Photos, recipes, random stories, even that “who’s that guy again?” moment — they’re all part of your family’s legacy. Let’s make it real, not just remembered. Whether you’re retired and finally ready to dig in, juggling work and elder care with shelves of old albums, or just thinking “It’s now or never,” this month is your moment. Not to do everything. Just to begin.
