Product Review:  Mother Daughter Letter Book (Pre-Teen+)

connecting hearts & histories

Sunday, May 13, 2012.  Save the date!  Though currently on Back Order until Early March, Mother’s Day is just around the corner and the Mother Daughter Letter Book is the perfect gift. 

When I got a call from my aunt in 2002 that there was an emergency issue with my mom’s heart and she was scheduled for a bypass surgery over 1,400 miles away I started to panic.  My mom did not drink, smoke and was still in her 40s and it was so unexpected that I could possibly lose her.  I guess at 22 I just took for granted that my mom would always be around and it became a cold realization that life was too short and there was still so much I wanted to learn about her.  I am happy to report that a triple bypass and 10 years later, I still get to talk to my mom over the phone several times a week and she even text messages me now!

I want to share my life’s journey with my daughter without her having to know all the questions to ask.  I have learned to ask my mom things that are on my mind but I know there are probably a million questions that I could inquire and learn about her and I don’t want to wait until it is too late.  When I saw the Mother Daughter Letter Book through Treasured Passages, I knew it was the perfect keepsake that Brooke and I can share together as she gets older.  The book is made for the scrapbook-challenged like me who want an easy to fill in book that has activities to do, cards to store and outlines of where to put pictures.  The book has over 40 envelopes and cards that mother and daughter can fill out together or for each other.  The Question Cards have such interesting questions as ‘What’s the greatest thing a friend ever did for you?’ to ‘What’s been on your mind lately?’ and even one on what super powers would you want if you could have them.  The finished product is a keepsake history of two lives of a mother and daughter shared that can be passed down to future generations.

About the Author: Whitney Biggs wants mothers and daughters to keep their lines of communication open and share their lives with each other.  Whitney is a cancer survivor who lost her mom to cancer too soon.  Faced with the reality that her small children could grow up without knowing her, she came to believe that chronicling memories was the best gift you can give your loved ones.  What a beautiful message that shows through her keepsake books.  Check out the Treasured Passages website for her other keepsake books for friends, couples and sisters.

Psst!  Psst!  I saved the best for last for those of us with little ones who want to start doing a keepsake like this earlier in their lives!  Whitney let me know that there will be a younger child/parent version of her Treasured Passages keepsake book coming out with a target date of August 2012!  I am excited and hope to do a full review for you later this year.  Update!  The new product is out in time for the holidays 2012!  Check out my review of The Little Mailbox here!
