The stories worth keeping. Pick up the pen.

This isn't a memory book. It isn't a scrapbook with cartoon hearts in the margins. It isn't somewhere to write down recipes and bless your grandkids with "Grandma's wisdom."

The Mixtape Grandparent is a legacy system for the grandparent who grew up making mixtapes — the ones with handwritten labels and one specific song that ruined them in the best way — and is now becoming the kind of grandparent nobody saw coming.

A guided journal you can hold. A digital version you can fill from anywhere. Thirty video prompts for the ones who'd rather talk than write. Same job, three formats — because the work of leaving your real story behind shouldn't depend on whether you prefer pen, keyboard, or camera.

Your grandkids are going to inherit your stuff. Give them your story first — the version that was walking around at seventeen, in love with a song nobody else understood. That version. The one money can't pass down.
