Remember when memory-keeping meant scrapbooks, scissors, glue sticks, and hours of free time? Yeah, neither do we. If you’re a mum trying to capture your child’s milestones in between school drop-offs, snack requests, and 300 loads of laundry, then this blog is for you. Modern memory-keeping isn’t about perfection—it’s about using the tools that make your life easier. Here are three platforms that help turn "I'll do it later" into "look what I made!"

1. Canva: The Customisable Keepsake Hub

Canva is a modern mum’s secret weapon. Our Wildfolk Memory Books are built entirely in Canva because it offers:

  • Easy drag-and-drop photo features

  • Flexible text entry so you can type instead of write

  • Customisable fonts, colours, and layouts to suit your aesthetic

You don’t need to be a designer. You just need a few minutes and a memory to capture. And the best part? You can print it later (or not at all).

2. Google Photos: The Brain You Don’t Have to Be

Remembering when your child took their first step or said their first word? Google Photos does. With its smart search functions (try typing "beach," "cake," or even "dog"), it’s like a visual diary that remembers the moments you were too tired to write down.

Plus, when you’re filling out your memory book and need a photo from "that messy but magic day at the park," you don’t have to scroll endlessly—Google's got your back.

3. ChatGPT: Your Thought-to-Text Translator

So many mums say, "I don’t know what to write." That’s where ChatGPT comes in. Whether you need help writing your child’s birth story, a letter to your toddler, or filling out a cute but blank prompt page—you can feed it a few dot points and it’ll do the heavy lifting.

No pressure. No writer’s block. Just a helping hand to bring your love into words.
