Sharing Stories, Making Memories: A Journal for Grandparents and Grandchildren

I think grandparents are a huge blessing. From everyday interactions, to special times and gifts, to the sharing of family values, grandparents make a huge difference in the lives of their children and grandchildren.

So many grandparents and grandchildren are separated by distance these days and have less family time and I want to help foster close bonds between them. The truth is that even when grandparents are super close to their grandchildren, the age gap can prevent from sharing personal stories and getting to know each other in a deeper way. I am so excited for this book to help bridge the age gap by providing a journal where stories are shared between the generations.

A Grandparents Memory Book For Them To Do Together

I know from experience, when your grandparents are gone, there are often things you wish you could ask them. Stories you wish you could remember better. This guided journal for grandparents and grandchildren helps foster that exchange, creates new memories, and provides a great family keepsake.

I just got the proof copy so I let my mom and son open it together and it was such a nice surprise for all of us. I knew what was in the box, of course, and my son is crafty he had guessed too but it was a total surprise for my mom.

This Grandparents Book Of Shared Memories Makes The Best Gift For Grandparents

The Sharing Stories, Making Memories books make wonderful gifts for grandparents. I felt really proud to be able to share the grandparents journal with my mom and son. My own grandparents inspired me so much! I wish I could have the pleasure of filling out the writing prompts with my grandparents and sharing our stories and making more memories together. My children have begun to fill out their journals with their grandparents! I am got each of their grandparents two copies as gifts so they can have one to share with each of their grandchildren.

“The ten chapters in the book focus on topics such as All About Us, My Favorite Things, Our Family & Traditions, Childhood, School Days, and more, all of which grandparents and grandchildren can fill out together or separately and share the results with each other, thereby passing on traditions, family history, and an appreciation for each other’s knowledge and experience. Completing the activities will not only allow grandparents and grandchildren to create new memories (as well as reminisce about days gone by), but will also produce a family keepsake that will be cherished for generations to come.”  Monica Storch, Editor of Macaroni Kid Manhattan East Side
