How To: Document Family Memories in Your New Home

You did it! You got the accepted offer and you’re set to close on your new home. In this market, that’s something to be celebrated and remembered! Whether this is your first family home or your fourth, we know that the memories you make there will last a lifetime. So why not create a beautiful keepsake to record the days ahead? With the Favorite Memories Keepsake, we make it easy.

Pick Your Cover & Customize

Decide Which Memories to Record

The Favorite Memories Keepsake has 42 pages to document all of your important memories, events, and milestones over the years.  Each page has the title Favorite Memories, lines for the details, and a spot for a 4×6 photo or keepsake. If you’re just settling into your new home, start with your moving experience. Or you can record that very first night in your new place. From there, document your holiday get-togethers, family vacations, local trips, kids sporting events, and more!

Just get back from a vacation? Print out your photos and use them as inspiration for what to record in your book. Since all of our books are created using screw post binding, you can easily remove and rearrange pages as you go.

Add More Pages

All of our memory books come with expanders, giving you the flexibility of adding additional pages. With our 12-page Additional Insert Page Packs, you have the option to expand your books with more details, memories and pictures. Add more Favorite Memories Pages to your book, or add pages for additional Photos & Keepsakes, Blank or Lined Pages to write out family notes, or Keepsake Envelopes to store extra memorabilia.

Involve the Kids

Moving to a new home is an exciting time for kids! With our Kids Moving Journal, they can record their thoughts, feelings, and memories of their old and new homes. It’s a great project for kids while the adults are unpacking, or use it as a first-night-in-the-house activity. Pages are printed on one side, so there’s room for photos, drawings, and keepsakes. With prompts such as “About My Old Home,” “How My New Home is Different,” you’ll love looking at this Journal turned keepsake long after you’ve unpacked the last box.

A themed sticker sheet adds to the fun!
