Tell Me Your Life Story, Mom: A Mother’s Guided Journal and Memory Keepsake Book (Tell Me Your Life Story® Series Books)

Best Christmas gift

Nice idea, but some questions are repeated

This journal has great prompts and makes for some interesting thoughts, but, it’s a soft cover book which has already curled corners. The intention is to leave it for future generations so it’s not going to be hard wearing. I will have to cover mine with clear sticky plastic to preserve it and as a result, feels like it’s lost its value. I wish it came in a hardcover. I would have been happy to pay more.

Up to now as I am still writing would like a blank page in order to extend my memories. I am aware there are some but would ĺike more. But good questions so good information about me.

The basic idea is good but for me, it didn't make any sense as it is not a guided journal for the past generation it's more a book where I write my story down more or less in solitude... which defeats the purpose in my opinion.Despite that, you can see plenty 'empty' pages to fill the book.Lastly, I bought the paperback and the pages are too fine so that you can see your writing partly on the next page and the whole book feels very flimsy. Nothing you pass down for generations... it's like a workbook, use it and dispose it.

It was just a gift that was a little bit different

This guided journal is such a thoughtful way to capture a mom’s life story in a structured but personal way. The prompts make it easy to fill out without feeling overwhelming, and they guide memories you might not have thought to write down on your own. It turns simple moments into something really meaningful over time.It feels like one of those gifts that becomes more valuable the more it’s completed. The layout is clean, the questions are heartfelt, and it creates a real keepsake that families will treasure later. Overall, it’s a sweet, intentional gift that helps preserve stories that would otherwise get lost in everyday life.

I got this for my mom, and it’s honestly such a thoughtful gift. The prompts are meaningful but easy to follow, and they really helped her open up and reflect on her life—from childhood to motherhood and everything in between. It’s not overwhelming, and it feels like a gentle conversation. Can’t wait to read through it one day and keep it as a family keepsake. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to preserve their mom’s story in her own words
