A keepsake filled with her stories, memories, wisdom, and love personalized with the special name your family calls her.
Things I Want You to Know About Me is a guided hardcover memory journal created for grandmothers to preserve the stories their grandchildren may someday wish they had asked.
This is more than a fill-in journal. It is a place for her to tell them:
• What she was like as a little girl
• Where she came from
• What life was like “back in her day”
• Who raised her and shaped her
• What she remembers about becoming a mother
• What it felt like when she became their grandmother
• Lessons she learned the hard way
• What she would tell her younger self
• Family recipes and traditions she hopes continue
• What she loves most about her grandchild
• The things she never wants them to forget

And because every family has its own name for Grandma, the book can be personalized throughout with her grandmother name. So if your family calls her Nana, Gigi, Mimi, Grammy, Mamaw, Nonna, Gran, Grandma, Oma or something completely unique, that name can replace “Grandma” throughout the book. A Truly Personalized Family Keepsake

This isn't simply personalized on the cover. Her chosen grandmother name is incorporated throughout the journal wherever “Grandma” appears, creating a book that feels like it was made specifically for your family.
For example:
A Nana Keepsake
A Note From Nana
Before I Was Nana...
The Day I Became Nana
What I Love About Being Your Nana
Nana Confessions
Read This When You Need Nana
Love always, Nana

That small detail makes the finished book feel incredibly personal.

What's Inside:
The 24-page, 11x8.5 in., hardcover journal walks her through her life in a natural story rather than asking a random collection of questions. It begins with childhood and family memories, moves through her teenage years and adulthood, becoming a mother and grandmother, and finishes with the wisdom, encouragement, and love she wants her grandchild to carry with them.
Inside you'll find pages such as:
• Where My Story Began - A place to share where she was born, what her childhood home was like, and add an early photograph.
• Little Me - What she was like before anyone knew her as Nana, Gigi or Grandma.
• Back in My Day -The music, traditions, everyday life, and things younger generations may never experience.
• My Teenage Years - Friends, music, style, hangouts, and maybe a little trouble.
• My Firsts - First job, first car, first heartbreak, first big purchase and more.
• Becoming a Mom - Memories from one of the biggest chapters of her life.
• The Day I Became Your Grandma - What she remembers about learning her grandchild was coming and the first time they met.
• Our Memories - Favorite adventures, holidays, traditions, and ordinary moments that became special.
• Grandma Confessions -A lighter page full of funny habits, guilty pleasures, and things the grandkids might not know.
• The Hard Stuff - Lessons learned through difficult seasons.
• What Life Has Taught Me - Her thoughts about family, friendship, work, happiness, money, growing older and what truly matters.
• Recipes, Traditions & Little Things- A place to preserve the family details that are so easy to lose over time.
• About You - A page dedicated entirely to what she sees and loves in her grandchild.
• When Life Gets Hard - Words they can return to someday when they need encouragement from her.
• Things I Never Want You to Forget
• And finally: One Last Thing - A closing letter reminding them just how deeply they have always been loved.

A Meaningful Gift for
This keepsake makes a beautiful gift for a:
- new grandmother
- first-time grandma
- Nana
- Gigi
- Mimi
- Grammy
- Mamaw

It is especially meaningful for the grandmother who says: “I don't need anything.”
Because this isn't really something you're giving to her. You're giving her a place to leave something for them.

Why This Book Matters:
Family stories have a funny way of disappearing. Not because they weren't important. Because nobody realized they needed to ask while there was still time to ask.
The ordinary details - Grandma's first car, where everyone hung out, what her mother cooked, the song she loved, the mistake that changed her, the advice she'd give now, often become the things we wish we knew most.

This journal gives her a beautiful place to save them. So years from now, her grandchild doesn't just remember that she loved them. They can open a book and hear her story, her humor, her advice, and her voice waiting for them inside.

Every family has stories worth saving. This book holds a few of hers.
