Memory Jar

2008-09-14-sayings.jpg

This great idea from the blog Inchmark got us excited. Mama Brooke captures the funny things her children say...

 
 

by jotting them down on scraps of paper and depositing them in a jar on her desk. When she's feeling down, she reads a few quotes for quick pick-me-ups. Ingenious!

Beyond pictures, how do you capture special memories of your little ones? Tell us in the comments section.

That is a very sweet idea!

I have recorded the messages that they have left on my phone and burned them to a cd ~ I just couldn't let that little voice go!
