I also keep a daily journal type thing (just gives 6 or 7 lines per day), so I was tracking daily covid cases for awhile in the beginning for our state/area, I haven't been really good about it lately. </p> <p>I set up email accounts for my 2 littles, and had sent an email to them when this first started, so I'll have to send another 'update' (and go back and read what I had sent!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2020-covid-memory-book#post-2920393 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 21:38:05 +0000 bhbee 2920393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do a yearly book but this year will definitely look different! Looking back, I hope we remember the time together and forget the hard parts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2020-covid-memory-book#post-2920391 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 21:34:47 +0000 catgirl 2920391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: mostly simple things - info about any trips, favorite places we like to go each season, info on DD's favorite toys/activities/shows, any new things she started/learned/mastered, the names of her friends, and events we went to. I feel a little corny but I want to remember the little details of life. I don't make it mushy or flowery - keep it to facts mostly. Typically one paragraph for each month, unless major events happened. Then there might be a couple of smaller paragraphs for each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2020-covid-memory-book#post-2920389 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 21:30:15 +0000 LadyDi 2920389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catgirl: what do you write usually? I always feel really corny when I write in our books. I’m rushing to get my 2019 one done before 2020 ends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2020-covid-memory-book#post-2920371 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 20:58:25 +0000 mediagirl 2920371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep a journal. I wrote in it a lot as covid was every changing and uncertain. Now that we know more, I don't write as much. I am glad I kept it, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2020-covid-memory-book#post-2920283 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 15:02:54 +0000 ilovepie 2920283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to do our regular book, but we will have so many more pictures for March- June than normal. We did all sorts of special at home things with the kids and have pictures of all of it. They hate the being home part but miss the family time now that we are out more again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2020-covid-memory-book#post-2920269 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 14:26:48 +0000 catgirl 2920269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on just doing our regular annual book, I always add some writing in with the pictures anyway, so will just continue that. I do think it will be really interesting to look back on when she is older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2020-covid-memory-book#post-2920244 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 13:41:18 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2920244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a baby the first week of quarantine...so I've been documenting all of his firsts. I think it made the adjustments for the big kids much easier actually. At some point I will make a photobook or something for the big kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2020-covid-memory-book#post-2920232 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 13:33:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2920232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: Yes! I hope to be able to show the kids that even in the "worst" of times, we were able to bond, create memories, etc. I may just focus on even just one special thing per month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2020-covid-memory-book#post-2920211 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 13:19:52 +0000 bpcmarj 2920211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a great idea. I think I would wait to see what happens in the next month or so before making it - but I don't want to forget the things that we did. Even though since March P has said this is a time in her life that she never wants to remember, I think for posterity it would be cool for her to show her kids/grandkids someday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2020-covid-memory-book#post-2920203 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 13:10:35 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2920203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone thought about documenting for your kids the Covid 2020 adventure? I have been trying to keep up with photos so we can document and remember that we did have a lot of fun and good memories. Would you make a book just for 2020 or specifically like March 2020 to March 2021? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-are-you-good-at-remembering-birthdays#post-64515 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:49:23 +0000 cupcakemama 64515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually just remember them. DH is actually really good with dates. He remembers all of our significant dates and anniversaries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-are-you-good-at-remembering-birthdays#post-64333 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:25:21 +0000 tequiero21 64333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i remember family and some friends. and trying to remember their kids. don't really have a calendar. facebook helps as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-are-you-good-at-remembering-birthdays#post-64324 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:21:33 +0000 mynoahbear 64324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be really good with birthdays and special dates. I had to send out the birthday cards and presents because DH has no idea. But since our first baby was in NICU for so long and now with our new LO... no ones gotten a happy birthday in a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-are-you-good-at-remembering-birthdays#post-64319 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:19:50 +0000 heffalump 64319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If its not on Facebook and you're not in my immediate family, I won't remember. I finally memorized hubby's birthday because he was in the hospital a few days and they asked him every time they came in the room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-are-you-good-at-remembering-birthdays#post-64229 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:31:11 +0000 joyjoy 64229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@boogs My hubby is the same way! He knows his immediate family and a few of his closer cousins. I know birthdays and anniversaries for all my immediate family, cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents on both sides of my family. I guess it is a girl thing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-are-you-good-at-remembering-birthdays#post-64197 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:10:25 +0000 Boogs 64197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: He knows his mom and dad, his brother (they share their birthday) and that's it! I tested him one day and he didn't even know his grandma's birthday! He knew about when it was, but not the actual day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-are-you-good-at-remembering-birthdays#post-64177 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:02:05 +0000 chopsuey 64177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: your DH doesn't have his family's bdays memorized? I know immediate family + cousins + aunts + close friends :)<br /> I think women are definitely better are remembering dates though :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-are-you-good-at-remembering-birthdays#post-64172 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:59:05 +0000 Boogs 64172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: That's like me. It always amazes DH, but maybe it's a girl thing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-are-you-good-at-remembering-birthdays#post-64161 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:52:18 +0000 chopsuey 64161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have birthdays/anniversaries memorized. Slowly starting to memorize DH's fam's bdays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-are-you-good-at-remembering-birthdays#post-64159 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:51:30 +0000 Boogs 64159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you good at remembering dates like birthdays and anniversaries, or do you have to keep a list or calendar of them to remember? </p>
