A2Me Quarterly
Your family's own magazine — composed automatically each quarter from the photos, memories, and milestones you shared.
What is A2Me Quarterly?
Every quarter your family lives a story — the lake trip, two birthdays, a grandmother's pierogi recipe finally written down. A2Me Quarterly turns those three months into a magazine: a cover photo, a photo spread of the moments the family loved most, memories written by family members about each other, the quarter's milestones and gatherings, journal entries, and a look at the quarter ahead.
Nobody has to make it. Each issue composes itself from what your family shared, and you can review it before it's final — swap the cover, hide anything, then lock the issue. Issues adapt to the quarter: busy quarters make fuller issues, quiet ones lean on evergreen pages.
The digital magazine lives in a2me. A printed edition is available as a quarterly add-on — each locked issue delivered by mail as a 6×9 saddle-stitched magazine.
Why It Matters
A yearbook arrives once a year; a feed scrolls past in a day. A quarterly magazine sits in between — often enough to feel like life, considered enough to feel like a keepsake. It's the family fridge door, edited and bound.
In print, it's a standing gift: four times a year, a grandparent gets their family's quarter in the mailbox — photos, memories in the family's own words, and the dates ahead — without anyone having to assemble a thing.

Example Usage
Scenario: Marcia wants her grandmother to feel close to the family's life without keeping up with a feed.
Through the summer, the family just lives: lake-trip photos, a thirteenth birthday, story answers about Grandma's Sunday pierogi. In the first week of October, Marcia opens the July–September issue — the cover, the photo spread, and the memories are already composed.
She swaps the cover to the four-generations photo from the lake, hides one blurry shot, and locks the issue.
With the print add-on, the issue ships by October 10th and lands in her grandmother's mailbox — the family's summer, in the family's own words, on paper.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is A2Me Quarterly?
A2Me Quarterly is your family's own magazine. Each quarter, A2Me automatically composes an issue from what your family shared — a cover photo, a photo spread of the quarter's best moments, memories written by family members about each other, birthdays and gatherings, family journal entries, and a look at the quarter ahead.
Do I have to make the magazine myself?
No — every issue composes itself from your family's quarter. You can review an issue before it's final: swap the cover photo, hide anything you'd rather leave out, and lock it when it's just right. If you do nothing, the issue simply reflects your family's quarter as it happened.
When does each issue come out?
Issues follow the calendar quarters — January to March, April to June, July to September, and October to December — and every family is on the same schedule. Once a quarter ends, the issue is open for review through the 7th of the following month, then locks automatically; printed copies ship by the 10th of January, April, July, and October. The October–December issue also includes your family's Year in Numbers.
Can I get a printed copy?
Yes. A printed edition is available as a quarterly add-on: each locked issue is printed as a 6×9 saddle-stitched magazine — the quarter's photos, memories, and milestones on paper — and delivered by mail. It makes a wonderful standing gift for parents and grandparents.
What happens in a quiet quarter?
Issues adapt to your family's quarter. A busy quarter makes a fuller issue; a quieter one leans on evergreen pages like family journal entries and the look ahead. If a quarter is too thin to print well, A2Me checks with you before printing anything.
Does the magazine change after it's locked?
Digital issues stay live — they grow as the quarter unfolds. Locking an issue freezes it for print: whatever your family adds or removes afterwards never changes a printed issue.
Who can see our magazine?
Only your family. Every issue is composed from content already shared within your family circle and respects each item's audience settings — private entries never appear in a magazine.
