Make a photo album can be so much fun because it can bring the family closer, as you are remembering stories, lessons learned, and thinking about the wisdom you were taught from someone you love. What is you most favorite memory? Someday, your great grandparents may no longer be around, so make sure you capture everything you can about them now. Take photos, have them write out the family heirloom recipes, make a video with them answering questions about what life was like when they grew up and went to school.

In addition to making a photo album, preserve your mementos and memorabilia from some of these milestone moments in your life, in a time capsule. Imagine opening the time capsule 20 or 30 years from now. Some of those family members may no longer be around. Their stories can still live on in the photo albums and time capsule you put together as a family. Make sure you save a newspaper from the day you fill the time capsule, so you know what major news headlines were talked about at that time. When you make a time capsule, and reminisce years later, it is like you are a part of history. That will be one unforgettable moment.

You don’t know what you have until it is gone. So make the most of today, by making these must have photo album pages. You will not regret it.
