Don't forget to take those pictures of you with your kids today or tomorrow. Use these photos to start a picture memory book that you add a couple of pages to every year.On one page mount the photos of you and your child. On the next page or two let your child make a drawing or collage from old magazines of things that remind them of you. While they are making a book for you, you could make a book for them too, writing down what you love about them and pasting pictures of their interests for this year.
These books will be a lifelong treasure. I bet Grandma would love to get in on this action as well, if you are still looking for a thoughtful gift for her.
Special Note: Notice that the items your child picks out to remind them of you may be an eye-opening opportunity to help you reshuffle your priorities. I wouldn't be surprised if my kids glued pictures of shoes or garage sale signs in their books instead of a Bible.
Do you any great ideas for mother's day presents? What have been your favorite?
