This Christmas, give Mom the chance to tell her own story
You give the gift. Mom tells her own stories, and the family reads them in a private feed.
Give a year of stories: $69, one-time, never renews
Example story (written by us to show the format)
Question of the week
What did your kitchen smell like on Sunday mornings when you were little?
Mom's answer (example)
Coffee and bacon, always. My father made pancakes in the cast iron pan and let me flip the last one, which was never round. My mother hummed hymns while she set the table, and we weren't allowed to eat until everyone sat down. I still can't smell bacon without hearing her humming.
Family reaction (example)
❤️ Emma: Grandma, is that why you hum when you cook?
Give it this Christmas
Choose December 25 as the start date. Print the gift card for under the tree.
Order by December 24 and the welcome email goes out Christmas morning at 8am Eastern.
The first question is ready on the website that day. After that, questions arrive by email each Monday.
Each month the family downloads a PDF mini-book.
A few of the questions
These are sample questions from different parts of life: childhood, food, love, work, holidays, and places. Your family can write their own. Family questions go first after the current question. The storyteller can skip any question.
- What did a weekday morning look like in the house where you grew up?
- What's a dish you make, or remember, that never tastes quite the same when someone else makes it?
- Who is someone you've loved, as a friend, family member, or partner, and how did you first meet?
- What was the first job you were paid for, and what did you do with the pay?
- What holiday or special occasion did your family make the most of when you were growing up?
