I really like the grandma/grandpa books. Granparents being able to share and preserve the memories of when they were kids is very special.

I’ve wanted something like this for a long time. My father is already gone, and my mom is nearing 80. I want my boys to know them in a significant way and I’m not sure it will be possible except with a family journal like this.

I subscribed to your newsletter. I think the most interesting part of the journals will be the questions. I think that they could bring about some great answers and insights to whoever you give them too.

I would love a copy of the mom, dad and grandma books. Such a wonderful idea and fantastic keepsakes to hand down to our kids. A couple things I really like about the books: the hardcover (to last through the years), and the fun questions they ask (simple, but sometimes never discussed, fun and wonderful memory makers - such as this one in the mom book: what are some of your favorite memories of your mother?). Thanks for the chance!

I would love 2 of the mom books and one of the reunion book. I think its great to get everyones recollections written down its soo easy to forget all the stories of the past.

I would LOVE the Honey journal… I think it’d be a great way to get my husband to share.. especially now that he’s deployed.

Sandy says:
I like the entire concept of leaving or making a book for whomever- becuase we may listen to the stories but we do not always hear what they are saying and they are down for a long time to cherish and preserve

Carrie Lim says:
I like the idea of having my parents fill it out and then giving them to my kids as they graduate college. Then it is more meaningfull.

The journals are a great way to gather and pass down information about your heritage.

Jenny says:
I think I’d want the Honey journal to share with my husband. Sometimes there are things you’ll write to someone that you can’t say to their face, and that’s what I like best. I think the questions in these are easy to answer because they aren’t intimidating, but at the same time they’re revealing.

These journals are such a wonderful idea!
I like that they are hardcover, spiral-bound, keepsake journals. The fact I enjoy the best are they are fun questions that get handwritten answers! Please enter me in your delightful drawing. This would make a great anniversary gift for my sister in November! Many thanks, Cindi

I like that there are questions in the journals so even those not used to writing can write something meaningful. Its a great way to share family memories from generation to generation.

What fun journals- I love that they are small enough that you could carry them with you to fill out when you have a little extra time- If I was the lucky winner I would pick the mom & dad journals to fill out to give my son when he graduates and the reunion journal- Great give-a-way!!!

I love the grandparent books. I only have my grandmothers, and didn’t know my grandfather very well. I want my kids to know them better. What a great blog thanks.

I like that within each book you can find serious questions and humorous questions. The fact that there are a good amount of questions to answer make for finding out a lot of information about that someone special.

I like that the books are spiral-bound. Makes opening and closing numerous times easier, and I wouldn’t be concerned about the whole thing falling apart. Thanks!

I subscribed to your newsletter and I think what I like about the journals the most is that they give a writing prompt but leave plenty of space for the person’s own feelings to be written. I love being able to see the person’s own handwriting with their feelings also.

I like that they have more then just Mom/Dad Grandma/Grandpa. I love the idea of the brother sister and the reunion one would be so much fun.
