Who Can Use a Time Capsule? – Parents

Although it is a morbid thought, the truth is we are all going to die someday. That is the bad news. The good news is, we all have a chance to leave a legacy to our friends, family, and children. We can leave a legacy in a tangible way with a time capsule.

Do not wait until you are the parent who has to send your child off to college, only to notice the adult size shoes and clothes you pull out of the suitcase, as you help him or her unpack for their new life adventure. Leave memories in a lasting way, with the use of a time capsule. A time capsule is more than just social media, saving photos on Facebook, or posting your Throw Back Thursday pictures. A time capsule is about collecting the memorabilia that will not keep online, or in a scrapbook, or in an old box where mice and moths can destroy your precious memories. Let’s discuss time capsule ideas for parents.

A Celebration of Life

Don’t wait until the end, when most people have a “celebration of life” at a funeral. Start today and save those tangible memorabilia, souvenirs, and keepsakes in a decorative Baby Time Capsule from http://www.timecapsule.com. Keep special items, in a time capsule, about everyday life and what matters most – your children and family memories together. When parents make a time capsule with their children, it helps them feel a sense of connectedness on a deeper level.

You are not just your child’s “mom” or “dad.” Use a time capsule to explain to your grown child, about who all you really are, as your child opens their time capsule at their high-school graduation or as you leave their dorm room at college, and he or she starts a new life.

You are a “mom” or “dad” who has:

• saved their childhood pictures drawn
• saved their proud moments of finally nailing the sound on their band instrument, in an audio recording
• been the one who has saved their sweet 16 napkin from her Birthday party
• been the one who still has the key to his or her first car
• been the one who has their best years of Report Cards saved
• saved their journal or diary, to remind him or her what life was like as a young teenager
• saved their favorite childhood toy
• saved their most embarrassing or funny videos
• continued to make their favorite recipes holiday after holiday
• saved their sentimental baby blanket
• saved every day timer planner (each year of their life) of the many scheduled events, you have taken them to. (How do you have all this energy?)

The countless list goes on, as I am sure you are now thinking of the many ways you have been there for your children. Remind them of how much you love them with a decorative Baby Time Capsule to give them at their graduation, or whenever you choose to have them open it. What a day that will be as he or she is able to relive life the year they were born, or the first few years of their lives. Help your child truly understand how you contributed to their world. From the tiny baby feel of size 3, to the adult feet of size 13, there are many memories with tangible objects involved that we all do not want to let go or lose. Capture and preserve them in a lasting gift of the Baby Time Capsule. It is when you have to leave your child at college that your child’s life really flashed before your eyes. Get a time capsule to slow down this time and remember it. That time capsule now is not just a price, it is worth so much more. Priceless, as you freeze that moment in time, in a time capsule. Reminisce over the items in the time capsule, as you feel those emotions of empty nest syndrome come upon you. The time capsule helps you connect, no matter how far apart you are. Pass on the legacy from your family, of what matters most, treasured memories.

Ok, so you are getting ready for a fun-filled day with you good friends and family. You are looking for those cute, memorable, baby shower theme ideas. Make your baby shower last into the future….even your child’s future. What else can you do, besides play games at the baby shower?

How to set up a Time Capsule Baby Shower Theme:

A baby time capsule is a great idea to help your child look back later in life, after they open it, to get a precious glimpse into what life was like when they were a child. This can be a real emotional and laughter filled experience once the time capsule is opened, like at his or her 18th or 21st birthday.

Have each guest coming to the baby shower, fill out a “Message to the Future” letter of their hopes and predictions for the future for the child being celebrated at the baby shower. Life and time changes fast, and we all get busy as the years go by, so capture this moment at your baby shower, to save those special items for your child in a baby time capsule.

Ask your guests to each bring something small to add to the time capsule. Some suggestions include:

– Baby shoes
– Security blanket
– Book
– Newspaper of the year of their birth
– Personal letters
– Etc.

History is important to all of us, even though I did not enjoy my history classes in school. Now that I look back, I wish I kept more from my history and paid attention more to what I was reading in class. We can all learn from our history. We all have a curiosity about where we came from and what happened when we were younger. That is why most people like to look at and share photographs to family and friends. Photographs are a way to tell history, to tell stories, to tell about your character and upbringing.

A time capsule can help describe history, the story, and your character or personality with tangible, important, and memorable items kept inside. Make sure you label each photo you put inside the time capsule and put dates on them, so you know those details years later.

What a fun day this will be for you and your child. What a fun day it will be again, later when you open the time capsule at another party, when your child is all grown up.
