Your kids will want your stories someday. Start saving them today.
Answer simple lists about your life — not a book you have to write. Decembers weaves them into a Timeline your family will treasure.
Start your first listFree to start. Private from the first word.
Video games that ate my free time
Tetris on a Game Boy, screen protector held on with tape.
Countries I’ve visited
Portugal — tiled sidewalks, and fish I can’t get anywhere else.
Decisions that changed my direction
Turned down the promotion everyone told me to take. Best call I made.
One conversation on a porch, and I moved across the country.
Still writing this one…
Money lessons I learned the hard way
Bought the car I couldn’t afford. Paid it off for three years.
Finally learned what a variable-rate mortgage actually does.

Every pet I’ve ever had
Smokey - our beloved blue heeler.
Biscuit, the three-legged tabby who still rules the house.
Your family knows the outline of your life. The details are the good part.

Start anywhere. There’s no blank page.
Every car you ever owned or drove daily
From your first set of keys to whatever's parked outside right now.
Every pet you've ever had
From your very first to whoever's curled up nearby right now.
A night you spent somewhere unforgettable
A train across a continent, a tent on a tide line. Where you slept, and what made it stick.
Deployments and tours you served
Where you went, how long you were gone, and what you carried home from it.
Businesses you started — big, small, or short-lived
The paper route empire, the side hustle, the one that almost made it.
And so many more
Lists for every aspect of your life. Add photos and stories. Always at your own pace.

Your timeline builds automatically
Share it with your close friends and family
You don’t have to remember it all yourself.
Invite a sister, an old roommate, a friend from the first job. They add what you’ve forgotten. You decide what to keep.
Every car I’ve owned
The Corolla with no air conditioning, all through that Austin summer.
You kept a towel on that seat and swore it was fine. It was not fine.

You drove us to Liberty Lunch in it anyway. We got there soaked through.

Dozens of small lists. One story only they get to read.
You don’t sit down to write a memoir. You just answer what’s put in front of you — a list at a time — and Decembers quietly weaves the answers into one Timeline as you go.

One quiet page. Not a profile.
No public link. No followers, no likes, no feed to scroll. Just the people you name, each one invited on purpose — and nobody you didn’t.
