“Oh Look, It’s Me!” Now, this is a statement you want to hear your child say as he or she opens their alternative baby book. Their alternative is a decorative baby time capsule.

So many people have their own websites, or use the internet today and see other people’s websites. A baby time capsule is like your child’s “About me” page if their life was a website.

Of course you want to include all the memorabilia, nostalgic items (like baby’s first pacifier, or favorite toy) in the baby time capsule, but what else makes up who he or she is? As life gets busier, it is hard to have time to make a special scrapbook or keep track of all the details of your newborn child. Many people can barely keep up with the baby book of their first child, let alone their fourth or fifth. Comment below if you can relate.

Each child is special, and you do not want one child to feel more loves or special compared to the other, years later when one child has more photos or information kept, compared to their sister or brother. There is a lot of guilt and shame that can come with keeping up with your baby’s milestones, so that is why we do what we do and sell an alternative – introducing the baby time capsule.

The baby time capsule will leave you with no guilt and it is a special keepsake that will last and treasure memories forever.

Just toss your baby’s favorite and sentimental items in the decorative tin, and fill out sample questions like the following in your baby’s profile book included.

Live a live without Regrets – Take time to jot down a few sentences at the end of each day about your baby. Don’t wait until your child is now 20 and comes to ask you what he or she was like as a baby. Preserve these precious moments and little tidbits of the first year of their life, in a baby time capsule.

What does it mean to you to be independent, or to be free? We want to wish you a Happy Fourth of July by taking you back and reminiscing about your times of freedom. Celebrate life and how far you have come. This is what a time capsule is all about. Celebrating life or a specific milestone moment that changed your life or helped you feel more free, or independent.

Let’s reminisce. Remember when:

1. You first learned to walk.
2. The first time chose your own clothes to wear.
3. The first time you took your training wheels off your bike.
4. The first time you took a drink of any pop (soda for those in the south).
5. You held your first car keys to drive.
6. You went on your first date.
7. The first time you went ice skating
8. The first time you kissed a girl or boy
9. The first child you had
10. The first child you gave away in marriage or the day your first child went off to college.

Sometimes our firsts do not seem like freedom. Sometimes freedom or independence can seem hard. It is all a matter of perspective. Sometimes you do not feel the sense of freedom, until years later and then realize it was for the better. It is then, when you realize this that you have the true feeling of what “independence” is.

Even though we may experience several times of independence while growing up, we are never too far away from loved one’s hearts and minds. Make sure you spend this fourth of July building milestone moments and have fun watching each other grow and become more independent. Make it a family event this holiday by participating in an activity you will never forget.

Make a Fourth of July Time Capsule to Reflect on one year on July 4, 2015.

Reminisce or think about what exactly has changed in your life since last year’s Fourth of July? Many times life goes by so fast, that we often forget the special and regular days in between each year. This time capsule is an activity is something you do to look back and say, “Oh that is really cool that we have this.”

Favorite 4th of July Activity to Do with your Kids – Time Capsule

Put things that mean something to your family from the year. Create a time capsule quiz about your favorite sport, movie, song, food, restaurant, tv show, shoe size or anything that has special meaning in your life this year. Personalize the quiz. Also create a family scavenger hunt for your family to do throughout the 4th of July day, before watching the fireworks together in the evening as a celebration wrap-up of your fun-filled and memorable day together. Make sure to take pictures throughout your day, and collect a few other photos from your year so far to put in your time capsule. Have fun and save your funny or meaningful family quotes in the time capsule on slips of paper to read a year later, or whenever you choose to open the time capsule. This is such a great family activity to bond you all closer, especially if one of your children are about to leave for college or become more independent.

The Family Scavenger Hunt – Stroll Down Memory Lane

Make the Fourth of July Time Capsule activity fun, by using a scavenger hunt for the kids and adults to find items hidden in your town and house, to collect and put in your time capsule. What a fun way to experience the past year all over together. Have one item with a clue that leads to the next. For example, set it up so you have to visit the houses of several people or friends you already visited this past year for special events, birthday parties, etc to collect or find an item to put in the time capsule. I remember doing fun things like this in our youth group and it was a blast.

She walked in the room with a present wrapped with baby feet stickers on it, personally decorated with her heart. This is for you mom. “But it is not my birthday,” she said.

She opened the box and an ultrasound picture was inside. She began to scream with excitement and pure joy. Inside, there was also a note saying, “Keep this in case dad forgets to bring it to your house.” It was a pacifier.

It can be some of the most exciting news for many people. “You are going to be a grandparent.” Announcing you are pregnant is big news and worth thinking about how you will tell those you love. It is a very meaningful, milestone moment in a parent’s life, especially if it is their first child.

I cannot tell you how I plan to announce to my husband we are pregnant, or he would find out, since he is a loyal fan who reads my blogs. Sorry honey. You will have to wait a while for the big reveal blog. We are working on that.

One of the Most Unique Ways to Tell Someone You are Pregnant

Not only is this a milestone moment in a mother and father’s life, it is a milestone moment when the baby is born. There is a very special way to announce you are pregnant using a decorative Baby Time Capsule. Wrap the outside of the Time Capsule so you cannot read it. Then fill it up with all kinds of small items you want to give the baby to keep forever, to open years later again by that child when they are an adult. Give the wrapped time capsule to your husband or the daddy to open.

Then, have him un-wrap the outside of the tin or time capsule to read what it is. How special is this gift, which keeps on giving years later, as you continue to save those milestone moment items for this baby in the time capsule. Relive this moment years later with a special time capsule opening party, to reminisce this day all over again.
