This is This.

This. is our family’s collection – a place where we gather the magic of who we are and reflect on the moments that make us, us.

We think of it as a family grimoire, filled with the traditions we hold close, the new ones we’re creating, and the little details that might otherwise fade over time. It’s where we document what inspires us, what challenges us, and everything in between. More than a keepsake, it’s a living space to reflect, to build, and to share.

At the heart of it all is kindness. It’s how we try to live our lives – by noticing the small acts that make each day a little brighter. Every evening, we reflect on those moments of kindness, whether it’s something we’ve done or something someone has done for us. It’s a simple practice, but it reminds us of what truly matters: connection, compassion, and the way small actions can ripple outward.

Those little acts – holding a door open, offering a kind word, or simply being present – are what makes us human. They’re the stories we believe are worth sharing, not because they’re grand or extraordinary, but because they have the power to inspire more kindness. And in a world that sometimes feels overwhelming, we believe these small moments, when shared, can make a real difference.

For us, there’s something powerful about capturing the magic of family – the favorite recipes, the stories passed down, the lessons learned, and the details that connect us. One day, we hope our kids will look back at This. and remember the wonder of our little family. The way we laughed, the way we lived, and the way we found joy in the smallest things.

We’ve always wished we had more of this from our own family history: the thoughts, the habits, the everyday details. What did they value? What made them laugh? What were their favorite colors, their go-to beauty routines, or the meals they loved to make? Those are the moments we hope to preserve here – not because they’re extraordinary, but because they’re ours.

And because we’re tech lovers at heart, we’re transparent about how we’re creating This. We lean on the tools like AI to help us outline our thoughts and grow as writers. Coming from backgrounds in scientific and business writing, this kind of creativity work is new for us. But that’s what This. is all about – learning, growing, and sharing the magic of our family’s story, one detail at a time.

This. isn’t perfect, but it’s ours. And we’re glad you’re here to be part of it.
