Tell Me Your Life Story, Mom: A Mother’s Guided Journal and Memory Keepsake Book (Tell Me Your Life Story® Series Books)

I love this momentum
I love that I’ll be able to not only pass down my story for my kids but give them something they can keep and look back on for many years! I love the prompts!

A must have for Moms
This is a perfect book for moms to fill out to have something to give their kids in their own words and writing. Would make for a great gift. The questions are prompting, plenty of space to write your answer and additional blank notes pages. The questions are spot on and cover your whole life from baby to child to adult to motherhood etc. Well-made book. Worth the money.

Substance over aesthetics, this is the one
Trust me when I say I scoured various websites, comparing pros and cons, purchased and returned at least a half a dozen of these life story books before finally deciding that this is the one I want to give to my mom. (I also got the dad version) For me it came down to the variety of questions that are non-repetitive, just the right amount of space for writing thoughts, empty pages for free writing and notes to loved ones, family tree, basic information, short answer questions, favorites, to thought provoking prompts, and paper quality. There are also no places for attaching photos, which I like because I can see my mom getting frustrated about having to dig through albums and old photo envelopes to find them…that’s what photo albums are for. I prefer that this is strictly for writing. The pages aren’t thin, your average book paper. It doesn’t look as though writing from the other side will show through.The cover is warped, as shown in my photo but it’s not a deal breaker for me. I’m not crazy about the feel of the cover either, it’s more of a waxy matte than a silky smooth matte. Again though, what’s inside is exactly what I was looking for, so I’m willing to overlook that. The inside, like the cover, is very plain and simple. Would have liked more of an interesting design and graphics.However, something about this one just spoke to me and the others don’t compare.My mom has been struggling with getting older and feeling the mental and physical effects of it, (she’s 75 and hasn’t been the same since she broke her hip over a year ago) so I think this will be a wonderful way to lift her spirits and get her mind on things that bring back memories. It will give her something to do that feels meaningful 😊

Best Mother’s Day Gift
I got this for my mom for Mother’s Day. She loved it and I will love it one day as well.

Up to now as I am still writing would like a blank page in order to extend my memories. I am aware there are some but would ĺike more. But good questions so good information about me.

The basic idea is good but for me, it didn’t make any sense as it is not a guided journal for the past generation it’s more a book where I write my story down more or less in solitude… which defeats the purpose in my opinion.Despite that, you can see plenty ’empty’ pages to fill the book.Lastly, I bought the paperback and the pages are too fine so that you can see your writing partly on the next page and the whole book feels very flimsy. Nothing you pass down for generations… it’s like a workbook, use it and dispose it.

It was just a gift that was a little bit different
