Birthday memories... for the children of the memory-keeping challenged.

Not every mom has the time or energy to be the super scrapbooker that our kids deserve. This book, that I picked up at Pottery Barn Kids, is set up in a way that allows you to write down minimal facts one year at a time, easily store memorabilia (like invitations and cards), and let's your kid do the talking. The important thing is that it records memories of your child's life from birth to age 18 in a unique, concise way that all moms CAN do and kids will enjoy having.

I love that this book has interviews with your child that you write down, gives you ideas of ordinary but special things to keep in its time capsule envelopes, and has space for a few pictures of your child at every age. The only thing left up to you is recording these precious memories every year on your child's birthday...even a mom with a late start could catch up with this one!
