Scrap booking your baby's first year is a task full of good intentions, but one often unfulfilled. I know we mean to write down all those cute milestones as they happen, but there you find yourself, staring at a blank page, wondering when your little bambino first smiled.
Relax. Though some won't admit it, all of us have given our best guess.
One simple way of making your baby's first year scrap book a memorable one is collecting news headlines. We have all seen the links to 'what was the number one song the year you were born,' and the like. Instead, we can collect the important information for our little ones.
Some ideas to get the ball rolling include Oscar winners, SuperBowl and World Series Champions, major world events such as presidential elections, environmental disasters, and gas prices. And yes, the number one song.
One small piece of advice: Though it is possible to go back after your child celebrates their first birthday, and collect such headlines, it is SO MUCH EASIER to collect them throughout the year. I usually read online, so I copy and paste, then send an email to myself. Easy, and worth it.
And one day, my children will read all about those news worthy moments in the year they entered this world. And they'll probably ask me then, what this ancient thing is that we called a newspaper.
