Your baby is coming soon. Learn what to include in a Baby Time Capsule, especially the first month after your baby is born. There are many milestone moments you want to capture.

On the back of this decorative Baby Time Capsule it reads:

Once upon a time you were born…

…and this magical year –

long, long ago – was a time 

of excitement and great

change in the world.

The wonderful day 

of your birth and year

that followed is what this

Time Capsule celebrates.

Your family and friends have gathered a unique

collection of everyday items that will – with the passage

of time – most assuredly become priceless to you. They 

wanted the memorabilia in this Time Capsule to afford

you a small glimpse back in time – an opportunity to 

recapture s an adult the events, trends, and popular 

culture that would become part of your very being.

Your capsule has been sealed for many years…

waiting for that special day – that once-in-a-lifetime 

reunion with the beginning of it all. When you open it,

you will take part in one of the most personal history

lessons ever. You will have the unique opportunity to 

know what life was like the year you were born. 

What to Include as Keepsakes in your Baby Time Capsule:

When I was cleaning out my closet the other day, I saw items I thought I lost. It was a tragedy to see some mice had eaten some of the paper items. I almost felt like I was hurting my mother and father in some way, for not taking better care of these items.

I do not want this to happen to you, so I have made a list of items to keep in your Baby Time Capsule now before they are destroyed.

1. A local daily newspaper
2. A video of the local nightly news
3. A national newspaper (USA Today)
4. A television guide
5. A weekly news magazine (Time, Newsweek)
6. An entertainment magazine (People, US)
7. Special interest magazines (Sports Illustrated)
8. Baby’s and Mom’s I.D. bracelets from the hospital
9. Baby’s name card from the hospital
10. New baby cards and letters received from friends and family members
11. Baby’s first outfit
12. Baby’s first photo
13. Souvenir birth certificate
14. Newspaper front pages with major headlines throughout the year
15. Gas receipt (so your baby knows how much gas was when he or she was born)
16. A list of popular expressions (slang)
17. A popular toy, doll or fad item (Beanie Babies, Pet Rock, etc)
18. A sample of product packaging (empty Coke can, etc)
19. Your extended family tree
20. A roughly drawn floor plan of your home
21. A popular CD or recording of your favorite radio show or music.
22. A copy of a future-oriented magazine (I wonder if their predictions will be true 20 or 50 years from now, or whenever you have your baby open their own Time Capsule).
23. A menu from a favorite restaurant
24. Items from your job to show where you were working when your baby was first born. (business card, etc)
25. Drawings or messages from siblings (include a photo or video of how you announced to your children that they will be having a baby brother or sister soon.
26. A current postage stamp.
27. Coins or money from this year.
28. Year-in-Review issues of magazines or newspapers

Congratulations on being pregnant or recently having your precious child. What a special gift. You are officially a mother now. Hold on tight. This will be your first Mother’s Day. After being in labor for who knows how long, being nine months pregnant, you have definitely deserved this day. Make your first Mother’s Day as unforgettable as you are.

Live each day of your life without regrets. That is one of my life mottos, so I want you to live this one special holiday to the fullest, one in which you never forget. Remember those cute DIY Mother’s day gifts or cards you made your mother, the special dinner you made your mother (as best as you could), the funny or sentimental show you put on for your mom? Ah, the good old days when we were very creative as children, in our choices of gifts of thanks to our mother for Mother’s Day.


http://we-made-that.com/Mothers-day-handprint-flowers/

What do you really want for Mother’s Day? – It’s Your Day, be selfish. It’s ok.
Ask yourself:

– What do I wish I could have done or completed last year before getting pregnant?
– What do I really need as a mother right now?
– What do I enjoy doing the most for fun?
– What have I always wanted?

Breakfast in bed sounds nice, getting a mani/pedi or spa treatment for a day, flowers, cake, or perhaps a looooonnnnggggg nap (especially if you have been up with your new baby for several days in a row now). Many times, it is so hard to get away from your child on your first Mother’s Day. You don’t have to though. Why not do something meaningful, unique, and memorable on your first Mother’s Day. Spend the day filling a decorative and artistic Baby Time Capsule from www.timecapsule.com.

Tips to Make a Milestone Moment Mother’s Day

1. Take a lot of photos of your pregnancy, new baby, family, friends, where you celebrated this day, food eaten, gifts received, etc. Be able to show and tell your child what you did for your first Mother’s Day, years later when he or she opens their time capsule or asks as you are looking at your photo album.

2. Make sure to spend time with your mother and grandmother too. There is nothing like the wisdom, advice, care, and presence of your very own mother and generational line of love near you this Mother’s Day. They may just have some helpful hints for your first year with your new baby.

3. Start a new tradition together on your first Mother’s Day. Make a craft together, go somewhere, play games, drink tea on the porch and reminisce, etc.

4. Do nothing….Ah, the day you have been waiting for most as a new parent. The ultimate day of rest. Stay in bed and watch your favorite movie, sleep, read, etc. It’s your day, so make the most of it.

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.



How to Tell Someone You are Pregnant

It can be a moment when we all receive the tightest and biggest hugs. Now with social media, there are so many ideas to share with each other of how to let your loved ones know you are pregnant.

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.
