I love the idea of a family memory book to track milestones, celebrations, and fun memories throughout the years. My mother-in-law has always shared this idea with me of writing down funny things our kids say so we can look back at them later. It wasn’t until after receiving Mom’s Moments – Smiles to Remember that I had a simple and fun way to track it.
I had the privilege of meeting Sherri Martinelli, author of Mom’s Moments – Smiles to Remember, at one of her speaking events. She has a true passion for serving moms and providing resources so that they can fully live out their purpose of motherhood.
About the Family Memory Book: Mom’s Moments – Smiles to Remember
Mom’s Moments – Smiles to Remember is a keepsake family memory journal and daily devotional. There is a page for every day of the year with areas to write down each family memory and the year it happened. If you want to write down more than what the line provides, there is an option for writing a story in the back of the book and citing the page to read more.
Each page of the book also provides a daily devotional by the author, including bible verses. The devotionals in the book are described as “Inspirational, heartwarming, & humorous poems.” The concept of having a devotional and family memory book in one is a unique idea!
Benefits of having a Family Memory Book
Having a book to track family memories will help moms reflect not only on the big milestones but also on the small, noteworthy moments as well. We’re in a digital age where we have multiple videos and photos of our children on our smartphones. However, the simplicity of a keepsake journal to read and remember family moments later in life will be incredibly valuable.
Thinking about my own family, I know that there are milestones or funny moments my kids have had that have already slipped my mind (and gosh – they’re only 2 and 3 years old). Life passes by so quickly, and I want to look back on these memories with joy in my heart. As they say in parenting – the days are long, but the years are short.
