I put together a free printable for you to use too, my friend! You can download both the 8.5×11 size, or the condensed size (7.75×7.25, pictured above) below. I guess that adds up to quite a few interviews, but we’ve been doing it for three years already and it is so much fun to look back and see the changes.
I will print off fifteen of these pages (for each child, starting from age 3 through 18). I simply do a mini interview at each birthday (starting at age 3), write down their answers to twenty questions, and tuck the pages away in their baby book. It is like taking a snapshot of their life right now, their favorite foods and friends. I only have to do it once a year, on their birthdays. This is one tiny little thing that I’ve been able to actually keep up with (so far). As much as I want to freeze them in time, to remember the smell of th eir baby soap, the squishiness of their little hands, and the sound of their little voices singing around the house, I can’t.
I am finding that I remember less, and write down less, about each child as the years go by. Heck, I can barely keep up with their baby books. I am starting to forget at what age Callie’s first tooth came in, and what month did Clara start to crawl again? I never wrote down Cooper’s birth story.

They don’t all have their proper monthly/yearly pictures either, even though I’m a professional photographer. My kids don’t have scrapbooks for each year of their lives. You know, that “mom guilt” we’re all familiar with. Too many pages and pictures, decisions and die cut and decorative edges.īut then I stop to think about it, and start to feel guilty. But I suppose I could say I strongly dislike the idea of scrapbooking. Actually, I’ve never really tried scrapbooking.
