The ultimate legacy journal.

Made from a tactile linen hardback cover, our grandparent memory journal is filled with a range of open and closed questions, where Dada can share his life story and memories.

When starting a memory journal knowing where to begin can be so difficult. Our guided questions will give an all encompassing insight into your grandparent's life. The prompts also help ensure your journal is well structured and easy to follow. Plus, we have a section with some extra lined pages to freely share whatever springs to mind! Ensuring those beautifully random and unique memories have a home. 

A great practical size, this charming journal can be completed curled up on the sofa or on the go at a family get-together.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Taking you on a journey through Dada's life, our journal covers the milestone moments and the ‘everyday’ ones too. Where did Dada grow up? What was his childhood home like? We also cover unique topics such as ancestry, family traditions, exploring country and culture, wider world, reflective questions and more!

Please note this is predominantly a text journal, so the spaces for photographs are very *limited* and are only present in the family section. 

CHAPTER ONE: FAMILY

All about Dada's family and space to draw a family tree

CHAPTER TWO: EARLY YEARS

Exploring childhood and teenage years

CHAPTER THREE: ADULTHOOD

Jobs, friends and more!

CHAPTER FOUR: WIDER WORLD

Travel and wider world questions

CHAPTER FIVE: COUNTRY & CULTURE

Even if Dada or his ancestors haven't moved country, you can still use this journal! There are six pages on moving country. If this is not applicable Dada can use this space to share stories if he has moved regions within the same country, or simply skip these questions.

Reflective questions

12 lined pages for extra notes or an opportunity to get creative and have your own Q&A!
