At the start of the year, I shared my monthly themes for 2026 as a way to guide memory keeping, journaling, and creative projects throughout the year. I noticed last night after I sent out my newsletter (are you a subscriber?) that I had made a slight error. I had renewal as a theme for March, but realized I had grouped the theme of renewal in with growth for January. I like how that turned out, but I don’t want to be too repetitive, so I made an adjustment. Now, the theme for March will be Moments in Time. Why am I telling you this in February? If you like to plan ahead, I want you to have all the information.

I’ve updated the original post, but you may still see some images floating around the internet with the original themes. Sorry about that. Just proof that there is a human in charge here. lol!

Welcome to a new month. February always feels like a good time to slow down and pay attention to the relationships in our lives. While this month often gets framed around big romantic gestures, I love using it to notice the smaller, more meaningful ways love and connection show up in everyday life.

This month’s theme is Love and Connection, and it’s one of my favorites because it weaves its way through so many of our stories.

Welcome to a brand new year! I always love the feeling of January. It’s a time that naturally invites a fresh start, renewed energy, and space to reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re headed. I hope you had a chance to read yesterday’s post about adding monthly themes to my memory keeping (and documenting) process. I’m really excited about this and today, I’ll be kicking it off by introducing January’s theme.

This year, I’m trying something new. Each month in 2026 will have a simple focus word. Think of it as an easy lens you can use for photos, journaling, and scrapbook pages. When you have a theme, you do not have to start from scratch. You can notice everyday moments more easily, then document them with less pressure.
