I like this book overall. It is nice to write down stories from my life and know that one day my daughter will read it and know me better when she is ready and willing. However, my only complaint is that the book seems to have a lot of references to religion such as favorite scripture or church activities. For someone who is not at all religious, it feels awkward.

this is a fantastic book. if you know a mother who is going through a rough time, this is a great way for her to share her life with her family and friends. i have terminal cancer, and have bought this book for several other women who are going through treatment. everyone thinks this is a great idea.

My sister had told me about this book that she had just got. She kept telling me more and more about it that it got me very curious. Just got it yesterday and have to say that it is even BETTER then I had even hoped for. A Mother's Legacy is a book that you write down all of your life stories. It is written so that the book asks your questions. ie "what is your favorite memory of Christmas and your favorite Christmas song?" This is a book I wish my mother and grandmother had, so that I could know more about their lives. If you have children this is a WONDERFUL book to get for yourself to pass on to your children. Or I have been thinking bout buying many and giving it to women I know for Christmas gifts. Another great idea would be to give this as a baby shower gift.
I rated this only 5 stars but if I could I would have given it 10 stars. A wonderful Book!

This is an awesome book! I researched many of the books out there before buying this series for my husband, my mom, and myself to fill out for my son. This was a great pick and a great deal! Of course, you're going to find that some of the questions may not apply to you but overall it is an awesome book that allows you to share your life with your child.

Having lost my mother at age five, I value all of her written mementos (my baby books, her journals) so so very much. They mean so much to me that I make sure to leave as much in writing for my children as I can so they will always know how much I love them and how much they have changed my life. This book is perfect for me because it allows me to be creative and write about myself in a way that my children will love and appreciate. I've since purchased this book for my best friend and aunt.

The book is lovely, the titles revelant, my only complaint is the print is so light I can barely read it and I know my mother-in-law will have an ever harder time reading the print.

Having lost my mother several years ago, I can attest to the value of a mother's written legacy to her children. Her hand written journals and poetry are precious to me now. Having these in her own hand writing rather than on a typed page makes them so much more personal and special. This book is a great tool to inspire someone unaccustomed to writing or journaling as it prompts thinking and gives direction in what to write by the questions it asks. Have a few on hand to give as baby shower gifts so the new mother can begin recording early events. Would make a great gift to give a grandmother as well.

It is a wonderful way to leave some of your life's moments for your children. It brings back memories you had forgotten and brings a smile to your face on lots of them. I'd recommend it for anyone who wants something personal to give their children. Mine loved it.

My daughter gave me this book after my mother died. Writing about my childhood helped me to capture the good memories that I had of Mom and it helped me to realize that she will always be with me, as I will always be in the hearts of my children.

I ordered this book for my mom, and recieved it today. I read all the questions, and it's really pretty neat. But now I'm contemplating whether or not to give it to her for no apparent reason or to give it to my sister for her birthday. I think I might have to order about 5 more of these so I can send them to all the extraordinary women in my life. :) I would definatly say this is a great buy as a gift!
