Every now and then my mom gets a rush of nostalgia and goes digging through old family photo albums.

She'll find some embarrassing picture of me from 10 to 20 years ago which ultimately finds its way into my texts with the caption: "🎶 🎶 Meeeeeemmorriieeeessss 🎶 🎶"

In that way, my mom is almost like my personal Instagram "On This Day" feature.

That'll do it. Your "On This Day" post will be added to your Instagram Story for your followers (or your mom) to see and reminisce over. You can get cute and add stickers, text, or markups before you post. Or you can just leave it as is. Either way, let the reminiscing commence.
