I received this book as a gift and it is wonderful. The book is a memory book. It has questions and space for the mom to fill in life events for her child. It covers basic questions such as where the mother was born, grandmother and grandfather's names, things that were happening in the country when the mother was born etc. It also goes deeper and helps the mother record memories from her life growing up and then during the time of her child. I particularly liked it because I'm a single mom and adopted my daughter and this book works well for us. Some "baby books" don't "fit" our family. This one does. I will fill it out as life goes by and someday have a hopefully treasured keepsake for my daughter. Nice job of having Thomas Kinkade pictures sprinkled throughout the book.

I bought this book for my mother as a birthday present, and we both love it. It was a wonderful way for me to learn things about her I would have never even thought of to ask. It contains Kinkade paintings in every chapter as well as other beautiful pictures. The book consists of fill in the blank questions (for mom), touching on many different subjects ranging from her childhood memories, and continuing throughout her life experiences. This is deffinately a keep-sake which I will have to hold onto the rest of my life and to show to my future children.

I was VERY disapointed to see that this book was so religious. EVERY page related to some sort of religious conversation. While I am Christian, I did not buy this book looking to tell my child about my prayer or beliefs. It is very misleading and now I have to pay the return shipping costs for this, which I am not happy about. I also purchased the Father's Memories book by the same author and was also VERY, VERY disapointed. DO NOT buy unless you are looking for a book to discuss your CHRISTIAN beliefs... if that IS what you are looking for, then this would be a good book.

Because I wanted to give my two children a book of memories for Christmas, I looked at a number of ones found in various bookstores and online. A Mother's Memories to Her Child was the one that covered the topics that I was most interested in sharing with my children, which included my faith and my heritage from my parents. I also wanted to be able to personalize the book for each of my children, which I was able to do with this book (I actually completed two separate books -- one for each of them). My only objection to the book is that it doesn't cover a mother's college education or profession, which are important parts of my life, but I just added that part on my own. Also since I am a widow, I had to make some minor changes to the sections about their father (it would require major revisions for someone who is divorced). Overall though, it is a beautiful book that I enjoyed creating for my children.

This is a great series. My wife and I have completed the Mother and Father books and we have provided the grandparent books to each respectively. Each book in the series provides you with a number of topic headings covering all facets of your life. You fill out your history in your own words. What a great thing to give your child/grandchild. I don't typically take the time to review books. However, this series was worth the time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

This is the first item I recieved from Amazon that I was completely disappointed in. I purchased 2 of these items which were sold by 2 different sellers but shipped together from Amazon. The one labeled 'acceptable' was in great condtion. The one labeled 'good' was in terrrible condition. I couldn't believe someone would even consider giving it away much less selling it. The book had something spilt all over it and was warped from it. Also it was half filled out. I was shocked that Amazon would even ship such an item to a buyer. I don't know if the item was damaged before reaching amazon or after. Still I am very disappointed in Amazon for sending out such an item. Do they not have regulations for items sold? It not maybe they should consider it. On the other hand I love these books. My Grand mother gave me one years ago and she recently passed. The book is now one of my prized possessions. I wanted to get 2 for my twin sons. I do plan on looking into purchasing another one as one of the others is completely unusable.

This takes time and much thought on life, spirituality and what has made us the people we have become. But, how precious to let our children know our deepest thoughts, prayers and how much we love them forever!

This is a beautiful book with amazing illustrations. It is an ideal gift to give to my daughter. I hope she will treasure it

I try to think of stories to tell my son and this book helps me with this. I can record memories of growing up and about my beliefs. It is definitely a treasure to hand down.

I have one of these for my grandchildren. I thought it would be nice for their mothers' to fill one out as well. The book has questions I wish I would've asked in the past.
