This came up on my Facebook the other day and I couldn’t not have a look. I did a similar one in 2017 of 52 family stories.

Start

I keep most of my details in my My Life Story Book by SUCK UK.

Details

1. My life story – mine
2. My life story – Jack
3. My life story – Angel
4. Our life story – Jack and myself
5. Our life story – family
6. My travel journal – our adventures
7. My family cookbook – favourite recipes

Using a tip from Becky Higgins of Starting with the end in mind.

My aim this year is to get more of the details down onto paper. A couple of years ago Jack bought me the Our Life Story book for the two of us to record our life as a couple. It came damaged so we were sent a second one. I would like somehow to dedicate each chapter (12) pages to a person, couple, family group. So the big and little details are in one place.

The book is designed as follows

1. Blank page / I have made this a dedication page.
2. Our life story / our last name and year we met.
3. Lost & description of book
4. About Myself and Jack

These pages will most likely have photos / memories *

1. Education *
2. Jobs *
3. Awards and achievements *
4. Useful skills *
5. Bad habits *
6. Our map *
7. Suggested places to go together/ our places to go *
8. Suggested things to see together / our things to see *
9. Suggested things to do together / our things to do *
10. Suggested things to eat together / our things to eat *
11. Our future hopes & dreams *
12. Our future goals and aspirations *
13. Where we want to visit *
14. Blank pages *
15. seasons 8 pages (one family per chapter)
16. Highlights of our year / large photo (photos of that family
17. Two smaller photos / blank page (photos / family tree)
18. Top ten (two or three of these in the book) ( will pick key years)
19. Spaces for photos and memorabilia at the back. (More photos)

Keep in mind that We have a personal book each, one as a couple, a travel one and a cookbook so a majority of our personal / other information will be in those this book is more of a family catch all for our extended family.

Now to work out who goes first and in what order.

1. Us / Angel, Robert, Sarah.
2. My parents.
3. my siblings / children / grandchildren.
4. Jacks parents.
5. his siblings / children.
6. Grandparents each side.
7. Aunts uncles each side / children / grandchildren.
8. Great grandparents.
9. Etc.
