Ringing in the New Year means welcoming new possibilities and setting exciting goals for yourself.
But it is also a perfect time to reflect on the past year and remember all of the amazing and wacky happenings that took place.
Little memorable moments are what sweeten up our lives, but they can easily be overlooked if you don't have a way to recall them.
Some people keep a journal — but if you don't want to commit to chronicling big and little life events every single day, there is also this fun DIY that you'll love.
To start out, you'll need to write down all of the year's memorable moments on little slips of paper — you can spend an afternoon recalling them but spending the entire 12 months compiling them as they happen is much more fun.
Don't leave any good memory out; they can be as big as an engagement or pregnancy or a little as a fun afternoon with a friend.
As you compile, you can place all the little slips into a special jar, but make sure to make it large enough to fit everything.
After the year is up and you've written down an entire year's worth of memories into the jar, you can empty it out on the last day of the year and have a blast reading and recalling everything that happened.
This project may take a year to complete, but it also couldn't be easier, and you'll have such a fun time remembering everything that made it magical.
