After the death of my mother, this past year, I realized just how important it is to hear a loved one’s voice. It was not until she was gone that I realize just how much I loved to hear my mother’s voice. It doesn’t matter what she said, as long as I could her voice!

I wanted to share an awesome journaling site with my readers. It is called LifeOnRecord. The website is www.lifeonrecord.com.

I was given the privilege of reviewing this site for 45 days. At the end of the review period the company sent me a compact disc of all the recorded messages left in my voice journal. I have come to treasure this disc. It has family and friends voices on it that I will have a memory of for the rest of my life. Plus my children will be able to hear their voices long after their gone.

The website tag line is record your memories – record you life. All you need is a phone number to get started. This product is great for birthday parties, weddings, graduations or for anytime of memory album.

I was amazed at the different type of plans that this website offers. You can sign up for two months for a journal or one year, two years or three years. For special events like, weddings you can sign up based on the number of participants. What a great gift to give to newly weds, the voice of family and friends sharing in the special day.

Once you sign up at the website you are given a phone number and journal number, if you are the person the account is for you are given a password. You can check you journaling messages online or via phone, and download them to iTunes. Next send everyone you know an email or give them a call and ask them to leave you a voice journal. It is so simple, my six year old daughter dialed in and left me a precious voice message. I plan on letting her listen to this when she graduates from high school! Each person that wants to leave a voice journal for you calls and logs in to your journal box and leaves their voice recording.

In my review, I had messages that were a few seconds long to quite a few minutes long. It was so fun for the participants. Here are just a few of their comments:

“I found it very simple to dial the toll free number and log into, Melissa’s voice journal. I was able to leave her a heartfelt message.” Quote from Melissa’s former pastor.

“I love the flexibility of the way we were able to leave a message and have our special message recorded for years to come.”


It is so easy! Do you know someone that is camera shy person or someone who is not a big talker? Then all they have to do is call the toll free number and log into your journal and leave you the message that they might not otherwise be able to say.

You can request a compact disc of your records on a monthly basis for each account or if you are doing a special event you can also receive one for a birthday or wedding.
