BK My Mom in Her Own Words

An Interview Journal to Capture Reflections in His or Her Own Words

Family members are a wellspring of wisdom, lessons learned from life experiences, perspectives, history, and stories only they can share. This is a place to record those memories, from special childhood moments and family traits to favorite traditions and heartfelt advice. The book’s reflective prompts and the author's own words (and handwriting!) create an irreplaceable keepsake—a time capsule of love that can be enjoyed by family for years to come.

Use the book’s simple but meaningful questions to record stories that have shaped  life:

What are some stories about your own parents?

What are some family heirlooms or mementos you’ve kept, and why are they special to you?

If you could go back in time to relive any moment in your life, what would it be? And why?

(If your family fears he or she will “ruin” it, offer to type up the answers that he/she can then write in the book. Or write down the answers yourself if necessary - what an awesome way to spend the afternoon with someone you love. The main thing is to capture these memories and pearls! You won't regret the effort; trust us.)
