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.

YOUR BABY

Use this section if you are currently pregnant and getting ready to meet your baby, or if your baby has just been born in the last 2-3 weeks.

A LOVE LETTER TO MY UNBORN CHILD ❤️

Write a letter to your new baby. Here are some ideas of things you might like to include. (It can be as long or as short as you like.)

How does it feel knowing that your baby will be arriving soon, and you will get to meet this new little person you love so much already? Describe your pregnancy journey and your journey to getting pregnant. Have you had any surprises (good or bad)? If there was one thing you could wish for your child, what would it be? What do you imagine for your child’s future? Why are beautiful photos of this time in your life important to you? What will they help you remember? If you had one piece of wisdom your child could carry with them throughout their own life and share with their children, what would it be? What would you like your baby to know about YOU (their beautiful mama!)?

YOUR CHILDREN

Use this section if you have other children, including a baby more than 3 weeks old. Just fill out whichever parts 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 - things that fill up their days now, but in 10 years time might feel a bit like a hazy memory. 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 how similar they are to yourself - or how different. Tell them what you love doing together. Tell them how much their bedtime cuddles mean, or how it makes you feel when they wrap their arms around you and say they love you. Tell them what you love about watching them with their younger siblings. What sort of older 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?

Now for their letter

Here are some ideas again. Tell them what you admire most about them. Write about their interests and the things they love to do - things that fill up their days now, but in 10 years time might feel a bit like a hazy memory. Tell them how it felt having a second child. You already knew a bit about being a parent, but maybe the experience the second time around was quite different? Tell them how similar they are to you - or how different. Tell them what you love doing together. Tell them how much their bedtime cuddles mean, or how it makes you feel when they wrap their arms around you and say they love you. Tell them what you love about watching them with their siblings. Tell them what they've taught you. Tell them how much more wonderful your life is from having them in it.

THIRD CHILD

Tell them how similar they are to you - or how different. Tell them what you love doing together. Tell them how much their bedtime cuddles mean, or how it makes you feel when they wrap their arms around you and say they love you. Tell them what you love about watching them with their siblings.

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?
