 Before you begin your project, we recommend that you create a list of the things you’d like to record in the book. By doing this first, you can cut and paste your text into the design later and save time. Try to keep each sentence to fewer than 12 to 15 words to be sure they will fit. Consider some of these categories as you develop 100 reasons your mom is so important to you:


Lessons – Think of all those important things your mom has taught you through the years. From tying your shoes to baking a perfect pie, to handling finances, her lessons have helped to shape you into who you are today.

Memories – Who sat with you as you cried with your first broken heart? Who took you shopping for the perfect outfit? Moms make everything from vacations to first dates more memorable. Which memories do you cherish?

Gifts – Moms give the best gifts, and not all of them come wrapped in a box with a bow. A treasured necklace handed down? The use of her car for an important event? A little spare cash to get through the weekend? Mom’s gifts come from the heart and are stored in our hearts forever.


Words of Wisdom – Sage advice is something Moms everywhere seem to have in abundance. What gems did your mother share with you that have stood the test of time? Which ones do you find yourself repeating to your own children now?

Humor – From silly jokes to pratfalls, you certainly have some humorous stories about your mom. These are the goofy and laughable moments and memories that we treasure because of shared laughter and smiles.

Food – If your mother was a wonderful cook, you certainly have lots to love about this category. Maybe she shared a family recipe or a secret ingredient that made for the perfect meal. Some moms just help us to appreciate a good cookbook or a nice restaurant.


Spiritual – For many of us, Mother set the example for our spiritual growth. She took us to Sunday school, or read scripture to us. She answered our questions about beliefs and spirituality. Through this, she shaped our character.

Role Model – Even without trying, Mom set an example as a woman, a wife, a mother, a daughter. Our expectations about women were shaped by her illustration, and how we interact with other women is due in large part to what Mom taught.

Homemaker – Mom taught us about cleaning our rooms, scrubbing the shower, fixing a meal, and balancing a budget. She taught us to press the collar on a shirt and thread a needle for hemming. Some moms are handy with tools, and others knew just the right plumber for the job.

Storyteller – Whether she read from a book, made things up on the fly, or related tales from the past, Mom shared with us in adventures both real and imagined. She helped us fall to sleep at night, or entertained us around a campfire, and her stories are treasured by us still.

There are so many different areas where Mom impacts our lives. You’ll want to think of as many as you can and write them down so you’ll have them at the ready. You can also invite others to contribute thoughts: siblings, nieces and nephews, grandchildren, or even friends. Now it’s time to begin making your book.

To start, login to your Studio account and search for template ID 56347. The predesigned pages are pretty and feminine, and they are waiting for you to fill with your thoughts, memories, and favorite picture of your favorite lady. Simply replace the existing photo with your own, cut and paste your text and in less than an hour, you’ll have a beautiful, 100% custom gift for your mom.
