Milestone Moments to Record

Check out these milestone moments to record. Life is too precious to let our important days fly by. Make sure you capture the precious memories in a video time capsule, in photos, a treasure box.

Our life is filled with milestones from the moment we are born. These are milestone moments to record because they change us and make us who we are as we get older. Have you ever sat down and written out all the milestone moments you think you have gone through. We challenge you to do this soon, and write down your most favorite memory during that milestone moment in your life. Save this list in your own time capsule, to open years or decades later.
