As I said before, one of my main goals in starting with Heritage Makers was to have a way (an EASY way) to keep a record of the goings on of our family. I'm terrible at journals. There never seems to be enough time (or enough creativity in my brain) to actually scrapbook. Blogging has been great, but there was no physical record to keep. Thus HM was my solution. As I was reading through the HM mission statement I read that one of the goals of the company was to strengthen family, improve relationships, and build a child's self esteem. Now, strengthen family I could see...improve relationships I could see...but I wasn't sure exactly how a book, or poster, or playing cards would improve my child's self esteem.
I had a board book credit in my account, and as I tried to think of ways to use it I came across a fun little template in the gallery, so I decided to make a book for one of my kiddo's....and his reaction when he got his book surprised me a little. Don't get me wrong...I knew he would like it. What kid wouldn't like to have a book about himself? What I didn't anticipate was his excitement over it. Quite regularly I find him like this...
He loves to look at each page and hear why HE is important to different members of our family.
I can now see how Heritage Makers can say they believe their company can help increase a child's self esteem! Rylen loves HIS book...and all the other kids are waiting for their own book now too. I guess I better get busy!
