Grandma, Tell Me Your Memories

This is a great gift for any grandmother you know!

Absolutely love this! I bought just about every kind I could for each of my daughters grandparents, and for myself as well. It is going to be something for my daughter to treasure as she grows up and family members slowly pass. I wish I had this with relatives that are already gone. If you are all about your child knowing their relatives and their lives when younger even. Order this now you won’t regret it! Did i mention the price is so cheap compared to the stories your child will get to read about their loved ones!? I will add it’s also extremely easy for the person that is writing in it. It has one question per day so it’s not overwhelming. It also helps you look back on good memories!!

When I was younger, I gave these books to my Grandmother, a Mom, Tell Me Your Memories to my mother and the Dad, Tell Me Your Memories to my Dad. The information they wrote in our family history and I love reading them. I am now filling books out for each of my 5 granddaughters.

It’s very nice to share have grandma share her memories.

(review written by Nick's wife) I came across these memory books in a parenting magazine and loved the idea of having my children's grandparents fill them out. I even bought some for my grandparents to fill out for me. After searching through everything Amazon has to offer, I ended up purchasing a variety of books. I bought Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Tell Me Your Memories. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I really didn't think they would all be the same with a different cover page as they are. I was really disappointed in the size of the books. They are 4" x 5.5" with a 1" spiral binding. Each is about 1" thick. It is laid out for a full calendar year - each day having a different question or memory for the person do write about. The pages have a question at the top and are blank (no lines) below. The other books I decided to purchase are: A Grandparent's Legacy and Memories for My Grandchild. A Grandparent's Legacy is laid out month-by-month with topics to discuss. The book measures 8" x 5" with a nice covered spiral binding and is about .75" thick. Each page has topics to discuss and lines for writing. Memories for My Grandchild has the most flexible layout - meaning there is no guide for filling things out at a certain time. It is also the largest book, measuring about 8" x 10" and just less than 1" thick. It has a covered spiral binding. This is the only book with a pocket in the back to drop in any special items and a pull-out page to fill in the family tree. The pages in this book are lined as well. The books all cover similar questions and memories. I haven't gone page-by-page to compare, but have been pleased with what I've seen so far. Since the books are so similar, I'm basing my overall opinion on the appearance. My favorite would have to be A Grandparent's Legacy.

I purchased this book for my former mother in law. The kids and I couldn't agree on a gift so we agreed that they chose one without my vote and I chose one without their vote. This was my choice. I wanted something that their grandmother could share with them for years to come. We gave it to her as a family gift and she loves it. It ask fun questions about her past. I am sure there are questions she may chose not to answer or may not have an answer to but it will be fun for her to share with her grandkids when the book is finished. She liked it so much and now the kids are excited to see what she wrote in it, that we all agree we will get the Grandpa version for Father's Day to give to Grandpa

My grandmother passed away the end of May (2016) and I had purchased a book like this for her a few years back. Shortly after, she had a stroke, and wasn't able to write very well. When she got sick, my mother gave me this book back, and many of the pages were left blank. I feel like there are so many memories that are now gone, questions I will never have answers for. I am determined to prevent that from happening again and purchased a book for my parents, step parents, my in-laws, and my husband and I. I am hoping to have them filled out entirely so my children will have a keepsake for after we are gone. All the books (grandpa, grandma, mother, father, etc.) are the same - 365 pages of the same questions - however questions you might never think of asking a loved one. I am excited to get the books finished and look forward to having my boys read them when they are older.

3rd purchase of this type of book, the Mom book was my first and the Dad book was my second. What a great way to find out more about your beloved family that using this book. My Mom had the best time filling in each page. Some of the questions made her laugh, other questions made her cry. it was all so very touching. She really enjoyed it. Now and then I pull it out and go over some of the questions with her just to talk about the answer she wrote and to hear the story first hand. The Dad and Grama books I used in a different way, and I did the interviewing. I asked the questions and filled in the answers. That was fun. These are valuable keepsakes that I will treasure forever...for my own reading pleasure and to share with siblings, nephews, and other family members.

This book went down really well as a Christmas gift for a friend. She really likes it and thinks what a good idea it is for leaving memories for your children. There is so much information to be filed in and will make very interesting reading for generations to come.

Full of Americanisms but useful none the less

Not the greatest quality... (The cover has already ripped halfway off from travel), but I definitely don't regret this purchase! My grandma is 88 years old and so she grew up in a time that was so much different from the world I grew up in! (I'm 26) As I read through her experiences and memories of the past, I'm in awe of how quickly the world has changed!! I look forward to sharing this with my own daughters some day :)

Great book that lead to wonderful discussions with my grandchildren.
