MY THOUGHTS:

For me I am old school and love to have actual books with notes in it.  Its funny because I am on my computer all day long but for certain things I prefer to write them down the old fashioned way – with a pencil and paper!  I also have a terrible memory so I try to write down as much as I can especially when it comes to my kids.  I want them to be able to look back and read about how they were as babies and kids.  The Glow Baby “My Story:  A Book of Memories” is a great journal for a busy mom like me who wants to take good notes and have a nice book to cherish for years to come.

My Story – A Book of Memories

My Story…A Book of Memories is a busy parent’s Memory book. No more stuffing artwork and other important keepsakes in a drawer for organization at a later time. Now parents can easily organize their child’s artwork, certificates, school photos and other special items into large pockets and quickly jot down special moments and milestones to remember.   My Story is a unique way to remember the special moments and important details of your child’s life and makes a wonderful keepsake.

Features:
•12 – 9 x 11 1/4 gusseted pockets for simple storage of artwork, photos and documents
•Pockets are structured to note child’s age, weight, height and provides space to affix photo
•Plenty of space to describe special moments and events
•My Story is not age-specific. Use a single pocket for each age or utilize an entire book to capture a year of memories
•Integrated band keeps the book closed to protect contents
•Colours: Fuchsia, Apple Green, Cornflower Blue

The “My Story:  A Book of Memories” first off is a big cardboard/fabric covered book that is spiral bound inside and held closed with elastic.  I chose green and it is a soft but pretty colored green, perfect for boys or girls.  The first page of the book has a spot for “This book belongs to: “ and “Date of Birth.”  Then there are 12 heavy-duty pages that have a spot for:  Age, Height, Weight, Place Photo Here, and Special Moments/Milestones.  Then you can slip inside each page some keepsakes.  The pages won’t hold too much and are only the size of a regular sheet of paper, but perfect for something special from each year.  I think this would be perfect to start in 1^st grade through senior year of high school, but since the Age part is left blank you can start anytime.  Because this book has a sturdy cover and thick pages, I can see it lasting and holding up well through the years, to great a great keepsake for your child.
