Family Memory Journal

A family memory journal is a fun and easy way to preserve family memories. A few years ago I was sorting through a pile of unused journals (many given to me as a gift!) And tried to come up with a way to use them well.

A day after a family gathering, I sat down and wrote a short description of the meeting in one of the unused journals. I wrote, where we held the meeting, we were celebrating the occasion, the names of people who had taken part, andnothing of the day stood out in my memory. I did this for the next family reunion, and then simply put the magazine in a drawer somewhere.

It does not have such a large deal of the time, but probably one or more years later, I seem to put the magazine back and looked at the entries I had made. It was really fun reading them again. I had already forgotten some of the things that had happened, or thoughts that I had at the time, luckily I hadTo write down thoughts.

I have really forgetful about writing in my family memory journal, but in the last few years, probably chronicled two or three family events a year. If you think about in 25 years, the Journal is full of family memories.

Family magazines are a good thing to pass to your children and grandchildren. At the time they do not really care what's going on, but someday they will appreciate some recalledher childhood memories.

In the past year or so I got really into scrapbooking. I just thought that my memory magazine a great resource for my scrapbooking projects will be. Sometimes it takes months to create your photos ready and pages. At this point you can use all the memories you had with them, to forget. If you have your family memory journal, you can use it to add journaling your scrapbook pages with your mind as clear as if you had takenthe pictures yesterday.

Do not let time pass you by and let the special family moments away from you. Sometimes an event can be as routine as "another family birthday party" could be a great memory later in life to make. Especially when older relatives pass the start, it's special memories of the times they were involved in the family get-togethers. One day, if you know that are elderly, your youngest family members will enjoy reading his upper-and great-grandparents.
