A few years ago, as the babies were really starting to test
their mobility and my patience, and the daily pictures and videos dwindled from hundreds to two, I decided to start scrapbooking.
After I realized that would never happen, I began a memory
jar. I bought months-of-the-year tablets in a cutesy package complete with tiny themed
Post Its, on clearance of course, and regularly jotted down the things they did and said
in the amount of time it took to change a diaper. Awesome. Pop it in a jar and tighten the lid and the good-mommy points just pile up! Plus it's nearly water proof when the kids take it for a bath.
Now I’m working on our third jar, and the memories have yet to make
it into a glossy scrap book with themed pages, but at least I don’t feel guilty about not recording
every moment. And I know it’s going to make a great New Year’s Eve tradition
when they are old enough to open the jars and unfold the little pieces of paper
and learn all about themselves, from first step to first public
curse word.
