Right along with determining to host a birthday party when she turned three, I also determined to conduct a little birthday interview. This will be a yearly tradition. At least that’s my plan.
I wish I were better at all the journaling and remembering of details. I take pictures and I write some stuff down. But it’s not in a monogramed journal and I miss stuff I wish I’d captured. This is one area that I really want to improve in and be a little more intentional about capturing the moments.

How do you keep the moments captured and organized? Scrapbook, journal, photo books? I need some good ideas. =)
I like her answer to number 20 the most.
I do too, even though it makes me want to cry at times. This country is SO wide!
I love this idea SO much, Breanne.
What a treasure these answers will be one day. And how lovely that she knows herself well enough to be able to answer them. That is BRILLIANT and a testament to you and J and how you value her. XO
Thank-you, Krista! You are such a life-giving friend! I can’t wait to see the answers over the years either. =)
On Keeping memories organized…. part of me says: I don’t. The other part of me says, that I try to write little notes on the calendars, and take lots of pictures, and I have a scrap book ( not the pretty photo book, but a scrap book leftover from my preschool days) that I tape and paste special things, like first haircuts, drawing, birthday cards, etc… So far this is working just fine, I can’t imagine more time to do something particularly creative with them all at present.
I love what you do, Breanna!! I’ve been thinking about doing a similar scrapbook idea. I have photo scrapbooks for the girls first year but beyond that I simply can’t keep up. =)
