Tell us the basic stats of your family - the names, ages, and genders

Now we really want to get you thinking. You don't need to be an amazing writer or have the perfect words - that's totally not the point. We just want to get you thinking about your wonderful family and how unique they are.

Nothing you write here will be shared publicly. If we want to include any of your thoughts in the book or anywhere else, we will get specific approval from you before sharing. Most of all, these questions are for YOU! ❤️

YOUR CHILDREN

Just fill out whichever parts of this section are relevant for your family.

FIRST CHILD

Let's start with your oldest child - the one who made you a parent. If you had to describe them in 3 words, what would they be?

In this box, write a letter to your oldest child. Here are some ideas of things you might like to include. (It can be as long or as short as you like - this is your family and your relationship. 😊)

Here are a few ideas. Tell them what you admire most about them. Write about their interests and the things they love to do, and how much you admire their passion for those things. Tell them how it felt when you got to hold them in your arms for the first time - what you'd been dreaming of and hoping for while you were pregnant, and how it has felt watching those dreams unfold over the years since they were born. Tell them what you love about seeing them grow into a young adult. Tell them how similar they are to yourself - or how different. Tell them what you love doing together. Tell them what you love about watching them with their siblings. What sort of brother or sister are they? Tell them what they've taught you. Tell them how much more wonderful your life is from having them in it.

SECOND CHILD

Now it's time for your second child (if you have one). Do they follow the typical trend of being a second child by being extra loud, extra demanding, and just a tiny bit crazy? 😆🤪 If you had to describe them in 3 words, what would they be?

YOUR FAMILY

If you have two parents in your family, write a letter to the other parent.

Out of all the people in the world, what made you choose them to venture on this parenting journey with? How has being a parent changed your relationship? What do you love most about them? What most melts your heart about watching them with your children?

Now it's their turn to write something about you! They can use the tips above to write a letter to you too.

Finally, write a message to your family as a whole.

What do you love most about the way you all fit together? What do you love doing together? If you had a perfect day to spend together, what would it involve? If you had a family soundtrack, what song would it be? And most importantly, what do you MOST want to remember about your family at this stage in your lives?
