Tell them about the day they were born.
Voice archive
A voice is a keepsake.
Guided prompts turn ten quiet minutes into a recording your family will keep forever.
A bedtime song carries more than the words. It carries the pause before the chorus, the little laugh afterward, the way a familiar voice makes a room feel safe.
Advice lands differently when it sounds like the person who gave it. The same sentence can be practical on a page and tender in a voice.
There is a difference between reading "I'm proud of you" and hearing it in the voice you know by heart.

Recording a parent's stories?
You can help set up the archive, then sit together for one prompt at a time. For parents who would rather talk than use an app, phone recording, coming soon. Sunday afternoon is a fine time to start.

Keep the first one small. The archive can grow from there.
