I grew up in a home rich with family heritage. My mom loved genealogy and knew how to breathe life into dusty documents and color to faded black and white photos - my mom told me stories.

As a grown woman with five children of my own, I've tried to do the same. For years I did it through scrapbooking. But it didn't take long to realize that it wasn't my artistic skills my children really cared about. They never stopped on a page and said, "Mom, you matched that paper to my shirt - perfectly!" Nope. What they did say as they leaned across my lap, pointing at photos is, "Tell me the story!" "Tell me mom about the day I was born... Tell me mom about the day I cried when everyone sang me happy birthday... Tell me mom about my grandma and her garden..."

My mom is no longer with us, or as the expert she would likely be featured on this page. Instead, as a product of her expertise, I'm here trying hard to help others have what we had in our family. With the help of a wonderful team and Co-Founder, that effort has become an amazing company called Cherish Bound.

Our dream is to help every family create a library of their own personal stories - and we're here to help you every step of the way. I've met so many people over the years that don't feel like they have anything important to say or share about their lives... until they pick up a Story Starter!

What an honor to help you get started on your family stories... to be a part of helping you make story a part of your everyday... to help you feel the power of story in your own life!
