Sharing a page I did of my parents a while ago. I sat down with both of them and asked them questions one night and then typed their answers out to print and tuck away in the pocket on this layout - I really love this method of journaling (Q&A's). I learned al lot about their courtship and early years of marriage that I wouldn't have known unless I had taken the time to ask. I also enjoyed hearing their answers. Sometimes your parents share a little too much information when they think you're old enough to hear it though.
I was thinking in honor of Mother's day I would interview my mom over the weekend about motherhood and do a layout sometime next week with the answers. I've included some of the questions I'll be asking...
Q&A
1. How did you feel when you found out you were going to be a mother for the first time?
2. How many children have you had? What are their names, birthdays, birthplaces?
3. Were there any unique circumstances surrounding their births?
4. Why did you give them the names you did?
5. What are some of the funniest moments (things said or did) you can remember about your children?
6. Do you remember anything your children did when they were small that surprised or amazed you?
7. What are some of the blessings you have received from raising your children?
8. What did you find most rewarding about raising a family?
9. What was the most difficult thing about raising a family?
10. What advice would you give to your children about being a parent?
11. If you had it to do all over again, how would you change the way you raised your family?
Have a great Mother's Day weekend!
This is a great idea set up to make a priceless page. Thanks for sharing this with all of us L! I hope you have a great day honey ^_^
