Carry a Journal

Often times, when you and your child are out and about, your child says something cute, and you say to yourself, "I will remember that forever." or "I will write that down when I get home." Chances are you may forget what your child has said by the time you are home. You may soon regret forgetting what was said.

Another scenario, you may see or read something unique special, and you think to yourself, "Oh that is good. I will remember that." Once again, when you are trying to remember what that unique moment was, you may have forgotten already.

Carry a journal or notebook with a pen, small enough to put in your pocket or purse. As soon as you hear or see an observation, you can record it as soon as possible. The journal will become a recording of your experiences and adventures.

This will be a treasure to share with your children.
