Yearly emails for your children

Just an idea for anyone who is interested in doing this! I just made my baby a Gmail. You can create a child's account and have access to it until they turn 13. I just wrote my first email to him. I plan on writing an email every year around his birthday talking about the past year and all of his milestones, accomplishments, and any fun memories we made. When he's older (old enough to appreciate it) he can read them whenever he wants. He'll always have letters from his Mommy and anyone else who wants to email him over the years. ❤

This is such a cute idea

@Ellie Thank you!! 😊

I just did this for my daughter. However I am worried of gmail wanting to do a wipe of accounts like Meta has apparently

This is such a dope idea queen. My baby is not a baby any more, but he is only 6 ,so, I still think it would be an awesome thing to do for him. Thanks for the idea, I love it. 🙌🏾💜👑

@Charlotte Oh no I hope that doesn't happen! 😭

@Destiny Thank you! And yess absolutely, he's still young enough!! I'm probably going to send a birthday email even when my kids are in their 40s! 🤣

@Charlotte you could always go old school and write them on paper

I have like a box and I write it out on paper, I have nice handwriting 😂 and prefer letters. But yes. It goes into his school folder, the ones w all his school photos the kids have one each. I had a pregnancy journal too. I still have my pee sticks from 19yrs ago 😂 still positive. LOL

my husband and i did this but each wrote her an email every month for the first year of her life to say what new things she’s doing and her favorite things at the time and attached photos from that month. we stopped doing it so much after she turned 1 but i’m so glad we did

Or create an YouTube channel. Adding all videos, all memories and set up for private or you can set up that for your family can see it as well. It’s something what I want to do. 🤍

@Kellie Love this!! I have a journal called "Letters to my Little Boy" that was gifted to me but I haven't used it yet!

@Mia I love this!!

@Daria Love this idea!! I definitely want him to see videos and pictures!
