Before I had kids I saw an idea that really struck me...the idea was to set up an email for your kids and email them things to remember and give them the password when they become an appropriate age. I put a modern day technological twist on it...
First off, I started by creating an email that is unique to them. My firstborn has something to do with the Marine Corps because her Daddy joined the military when I was pregnant with her. I will, like the article I read suggested, keep the password from her until she's old enough to use it.
Then, I set up Facebook accounts for each of my children around the time of their birth and again, I will keep those passwords until they are old enough to access them. But when they do, they will have an instant timeline of their life and for the most part, they will see what happened on exactly the day that it happened.
Because you see, now I can tag them in statuses, pictures and whatever else that Facebook comes up with in the next several years. They have also been added to a secret family group that only our immediate family and a select group of very close friends, that we call family, are in.
This busy momma likes to fondly remember all the adventures we've had together and I hope this helps you too!
