BabyLounge.com gives 5 pacifiers to For My Daughter...

Having memories of the past is a beautiful gift that we all cherish. A famous author once said "Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things" - Cicero, De Oratore. This journal and scrapbook is a beautiful way for first time Grandmothers to pass on her treasures as a new Mother to her expectant daughter. How many times have we asked our Mothers, "what was it like giving birth to me?" or "what kind of baby was I?" Each page of this lovely journal has a one line heading, and then an entire page for the Grandma to write about her experience. The first section is dedicated to the present and gives Grandma an opportunity to talk about your relationship now. Some of the answers you'll be anxious to read are to questions like, " I love you so much because...", "Being your mother has been...", and "When you first told me you were going to have a baby, I thought..." Then you go down Memory Lane and get to learn all about Grandma's pregnancy: the birth and details about what you were like as a baby. There are designated spots for photos, and at the end of the journal there are a few pages to detail special family traditions, family stories, and your family tree. I can't think of a better gift to give my daughter when she becomes a mother, and I can't think of a better gift that I would have liked to receive from my mother. This journal is truly a unique gift to give and receive.
