I recently read a book from the library (well...started to read...when is the last time I finished a book anyway?) that stressed the importance of preserving memories for your children. I searched for a doable option and found these fun kid journals. Each day, I ask the kids a question and record their responses in their journals. I will ask them the same question on a particular date three years in a row, and then can see how their answers change over the years. I've only done this for a month, but I think this is something that I will stick with and will provide a lot of laughs for them in the future. The kids love to answer their questions for the day and will often remind me to ask them. Here are a few examples...
(A few of the questions are a bit odd and need modification...not Christian per se, but for the most part they are fine.)
