Tips:

-- Have a dream page with all of your life's dreams floating around in clouds.

-- Make a page with your child's favorite story books that you read to them at night. (You might find a picture of the cover online - try Amazon.com or Google the title)

-- On a dream/cloud page log all the things your kids have wanted to be when they grow up. (My son is on career number 37. He loves looking back and remembering why he wanted to do one job or another.)

-- Write down any of your children's silly dreams or made up stories, so they can look back at them later.

-- Write down the prayers you say with your kids at night. Put it in your book and your kids' books.
