this is going to be quite interesting and fun!
Oh, I think this sounds sooo neat!! I'm going to try it! Thank you so much for this new, refreshing meme!
What a wonderful idea! I got all misty eyed just thinking about it. Thanks to BATW for the heads-up.
Blessings from Japan...
Lynette,
This is a terrific idea.
I love creating memory journals, this will be so enjoyable.
I've just copied and pasted your post on my blog, and linked back to here.
Here's wishing you and your lovely family a most healthy and prosperous New Year filled with memories.

I've only just started thinking about themed days...I know I'm useless at consistency so it's the sort of thing I'll forget. But I may just give it a go :)
I think this is my whole point in blogging...to record memories and events so that I won't forget. I seem to forget so much of what happens in the lives of my children ~ blogging has been a way to look back at those precious memories and remember all of it!
What a great idea to remind us of how important this is.
This is a great idea and hopefully I'll be able to stick with it and it won't be another "fad" diet for me, lol
what a great idea! stoppin by from BATW to say hi
What a lovely idea! I'll try to participate and check it out at some point! Not going to promise anything as I feel overextended as it is but I think it is a lovely lovely idea.
Sounds like fun. I'm in!
Hi, I'm visiting from BATW and simply love this idea. I have, from time to time, written in notebooks various memories from my childhood, but this is so much more consistent and will encourage me to regularly bring forth so many memories that will be treasures for the future.
I'm signing up! Can't wait to read others memories too and share a walk down memory lane.
Many thanks, Sarah
What a wonderful idea! I'm a little late reading this blog, but will try and remember Wednesdays!!!
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
