Last Week’s Memory Making & Memory Keeping Accomplishments {2}

Last First Kiss | Journaling
Last week, Nathan and I shared the anniversary of our last first kiss. Isn’t it cute that Nathan keeps reminders of our special memories to remember? Not only did we remember that special moment, we also shared a bag of chocolate kisses that Nathan surprised me with on our last first kiss anniversary.

Facil Taqueria | Remembering
A few weeks ago, Nathan and I went to a food truck round up where I had one of the best tacos I have ever tasted. The Facil Farm taco, which I almost didn’t get because this girl doesn’t like veggies, was my favorite taco of the night. How many tacos did I have? 5.5 tacos. How many tacos did Nathan have? .5 tacos. #nojudgementzone

Trip Itinerary | Researching
Some of the best memory making and keeping starts with research. Nathan and I will be journeying to Alaska in the next year, and this trip brings us to new places: Fairbanks, Denali National Park, Anchorage, Seward, and Haines. Oh the memories we will make!

Bed Rest | Healing
A cough that doesn’t go away equals bed rest for a few weeks. Bed rest for a few weeks allows me to do a lot of memory keeping and idea generation for this blog.

Pictures | Memory Keeping
Once a week, at a scheduled time, I backup and review the pictures that we made from the previous week.

What did you do last week to make and keep memories?

Last Week’s Memory Making & Memory Keeping Accomplishments {1}

Last week was a great week for making and keeping memories.

Chicken Challenge | Cooking

iPhone 6s

Nathan and I bought a Traeger Wood Fire Grill and took the chicken challenge. Wow, does it help make good chicken. I made from scratch flour tortillas to accompany the chicken to share with Nathan, through taste, one of my favorite childhood food-related memories.

Harry Potter And The Cursed Child | Reading
I love the wizarding world of Harry Potter, and this book took me right back to Platform 9 ¾!

Jason Bourne | Watching
Nathan loves his movies, and I am so glad he does because just after we arrived at the movie theater, I happily-by-accident ran into my niece who I don’t see very often just as she was leaving the movie theater. Just thinking back on that makes me smile!

Flour Tortillas | Testing
Growing up in Southern California, I had access to fresh flour tortillas on a regular basis. However, I haven’t always lived where fresh flour tortillas are easily accessible so I learned to make my own from scratch, specifically recreating a style of flour tortilla that is best described as tender and floury. This recipe with pictures will be shared so stay tuned.

A Memory Keeping Blog

Hi there and welcome to CLICK.WRITE.POST. – a memory making and keeping blog.

When I was a little girl, I watched The Parent Trap on repeat. You know the one with Hayley Mills. There is one scene that stood out to me then and still does today. As Susan McKendrick (Hayley Mills) is hugging her grandfather, she starts sniffing his coat. Her grandfather asks Susan what she is doing. To which Susan responds, “Making a memory.”

I’m like Susan; I make memories, lots of them. What I don’t do so well is document those memories. That is where this blog comes in. CLICK.WRITE.POST. is a place to help memory makers, like you and me, also become memory keepers.

Even the name CLICK.WRITE.POST. is a reminder of what we need to do to capture life’s experiences:

CLICK. – a camera’s shutter button or the keys on a keyboard
WRITE. – a few words describing the details you want to remember
POST. – a memory someplace to share or experience again

Anything can become a memory; you shape the details, as you want to remember them. I have selected to categorize my memories as follows:

Life & Love
Food & Travel
Copper & Friends
Everything Else

These headings are found along the top of the blog just under the blog header. There are two options with each heading: hover over the heading and click on a drop down to see specific information; or click on each heading to see all blog posts related to that category.

So what do you think? Will you join me on the memory-making, memory-keeping journey? I sure do hope you’ll say yes.
