Becoming a mother and raising a child is an incredible experience, but time goes by quickly even if the days seem to drag on and before you know it your youngest will be out of the house and on their own. Creating a way to hold onto the memories and experiences you have with your family is a great idea, and then you’ll have something your child can look back on and cherish forever as well.
