I think they can provide an important link between generations

We received your books all well and fine and I am excited to be able to wrap them for presents.  On the whole, I found the books excellent quality, the questions well thought out and fun and a good prompt to get people thinking!  I will definitely be telling other people about them as I think they can provide an important link between generations.

Thank you so much for the beautiful book (Personalised Cover Comment)

Thank you so much for the beautiful book…You did a wonderful job - there wasn’t a dry eye in the house on Mother’s Day!  Mum is now looking forward to taking her time completing it, once she can stop taking it out of the box to look at the cover!

My grateful thanks once again for the speedy delivery and the excellent job you’ve done.

I think it’s a beautiful idea!

Thank you very much for the book which arrived by 12 noon today.  I was absolutely amazed.  I thought delivery from Amazon was good but that was unbelievable…  I think it’s a beautiful idea.  I’ll be giving it to my mother for Mother’s Day…  I’m sure she’ll really enjoy completing it.  I’ve always wanted to do something like this for my own children and granddaughter so this will spur me on.

I intend to buy a book once a month for my family and hand them out as Christmas presents…

 Thank you once again.

…Grandparents’ Memories book…it’s just lovely…

I just wanted to write to say how happy I was today when I received the Grandparents Memories book (which I am giving to my parents), its just lovely, I have just placed an order for a grandmothers Memories book as I think it would be lovely for my nan to write down her memories of her time during the war when times were much more difficult. 

I have lost 2 grandparents this year (my mums mum and my dads dad) and by having these two books it will ensure my son has some wonderfully precious memories which I’m sure he will treasure once he gets much older (he is only 2).

Thank you so much and I will be sure to recommend your wonderful books to my friends.

Thank you

Thank you, thank you and thank you very much for sending the beautiful memories book for my Mum and Dad.  It is even better than I imagined.  I have shown it to a number of my friends and they are now thinking whom they can buy one for!  Thank you also for pushing it through so quickly, it is very much appreciated.  I was out when the postman came so I had to pick it up, I didn’t know what I was picking up and was very excited when I realised what it was!  The extras were a lovely touch too,  I am now excited spending quality time with my Mum and Dad filling it in with them.

Thank you.

My sister loves her Memories book

My sister has received her Memories book and loves it.

She said it made her cry before she’s even filled any of it in.  Also she was thrilled with the archive pen.

So many thanks again.

I have to say I was absolutely thrilled with the books.  You’ve done a lovely job with the photographs and the range of questions is amazing.  Such a personal gift.  I can’t wait to give them to my parents …  Thank you so much for doing such a lovely job and so quickly.

The mummy diaries

The bond between a mother and her child is an extraordinary one. But what happens when that bond is broken by the premature death of the mother? Ground-breaking three-part series The Mummy Diaries follows five ordinary families who face the unthinkable – a life without Mum.

It’s a wonderful although heartbreaking series and I’m really proud that my Little Boxes of Big Thoughts are used during the process to help some of the mothers write down their thoughts to leave for their children. 

Here’s a quote from Dawn Hughes, one of the mum’s featured:

“There are these cards she gives you to fill in,’ says Dawn. ‘”I love you because…”, “When I’m not with you I miss you because…” You know, if you’re not here, that physical side that tells your kids you love them disappears. You can’t hug them. The memory boxes are a way of passing on your love. It’s an opportunity, as hard as it sounds.” 

And, as stated on the Channel 4 website, ‘it will be a unique and permanent reminder for your child that you and they share a secure and loving relationship, no matter what.’

Of course, our Little Boxes of Big Thoughts can be used by anyone to create meaningful memories of important relationships. I created them initially to make sure my mum and dad knew how much I loved them, but they are just as suitable for partners, friends and children - imagine how precious they could be to a teenager going through those ‘difficult’ years….
