Who takes responsibility of documenting a family's memories?

After becoming a mom, Hilary Robison also took on the mantle of "keeper of family memories." Her experience led her and her husband to found Legacy Tale, where they help clients "learn how intentional living, memory-making, and technology come together to build stronger families and make life more enjoyable."

Living life intentionally

In this episode, we discuss how we can be oblivious to experiences while we’re in the midst of them. By being intentional in our choices, we have a better chance of creating experiences (and the memories that follow) that strengthen our relationships and make us more resilient as a family.

Treasuring the experiences as they happen

Hilarie's advice includes creating a roadmap or strategic family, with input from parents and kids. Ask:

• Who do we want to be?
• What’s our vision for our family?
• How do we achieve that?
• What kind of experiences do we want to have? e.g. places we want to travel

Why? Because experiences shape who we become.

Hilarie didn’t want to look back and say, “Where did the time go? What did I do with that time?”
