The stories your family tells later start here.
Maybe it was the night you had ice cream for dinner.
The Saturday a $20 bill turned into a mystery adventure.
The ridiculous family saying nobody outside your house would understand.
The story Grandma told so many times that everyone knew when to laugh.
These are the things that become family lore.
The Family Memory Maker Toolkit gives you 52 ideas for making more of them. Spontaneous adventures. New traditions. Ridiculous surprises. Ways to capture your family's stories. And plenty of ideas for turning a completely ordinary day into one your family talks about for years.
No elaborate planning. No pressure to make every moment magical.
Just more opportunities for magic to happen.
52 ways to make a memory.
And no two families will make them quite the same way.
Future Archaeologists
Choose five ordinary household objects and invent the wildly incorrect conclusions archaeologists might make about them 500 years from now.
The Family Census
Count the hilariously specific things that characterize your household right now, from stuffed animals and mugs to unmatched socks and fridge magnets.
The Memory Smell Box
Use familiar scents to discover the memories your family carries in places photographs can't reach.
The Family Constellation
Find your own shape in the stars, give it a family name, and invent the legend that explains how it got there.
The One-Mile Safari
Explore a tiny radius around home and see how many living things your family has passed a hundred times without really noticing.
The Family Recipe Hotline
Call the relative whose version everyone loves and make the dish together while following their wonderfully imprecise instructions.
There’s no schedule for making memories.
This isn’t homework, and there’s nothing to keep up with.
Pick something because Saturday afternoon is wide open. Pull out an idea when everyone is bored. Plan one for a birthday. Repeat the one your kids won’t stop talking about. Ignore half the Toolkit for six months and come back when you need it.
There’s no Week 1 or Week 52.
Use them in any order, as often as you like, in whatever way works for your family.
Everything you need to start making memories.
The Family Memory Maker Toolkit is filled with 52 creative memory-making ideas for turning regular family life into adventures, traditions, stories, and moments worth remembering.
Some you can do on the spur of the moment. Others are worth planning ahead. When an activity benefits from a little something extra, the materials are included.
Some activities have more than one piece to help bring the idea to life. You’ll find everything from Family Fun Auction paddles and play money to Secret Mission Dinner cards, Family Mailbox stationery, a Lost Tooth Travel Log, and more.
Print the ones you need, when you need them.
Make a little more room for the memorable stuff.
You just need an idea that makes you think, “We should do that.”

Do I need to do all 52 activities?
Not at all. Think of the Toolkit as a menu, not a checklist. Pick whatever sounds fun for your family, skip anything that doesn’t, repeat your favorites, and come back whenever you’re looking for something new to do.
Are these activities for a specific age?
The ideas are designed to be adapted to your own family. Some will naturally work better for certain ages and stages than others, so you can choose the ones that make sense for your kids right now.
Do all 52 activities have printables?
No. Most of the activities don’t need them. 15 activities include companion materials, with 32 printable pieces in all. They’re there when a little something extra helps bring an activity to life.
Do I need to buy special supplies?
Many of the ideas use things you already have or require very little. Some activities may call for supplies, food, an outing, or other purchases depending on how you choose to do them.
Is this a physical product?
No. The Family Memory Maker Toolkit is a digital product, so nothing will be shipped to you. You’ll receive the Toolkit and its companion printables digitally after purchase.
Do I need to print the whole thing?
No. You can keep the Toolkit digital and print individual companion materials when you want to use them.
Today looks ordinary.
That doesn’t mean it has to be forgettable.
Pick one for this weekend. Save another for summer. Start a tradition nobody in your family knows is a tradition yet.
And somewhere along the way, give your family a few more stories that begin with:
“Remember when we…?”
