Kid Memory Binders

I just came across a fabulous post over at Reluctant Entertainer!

Kid Memory Binders: Organized and Easy!

I was so happy when I read this post, or maybe it’s kind of sad to say that I was happy to hear that other moms are too busy to scrapbook too!

I have had some great intentions of someday creating scrapbooks for my kids. I have the actual scrapbooks, the paper and some other fun little stuff to go in the scrapbooks all stored in an organizing tote under a bed. What I don’t have is the time to sit down and actually do the scrap-booking right now!

I also have stacks of papers, cards, pictures and special items that I have saved with the intention of, someday, getting them into a scrapbook!

This idea, with the binders and page protectors is something I can do! It does not feel too overwhelming to me, and if I want I can start with this year! I don’t have to start at the very beginning when my kids were babies, and what a perfect time to start… Jan 2010!

So, head on over to Reluctant Entertainer and read Sandy’s post:

I am a huge Dave Ramsey fan! My husband and I attended a Financial Peace University class a couple of years ago  and it was a life changing experience for us. We were headed for financial ruin, the class was an essential part of our becoming “financially smart” and helping us to change the way we managed our money.

This year, with Thanksgiving just a few days away, I have found a new appreciation for my friends and family. I (and my family) have been going through a difficult situation with one of my siblings and I have had to reach out and rely on my close friends and family, which is something I have taken for granted when things in my life are going fine.

The whole situation has helped me to “re-discover” how blessed I am to have a God who answers prayer, friends who care and a family that is filled with unconditional love.

So this Thanksgiving I have decided that I am going to tell these wonderful people just how much and what qualities I appreciate about them.

I encourage all of you this Thanksgiving to let those important people in your life know just how much they mean to you.

• Do something special for them
• Write them a letter or send a card
• Take them out to dinner
• Make a video
• Use one of my Templates below

I made up some templates so you can tell your friends and families too!
