Time capsules are a great place to illustrate and save our spiritual and inward journey in an outward, physical way. Pass on your faith through a gift that lasts a lifetime. A time capsule can help you chronicle your introduction to faith. You can also store your questions and prayers, and then answers received, in this sacred place of the time capsule.

Give a Baby Time Capsule as a Baptism or Christening Gift

After a baby dedication or baptism, ministers can give this timeless keepsake in the form of a decorative time capsule to the proud parents. You can get a Baby Time Capsule from http://www.timecapsule.com/product/babystimecapsule/.

The guests at the baptism ceremony can each write a note to the child using the “Message to the Future” letters included. This is a perfect for a Godmother to give away as a gift, let alone a gift from the parents of the child. The baptism of a baby is a joyful celebration, as many family members gather around taking photos. Use the photos as the first sentimental mementos to save in your baby’s time capsule.

Make sure to include a souvenir or item representing something from the religious belief or church. Also make sure to include things like a newspaper from the day of the baptism or christening. This is a timeless gift, for such a memorable milestone moment in your child’s life. Preserve this part of your baby’s history in a time capsule. Then store the decorative Baby Time Capsule in the nursery, or somewhere private for his or her 18th or 21st birthday or any other birthday or special occasion.

When the time capsule is opened, it will be interesting to see what life was like the year you baby was born, how things have changed, and all the nostalgic keepsakes inside which will probably create a few laughs and tears.

Youth Pastors can Use a Time Capsule

Youth pastors can also use a time capsule for lesson about saving yourself for marriage. You could have the youth each write a letter to their future selves about who they want to marry. You could also do a lesson about treasuring their days of youth, and using this time in their life to journal about their changes, challenges, and choices they are going through at this milestone moment of being a teenager.

The youth could do a lesson about putting away their old self, as they are trying to lose weight, get off drugs, learn how to avoid negativity, or bad company they hang around, by writing these things down, then putting them in the time capsule. It would be interesting as an adult, to open the time capsule years later to see how much you have grown or changed for the better as a teenager in youth group. This may be a great activity for a few of us as adults too, now that I think about it.

What one thing do you wish you knew as a teenager, now that you are older? What do you wish your parent’s had warned you about, encouraged you to do, or shared with you as a teenager? Have the parents of the teenagers, write out “Message to the Future” letters to the youth about predictions of where they see their son or daughter in the future, giving advice, or sharing funny stories of hope, encouragement, and life as an adult.

There are many versatile uses for the time capsule. Just because it says Baby Time Capsule, does not mean you cannot buy it and collect items for your teenager now. I know you have a few spare photos of your teenager when he or she was a baby. Include those baby photos, along with a few mementos from your teenager’s life currently in the Baby Time Capsule.

Your teenager does not need to know when you purchased the time capsule. “It is the thought that counts.” After all, no matter how old your teenager is, they will always be your “baby.”So preserve your teenager’s story today, so he or she can reminisce tomorrow or years into the future. What a great Graduation gift.

The ceremony is about to begin. This will be a special wedding day and none like you have ever seen before. This family has been planning on this, since the high-school sweethearts met. As the introductory music begins, you see them one by one come down the aisle in their flowing bridesmaids dresses.

It is a family affair. It is a milestone moment day, as the girls progress in age and height as each one comes down the aisle, starting with the flower girl (the bride’s niece). Next in this time capsule line of family, comes the bride’s faithful sisters, and then finally her mother carrying the decorative and heirloom Wedding Time Capsule to set up as the center piece at the end of the aisle. Get a decorative Wedding Time Capsule with special paperwork included from http://www.timecapsule.com/product/weddingtimecapsule/.

You see, this wedding time capsule has been passed down from generation to generation as each new son or daughter in the family gets married. There are tears of joy and excitement in the audience, as you can hear a pin drop, because everyone there knows what this wedding time capsule means to the family. The audience members do not know what is more exciting: the kiss at the end of the ceremony, or the filling of the wedding time capsule during the ceremony.

What to Put in the Wedding Time Capsule

During the ceremony, similar to the popular sand vases used, the couple will read their vows to each other, and then put them in the wedding time capsule. Next, they will each share tidbits from their “Message to the Future” letters to each other, and then put them in the wedding time capsule, to be completely read 5, 10, or 20 years from now. What a momentous day that will be. There is a hush over the crowd as you hear the famous wedding march song begin. The bride walks down the aisle glowing. Her eyes catch her fiancé first, and then the infamous wedding time capsule as it sits front and center on a podium where she will share her vows and treasure them for years.

Additional Meaningful Touches to Your Ceremony

Before the wedding starts, you could even have guests sign in, by filling out advice cards or predictions about where they see the couple in the future. You could even have some guests bring in a newspaper, or other items from the day of their marriage, which represent the world at this time. When the fun-filled wedding day is over, make sure to collect other important memorabilia like the decorations, all these guest sign-in cards, and a cd of the music played at their reception, and save it in the wedding time capsule. Then years later, on an anniversary of the couple’s choosing, they could open the wedding time capsule again and relive what life was like the year of their marriage. You could even have some guests bring in a newspaper from the day of their marriage.

What do you wish you would have saved from your wedding day? Comment below.

We live in a world where anything is possible, good or bad. We never know from day to day what will happen in our lives. I was at a baby shower this past Saturday for my sister-in-law excited to be an aunt again. Then on the drive home, I passed a funeral home with a family saying their goodbye’s to someone they loved. Talk about going from one extreme of emotions to the next out of respect for someone’s loved one lost. Then, it had me thinking, we really never know when we will leave this earth after being born. How do we treasure and preserve our items to pass on to generations left? One great item to preserve is a baby hand print from the first year of our life.

Your hand is not just a hand. It is a physical representation of many things:

• A hand is used for writing cards, love notes, stories, letters, essays, filling out paperwork for kids to go to school, or for work.
• A hand is used to play beautiful music, play sports, or play the radio for some of us who are musically inclined (myself)
• A hand is used to give someone a pat on the back, shake another person’s hand you just met at work, school, business seminar, a future mentor, etc.
• A hand is a representation of many milestone moments in our lives, as we are born and first learn to grip things, first learn how to drive using our hands, get married and a ring is put on our hand, etc.
• A hand is used to bake that traditional family recipe, every holiday.
• A hand is used to accomplish tasks, save lives, build things, or make projects for work or home.
• A hand is used to tell stories (as many of us talk with our hands – guilty).
• A hand is used to help show love to others, or express other non-verbal communication. For some, who are deaf, they rely on others hands to communicate everything.



Introducing New Product: Baby’s Hand Print Kit

I am sure you can think of other important meanings or uses of the hand. So how do we save such a precious hand, before it grows up and journey’s through the many uses of it’s life? Save your baby’s hand print in a hand print kit from http://www.timecapsule.com/product/milestone-collection-babys-hand-print-kit/. Do not wait until it is too late, and your child is grown up, to wish you would have preserved their baby hand print. Get yours today.

]]> 10 Ways to Reminisce & Remember your Freedom on the 4th of July



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.

]]> A Selfie – What Represents this Time Period



A “selfie” is the latest craze word you hear everywhere thanks to cell phones enabling a special camera to take a self picture and then post it to social media to share with friends and family, instantly. A selfie is exactly what you would want to put in a time capsule, especially to represent this time period in our lives, for future generations to know what life was like when we were alive. A selfie is the ultimate time capsule. A selfie is a way of expressing emotion, that you may not have words for, similar to other fun or important photos taken in our lives.

A selfie takes photography and Yourself to a whole new level.

We all need and want to be heard, noticed, and matter in life. We are all unique, precious, and gifted individuals. Who are you? What do you like? How do you spend your time? What are your favorite places to go, things to do, or clothes to wear? What is your favorite meal? Who are your best friends? Do you really watch how you are changing and growing as a person? What important lessons have you learned? When we do not share this information with our family, friends, children, grandchildren, we are neglecting or cheating our ancestors from knowing us.

Everyone has a part in shaping the world we live in, and the direction our children will go. Be selfish and take note of who you are. Take a selfie each year, as you grow in life. Tell a story about yourself each year. Write a “Message to the Future” letter to your children now, about where you see them years from now. Your children will thank you for investing yourself and time into this milestone moment letter they will read, years later in their life. For tips on how to take great selfie pictures, check out http://www.buzzle.com/articles/tips-on-taking-a-great-selfie.html



Life is a Journey

Most people want to see progress in their lives. This is why a time capsule is important. A selfie is just one item (or several items, depending on how many selfies you take), to show this personal progress. There is no need to be famous, or to become famous before taking a selfie. A selfie helps you feel famous. You are famous to someone in your life. Please remember this. You are valuable to someone. You may not feel like it some days, but your children will definitely thank you years later, and think you are famous.

So go ahead, take that selfie. Put it in a time capsule. Get ready to open it years later and have a few laughs with your children. You could even save your selfie as a new mother and father with your baby, then take an end selfie when your child graduates high-school. What differences will you see in your before and after photos of yourselves. Then, put your photos as parents of your child, in a Baby Time Capsule, along with other memorabilia you preserved, and give it to your grown child now on their Graduation day. What a special moment this will be when he or she opens their own Baby Time Capsule to see what life was like when he or she was born or what you were like as parents.

A selfie. It just may be one of the most important pictures you have ever taken, for yourself or for someone else.

A time capsule. It just may be one of the most important projects you have ever done, for yourself or for someone else.

What is your favorite selfie you have done? Comment below or post your selfie in the comments. We want to see your selfies.

]]> How to Preserve Family Stories and Values



You don’t know what you have until it is gone. Recently I attended a funeral of a friend’s mother. It is sad, that sometimes it takes the end of our lives, to help us put our lives in perspective now. How do you preserve those memories, that come flooding back to our minds, when we look at the faces or places, important in our lives? We have photos we can put in photo albums, giving us a sense of accomplishment. When your children grow up, you as a parent want to know that they are continuing to live out your family values. There are other tangible ways to accomplish this, besides a photo album. Create a digital scrapbook, or save your valuable emails back and forth with friends and family. You can also record audio stories to remember the actual excitement, fear, frustration, happiness, or other emotions during a special event or milestone moment. You can listen to the stories over and over whenever you want, even when your loved one has passed away.



However you choose to remember your memories, the important point is that you do not lose your stories or tangible objects that go with your special memories. Let’s learn more about how to preserve family stories and values. Save your mementos in a time capsule keepsake. These sentimental items will help with the details of your stories and will create a richer moment of celebration, years later when you open your time capsule to tell your grandchildren or special someone what that time in your life was like.

So, as you family gathers around for the next holiday or get-together, make sure you spend time recording those family stories being told. Gather one object, which has important meaning, from each family member, to put in a time capsule keepsake. Treasure your family values forever, for your future generations. Don’t forget to include a family tree in your time capsule.

Do not wait till later to gather your family history stories. It may be too late, as we all get older and forget things or these valuable stories. Get children involved, and show them how much you value family, and have them include their own drawings in a time capsule. What will their own interpretation of their drawing be, years later in their lives when the time capsule is opened? Do not devalue family values. Capture them in a time capsule keepsake today. To learn more about this topic read http://www.aplaceformom.com/blog/preserve-your-familys-living-legacy-12-12-12/ or to make your own family heritage project, check out http://www.teachingwithtlc.com/2007/10/family-heritage-project.html

It’s a boy! Oh the excitement and fear that fills her heart immediately. There are so many different feelings rolling through her mind. All she knows now, is that she is exhausted and just wants to hold that bundle of joy, she just birthed. What an amazing miracle this baby is. How do you remember every minute during this milestone moment?

There are many different products to help save this special moment in a mother’s life. There are shadow boxes, memory books, keepsake kits, hand print kits, scrapbooks, etc. A unique idea, would be to use a Baby Time Capsule, so you can save the memories for years, preserve special items that may not fit into a scrapbook, then open it at a child’s 18th graduation or when they have their own children, and relive their own day of birth. What was life like the year you or your child was born?

You many not remember every little detail when you child was born, or of their first year of life. You were so busy as a new mother, trying to absorb it all in at once, learning what new sounds or baby moves mean. So, why not spend those many nights awake with the baby, writing down your every thought, feeling, and wish, or prediction about where you see your child in the future, using the “Message to the Future” letters and Baby Profile Book included in a decorative Baby Time Capsule from www.timecapsule.com.

]]> New Mom Looks – How your hair is a time capsule



I have wanted to get a new haircut lately. I get bored easily, so I have already been looking at some pictures online, in magazines, etc to find ideas of what to do with my hair. I know girls especially can relate. When you are pregnant for the first time, and about to be a parent, it can be interesting to review hairstyle books and find new mom looks that may suite you better as you start the journey of motherhood.

Anyways, did you know your own hair is a time capsule. Just pull out your old photo album and watch your photos and hair styles progress, as you flip through the pages. Which style did you like the most, in the past? Check out this website to read about how hair styles have changed in our past, at http://blog.fibond.com/hair-styles-changed-years/

Our hair is an important part of our lives. We all want to look attractive, nice, presentable, professional (if need be), and feel like we fit in with our hair. Hairstyles have changed greatly over the past centuries. Hairstyles even say a lot about our personality as we age, which is what a time capsule does to. A time capsule tells a story of who you are, or want to be, over a century or specific period of time. Also, a time capsule is a very emotional product, similar to our own hair styles, as we watch ourselves change over the years, whether in a good or bad way.



From long, short, wavy, colored, curly, straight, you may see all of these in your photo album as you skim the pages and laugh about the memories over your past years of hair styles. For others, when you cut your hair, you are changing your life or the life of someone else. What a milestone moment that is. For example, when some of you have your long hair cut for great programs like “Locks of Love.” This is a great cause to give back to others who may have lost their hair due to cancer. Thank you to any of you who have given sacrificially to this beautiful ministry. This is also what a time capsule is all about, giving back to your children, or other family members, messages of hope, stories of things you have done in the past, to pass on to them important lessons of advice of what to do or not do, in life.

Will you take the time to write down these lessons, along with putting your favorite photos of that time in your life, in a time capsule, to pass on to your children? I remember hating History in high-school, but in reality it is important to review it, so we do not make the same mistakes again. Now I really enjoy history, especially if it is a topic within history I enjoy talking about. I enjoy talking about family and even hair styles. It may seem little, but hair is important in history. When I review my old photos, I can tell which style helped me feel and look more confident and successful in life.

We all usually want what someone else has, especially when it comes to hair for girls. We are constantly striving to look great, or like the latest celebrity. If you are a new mother, you may be thinking of a new hairstyle even more now in life. A new hairstyle is one way to accessorize a major life event or milestone moment.

You are now on a new journey, and may want a different look with this walk of life with a new baby. Be confident in who you are. That is what makes you, you. If you are looking for new hairstyles yourself, check out the latest trends for 2014 at http://www.latest-hairstyles.com/trends/. Also find out what hair cut suits you better at http://beautifille.com/hairstyle-suits-me-best/. I hope this blogs offered helpful ideas for other women thinking of changing, styling, and/or cutting their hair too. Make sure you take a before and after picture of your hair, especially if you are a new mom, to save in a decorative Baby Time Capsule from www.timecapsule.com.

Also, make sure to save a cut off piece of your baby’s first haircut in the time capsule too. What a special bonding moment that will be when your child opens that time capsule, years later like at his or her graduation, and sees their baby hair for the first time. Hair is important, so save it.

]]> Leave a Legacy…..Now….With a Time Capsule



I am convinced that the greatest legacy we can leave our children are happy memories: those precious moments so much like pebbles on the beach that are plucked from the white sand and placed in tiny boxes that lay undisturbed on tall shelves until one day they spill out and time repeats itself, with joy and sweet sadness, in the child now an adult.
~ Og Mandino

“Rewind that commercial. I have got to see that again.” This is what my husband said last night as we watched a moving Olympics commercial. You know, I wish it was that easy to do with our lives and those special milestone moments that made us happy – Rewind and see that again.

If it is just as important to us to rewind good commercials, tv show clips, or movie lines, then it also needs to be that much more important to rewind and leave a legacy with our lives, (for our children), and what we do now.

Leave a Legacy

I love hearing old stories from my grandparents and parents, as they grew up. I have a hard time imagining this, but my grandmother told me that her parents had to trade chickens for eggs (instead of using cash) in the past, when she grew up. These stories leave lasting impressions on you, as I looked down at the cash in my hand. Suddenly a dollar bill, has more meaning.

What are you doing to leave a legacy? Leave your teachable moment and milestone moment stories in a Baby time capsule for your child to pass on years later. Do not wait until it is too late. A time capsule is faster than a scrapbook to do. That is why our company created it. We all are limited on time. However, it is honoring to pass on that pocket watch from grandpa, or those inspiring stories, tips, and advice from older couples in the family to help you through your struggles in your own marriage.

]]> How to Show Love to Others on Valentine’s Day – Do Your Best



Learn how to show love to others on Valentine’s Day. Be the best at what matters most in whatever you do daily….Love. Love is what matters most in our daily life walk with our spouse, child, job, social time with friends, etc. We are all surprised when we receive letters in the mail, let alone a love letter from someone who deeply cares about us.

We here at The Original Time Capsule Company want to write our customers a love letter and say thank you with this blog of helpful ideas, on how you too can share love with others around you every day. Many milestone moments come from special days of showing or giving love to others whether through acts of service, friendship, laughter, support, acceptance, etc.

Valentine’s day is advertised as a day to sell candy, flowers, gifts, etc. We, at The Original Time Capsule company do not want you to forget that love, the main ingredient associated with Valentine’s day, needs to be the focus in everything we do, every day, not just on this holiday. Currently this world is so consumed with social media, working faster, harder, their status, and whether or not someone gave them a “Like.” This Valentine’s Day, we want you to slow down and push the “Love” button with friends and family.



Not everyone has that special someone to celebrate with on Valentine’s day, but everyone can love someone or something else on this day. Many times, we forget what it means to be loved, and need helpful tips or ideas of how to show that to someone else. Valentine’s Day can be helpful for that, especially for the guys who do not like this holiday.

For the Spouses – Show Love:

Do your best at showing love to your spouse. Not everyone is created equal. We each have different ways of showing love. Do your best at what matters most this holiday, and spend time and show love with someone or something you care about.

For the Family – Show Love:

Do your best, at what matters most – Spending time and showing love to your family and children. Many times children are listening, even when we do not think they are listening. I remember pressing my ear against my parent’s door, listening in on conversations secretly. Make sure your children hear the most important message of all this holiday…I Love You with these unique activities at http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/1028393/unique-things-to-do-with-your-kids-this-valentines-day

For the Job – Show Love:

Do your best, at showing love in your job. Others, who may be looking up to you, or looking to move you up the ladder watch and notice your acts of love toward your job and others around you. It is in our best interest to show love at our jobs daily to others, which in turn gives love back to ourselves. It is easier to be around others when you show love to them, even when you do not feel like it. Here are some other great ideas of how to show your co-workers love. http://www.reporter-times.com/entertainment/parade/living/want-your-coworkers-to-love-you-try-these-tips/article_3c128fb7-bc16-5458-b6f0-6b4f60108dcf.html

For the Friends – Show Love:

Do you best, at what matters most when you are single on Valentine’s Day – Spending time with friends. It is vital to continue to give to yourself, so that you can continue to give love to others around you daily. So go spend time with yourself or friends and love on them with the helpful ideas from http://www.yourtango.com/2014206743/single-valentines-day-ideas-youll-love

Instead of making excuses why not to have Valentine’s Day, make excused to do your best and show love everyday with your spouse, family, job, friends, and yourself. Pay it forward – Love.

Instead:
– Make the excuse to spend much needed time with your hubby.
– Make the excuse to eat chocolate with friends and family
– Make the excuse to relax and enjoy a hobby away from your kids
– Make the excuse to slow dance in your living room, write a love letter, or record a video to say I love you to your spouse, friends, children, co-worker and thank them for all they have done and how they have shown you love.

Please leave a comment below on what you did for this Valentine’s week to push the “Love” button on someone else, and how you plan to show “Love” every day. We, “Like” that, as Facebook would say, but where is the “Love” it button when we need it.
