I’m Annie.

I'm a mom of four — two biological and two adopted — and I have been keeping up with the chaos, the memories and the magic of raising this amazing crew.

When my first adopted daughter was little I started texting funny updates to her birth mom. Things like her current obsession with mermaids, the hilarious things she'd say, the little moments I didn't want anyone to miss. And one day I thought — what if I turned this into something? A card she could fill out every birthday, with fun questions that would capture exactly who she is right now?

So I made one. Then eighteen of them — one for every birthday from age one to eighteen. That little idea became the Birthday Interview Card Set — a way to capture your child's personality year after year before you forget every single adorable thing about each age. Fill them out together, pop them in the mail and send them to their birth family.

I also turned those cards into a Birthday Interview Book — a beautiful keepsake you hold onto until they turn eighteen, then hand it back so they can see exactly who they were at every age in their own handwriting. It also makes the most perfect gift for a new baby — because those years go faster than anyone warns you.

Then I realized that in the world we live in, digital just makes sense. Easy to fill out in minutes, delivered straight to the inbox. So I added more prompted cards for holidays, milestones and everyday updates and Cards that Connect was born — a simple way for adoptive families to send meaningful, personal updates to their child's birth family without the blank page, without the overthinking. Just connection.

And the Family Traditions Book? That came from me completely blanking every holiday on what we actually did last year. I needed somewhere to write it all down so I could stop reinventing the wheel and just enjoy the traditions we already had.

Everything I've built came from a real problem I was actually living. I'm just really glad it can help your family too.

Welcome to Write It & Remember It. 💛
