As another year comes and goes, the old adage – “babies don’t keep” – rings true. While the days may be long, the years are indeed short and one day, we’ll all look back and realize just how quickly it all goes. You can never stop time from ticking, but we have some ideas to help you preserve your family’s memories this year that you’re going to love! In 2019, let’s all resolve to do a better job of capturing memories before they’re long gone. In addition to our growth chart for kids, we have some fun ideas to help you do just this.
One of the best ways we’ve found to visually document your family’s growth is with a personalized growth chart from Birthday Keepsakes for each of your children.

With designs like princesses and a safari, and the ability to add their name and birth details, this is a keepsake you’ll be sure to love.
In addition to our growth chart for kids, you can preserve the memories this year by trying these ideas:
- Write your family’s highlights, memories, and all the funny things your children say on notecards. Save them in a jar in your home and relive the moments at the at the end of the year.
- Laminate and save some of the kids’ best artwork throughout the year in a storage box. At the end of the year, save a few to keep for the future.
- Ask your kids a series of questions on their birthday, such as, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” or, “What is your favorite book/movie/food?” Ask the same questions year after year and see how they change.
- Once your kid outgrows some of their toys, collect them in a shadowbox to make a visual memory display of the things they once loved.
- Start a family yearbook with photos, quotes, and keepsakes from the year.
