Your Life Story in Your Own Words - A Mother's Legacy

Not very personal. Like answering questions in a lame interview for a stranger who doesn't really want to know you. After I saw the father version featured on TV, I was expecting something more in depth where I could really express my hopes and lessons I had learned to my child when she got older. I think this is boring, and I have no interest in writing in it. I'm sure she would have little interest in reading it when the time came.

This is a great little book to share your thoughts with the family. We lost our Mom in December and she had filled out one of these. We all took turns reading her words and that brought comfort to us all.

I value all of her written mementos (my baby books, her journals) so so very much. They mean so much to me that I make sure to leave as much in writing for my children as I can so they will always know how much I love them and how much they have changed my life. This book is perfect. Full disclosure for my ratings and reviews. I have inserted this disclosure so that you, the potential buyer, might understand how I review items and why I review the items I review. I utilize the store for the vast majority items I purchase from day to day. I purchase items such as electronics and electronic devices, technology related devices, computer related devices, tools and knives, clothing, jewelry, cell phone related devices, devices with Bluetooth capability and in general just about every device one might purchase for home or work. In some cases, I do receive items from the store sellers at a discounted price in exchange for my fair and honest review. The items I select to receive at a discounted price in exchange for my fair and honest review are items that I use and items that I have a genuine interest in. The fact that I receive some items at a discounted price in exchange for a fair and honest review does not mean that the reviews will only be positive, 4 or 5 stars. As I mentioned, the reviews I post are my fair and honest opinion based on how I felt the product met the expectation that it portrayed on the posting advertisement. This means that when I review a product I do give consideration to that product compared to other products from other manufacturers but it is not the primary focus of my review because I believe in the honesty of the advertisement. If the product advertised is advertised as being far superior or even just superior from its competitors, then I review it as compared to its competitors. If the product advertised is only advertised based on the specific qualities of the product then that is what I review, the specific qualities of that product. This is important to understand when reading my reviews. Peoples tastes and expectations are all different therefor I try not to give generic or vague reviews as much as possible. Below is the breakdown of my start rating review system. the store allows rating as 1 to 5 stars. I believe a 5-star item is an item that has met or exceeded each and every one of the expectations, promises, or statements that it had in its advertisement AND that it has proven to perform better than the majority of products in its class. A 4-star rating means that the product has met or exceeded each and every one of the expectations, promises, or statements that it had in its advertisement but it does not particularly stand out among other products in its class of similar design, cost, and functionality. A 3-star rating means that a product met or exceeded most, but not all, of the expectations, promises, or statements that it had in its advertisement. A 2-star rating means that a product did not met or exceeded many one of the expectations, promises, or statements that it had in its advertisement. A 1-star rating means that the product was overall poor, the seller was not forthcoming in the advertisement and the product met none of the advertisement claims. All of these reviews are my opinion and my opinion alone and are not reflective of the store or any other company and I do not have any personal or business relationship with any company of any product I review.

Thanks for sending this book (as I had ordered) and it arrived within the expected timeframe as well as being well packaged.
This is a wonderful opportunity for myself, my mother and my mother-in-law to put down information and thoughts for current and future family.
I can stick on photos if I need to as there is space for these as well.
We don't celebrate thanksgiving here in New Zealand so we can put in some of our holidays.

This is a journal full of lovely flower images and prompts for you to record your own life story for your children. A woman could fill this out at any time in her life, not just when her kids are small.
Samples: How old were you when you met Dad, and what attracted you to him?
Did a tragedy ever strike your family? How were you affected?
Describe your childhood bedroom. What was the view from your bedroom?

This is an awesome book! I researched many of the books out there before buying this series for my husband, my mom, and myself to fill out for my son. This was a great pick and a great deal! Of course, you're going to find that some of the questions may not apply to you but overall it is an awesome book that allows you to share your life with your child.

My daughter gave me this book after my mother died. Writing about my childhood helped me to capture the good memories that I had of Mom and it helped me to realize that she will always be with me, as I will always be in the hearts of my children.

I thought it was the perfect gift, for my daughter in-law. She has two daughters. One is 25 & the other is 12 yrs. old. I think it will make the 12 year old ask and think about her mom, when her mom was young.
